Charles nodded, "Firewhiskey isn't for everyone. I hate the stuff. But animals?" He turned to her, "What about them do you like?"

In truth, Charles was the opposite. He was not an animal person in the slightest. He connected more with alcohol and criminals than he did owls and frogs. Perhaps that was why his owl had a strong disdain for him. The feeling was mutual though, "And you must be special if he didn't bite you. He bites everyone. One look and he'll have your finger. Or perhaps not. You're some sort of owl magician."
