Gus couldn't help but laugh. Merlin was definitely food motivated, and he wasn't shocked to hear that he was vain. He probably wanted all other owls to bow to him.
Mr. Finnigan,
It's good to hear there was no gnashing beak this morning! You're definitely taking steps in the right direction. Maybe your owl is starting to come around to you, and soon you'll be the only person who will be able to send letters without being bitten. (Or having your toast stolen!)
Keep up the kind words and maybe a little more flattery here and there. If you need anymore help, you know where to find me.
A.L.
