here it is... the meat of this plot point...
i'm still not fully satisfied with the colors of the scene-- not grey enough.
the owl's a little tough to write. i wanted to make him obviously observation and aware of the emotions in the room... capable of expressing empathy as a person... to contrast with later actions.
also... when he clicks his pen, i thought it was hilarious that he clicked it twice for emphasis. did he not realize it just left his pen in the same position as when he pulled it out? does he leave his pen's nib out in his pants pocket just to be able to click it twice? did he forget to click it shut last time and quickly realized his error, forcing him to try to casually click it twice? who knows! i decided to add the third click as a last-minute decision to acknowledge the strangeness.
it's a little risky adding humor to this scene... but i'm hoping it'll help the mood build over the pages.
