Vivek was known around the castle to be a bit of a troublemaker.
Though a magical familiar, the over-sized barn owl appeared to maneuver with a mind of its own and less on the whims of his master. Despite the birds fondness for theft and pranks, he often parted from his latest heist with no more than a loud and stern scolding. No one would ever dare to harm the animal, lest the wished to face the wrath of the royal sorcerer.
Even now, Darcy Weatherfare, council to the queen on all things arcane, had no idea where his owl was. Which was fine, he couldn’t be bothered with Vivek’s whereabouts on a constant basis. As long as the creature was around when he needed it, that was good enough. He had too much to do to babysit and spirited and free-willed owl.
Vivek had been appearing less and less in Darcy’s study with the arrival of their Eskran guests. Darcy didn’t question it, Darcy didn’t care. He didn’t even care enough to have introduced himself to the Eskrans.
By now, it was possible that a certain alchemist had noticed himself as the object of Vivek’s attention. The bird had a sort of fascination with him. Often landing nearby to watch him as he worked. Day by day he moved a bit closer, as if to judge what the overall perception of him would be. Today, Vivek was done with playing it safe. As made evident by the way he dropped out of the ceiling, directly next to the dark-haired alchemist who had made himself comfortable in the library. Vivek squawked out at him loudly, though there was something cheerful to the noise, before he stood tall and flared out his wings in a clear demand for attention.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
