Meeting someone new
~~ Mii ~~
Finally, it had been 2 days since Mii had been put in the rescue squad. Her training among all the squads had finally paid off. Mii woke up and stood up at dusk, she watched the sun go down for a long time. It was very beautiful, surely the most beautiful thing in the world, the Sun was as usual, it did not need anything, it rose and then sets. Mii spread her wings and left for the training camp. She was to do her first training there. She was new to this squad and she didn't know anyone. She arrived at the same time as the others and set about waiting for everyone to preen her feathers. Eventually everyone was there and Mii introduced herself, although she hated doing this kind of thing and said:
-Hello, my name is Mii. I come from the Ambala forest.
The class began, the goal was to learn how to gently retrieve something on the floor at high speed. It was quite complicated especially since they had to go fast and without stopping. At the end of the exercise, a break was accepted by all owls. Mii got back to her corner and looked at everyone , trying to figure out who they could be. Her gaze was drawn to a snowy owl. She looked away and the exercise resumed except that this time it was Groups of two were made and Mii ended up with this owl she had seen earlier.
Mii fought as best she could, that is to say her best, but at one point she was thrown against a large branch which stunned her, she gave a high-pitched whistle of displeasure then got up and started again to charge but in her anger she made a false move and fell once more. Ouch. She heard the owl hissing, she said:
-And it makes you laugh! You'll see !
Suddenly she tacked the owl to the ground; then she worried, in her anger, she did not think. She worried because the owl was bigger than her and since she was new, she only had few techniques, if he too got angry, what would she do? She released her grip and took a few steps back, and apologized in a whisper and went off with her wings, what a pitcher, attacking like her on an excess of anger, it wasn't like her she would. friends and could help his sister.
The practice being over, it was time to eat and Mii was hungry, she ate alone as usual, to her surprise she saw the owl coming towards her, was he angry?
~~ Aldo ~~
Aldo was preening his feathers. He was going to go do his training in the Rescue Squad. Since the time that he followed these trainings, he was very strong, in combat as in recovery of objects in flight. The owl flew off to the training ground. There was a new recruit there who was preening his feathers while waiting for everyone to arrive. It was a Greater Sooty Owl. Aldo decided to be a little wary of this owl, as she could be a Pure One spy. Barrane, the Ryb of the Squad, asked the new owl to introduce himself.
-Hello, my name is Mii. I come from the Ambala forest.
Mii ... A name that evokes neither purity nor Pure Ones. The class began, the goal was to grab an object in flight, at high speed and delicately. Aldo had done it hundreds of times, and it wasn't now that he was going to fail at this exercise. At the end of the first part of the class, a break was accepted by all the owls. The Sooty owl moved into a corner and watched everyone. Aldo took advantage of this break to preen his feathers. The exercise resumed, but with combat. The Ryb made groups of two, and the snowy owl ended up with Mii. She fought as best she could, and Aldo did his best not to use advanced fighting techniques, as the other owl was new. Aldo sent her fly over a large rock to test her defenses. The ol hissed in annoyance, stood up, and attempted another attack, but fell again. Aldo hissed: he had never seen such a clumsy bird! a hiss of anger silenced him in the blink of an eye:
-And that makes you laugh! You'll see!
In a tenth of a second, Aldo found himself pinned to the ground. The snowy owl saw a flicker of hesitation in the owl's eyes. She let go and stepped back, surely fearing retaliation. She apologized in a whisper, and the end of practice rang, it was time to eat, and Aldo was hungry. He walked over to Mii, as she was alone, and settled himself next to her. He declared:
-You're doing well, for a new recruit, Mii.
~~ Mii ~~
Mii was downright shocked. She expected him to get angry. And yet. No. That owl had only said that Mii fought well. Either it was true. but only when she was really angry did she really care. Mi was so shocked she didn't even take the compliment into account. She was all the more surprised that she had attacked him out of sheer meanness anyway. Mii promised herself that one day she would be able to control her anger impulses. Finally, coming out of her torpor, Mii replied, a little suspiciously:
-Thanks, but I don't understand what I did, I don't think I'm good at fighting right now.
While waiting for the owl to respond, Mii took the opportunity to look at the owl with more precision. Snow-white plumage, piercing amber eyes, he was taller than Mii. She tried to understand his reaction, he did. Mii hid well. Mii was exasperated for a moment. Then, Mii often fatally got over something, she spoke to the owl but ... did not know his name, so she hastened to ask him:
- By the way, what is your name?
Mii's curiosity won out over his suspicion. Who was this owl? Where did he come from? What was his purpose here? Each owl in the big tree had a story told Mii was curious, she loved to know other people's stories, whatever they are always interesting.
~~ Aldo ~~
-Thanks, but I don't understand what I did, I don't think I'm good at fighting right now.
She's good at it, but she doesn't know it, unless she's good only in her moments of anger. Aldo smoothed down his feathers.
- By the way, what is your name?
- My name is Aldo. I've got things to do after dinner. Do you want to help?
