"I didn't know their were owls that small." Kadyn had gotten out one of his
school books on potions, and a glass bottle, full of a drink from his
parents cafe. He took a swig and asked "Does either of you know when the
trolley comes around? I didn't bring any food..." His stomach gurgled,
and he took another drink out of the bottle.
