In the meantime, Graham still was unable to remove Cedric from the tree. Cedric seemed to be holding onto a branch for dear life. [color=ed1c24]Cedric! This is highly irregular of you! You must come down this instant! I understand your fear of the beast, but now you won't come down even if we're simply going into the academy.[/color] Graham stopped shaking and began pondering to himself. [color=ed1c24]This wouldn't be about your attending the academy with me would it Cedric?[/color] [color=0054a6] OOooh! Yes Graham! I really do prefer to stay at home rather than join you on any of terrifying quests![/color] [color=ed1c24]Terrifying?! I don't believe any of them would be that forbidding for a brave Owl like you. We've been swallowed by whales, entered haunted forests, defeated the yeti.[/color] [color=0054a6] That is exactly what I'm most afraid of! Besides, I've already gone through the scariest of them all! Academia! I faced my four monthes and the magical academy for owls! I don't see my reason for attending this one![/color] [color=ed1c24] Four Monthes?[/color] [color=0054a6]An Owl's life is shorter than a human's therefore our time in academia is much more shorter than yours. [/color] Graham sighed, he'd love to meet the locals, but he desperately needed Cedric to accompany him and join him on yet another mystical adventure. With no other choice, Graham took out his backpack and slashed the branch Cedric to holding onto off. [color=0054a6] OH NOOOOOO![/color] Cedric cried and tried to fly away, finding another tree to hide in. Graham looked down at the branch. The branch wasn't entirely cut off, it was light and only half the size of a normal branch. He fit the branch into his pocket. [color=ed1c24]You never know when you may need a branch. Now then, where's Cedric?[/color] Cedric was flying in circles, Graham laughed and started to make chase. Cedric then took off in a random direction, towards the beast. [color=0054a6] EEEEEEEK! [/color] Cedric did a complete 180 and started flying the other way, making sure not to come in grabbing distance of the beast. Graham was startled and ended up bumping into the beast, quickly scrambling to his feet. [color=ed1c24] Cedric![/color] He turns to the beast. [color=ed1c24]Once again I am terribly sorry. My owl friend has trouble making friends, perhaps we can chat when everything's cooled down. [/color] Graham started chasing after Cedric, only to see him scream at Graham pursuing and running head first into some young thin girl. (AKA Elsa) [color=ed1c24] Oh dear.[/color] Graham ran over and finally seized Cedric and placed him down on the ground. He then tended to the girl. [color=ed1c24]I am terribly sorry Ma'am, Cedric doesn't usually act like this. I hope you are unharmed. My name is Graham, of Daventry. [/color]
