So at the moment it appeared that things were functioning as normal; well everything except the odd lack of mice. Thoughts rattled inside Dodo's skull as she noted the sites and the current situation of all of them. None of the fires appeared to be occurring on the island itself; that was nice. Although a good fire did smoke out various prey animals and caused them to flee into the open for hunting. But depending on the direction of the wind alongside where the blaze started there was always the risk that it would get to the nest. But a nest could always be rebuilt, though of course it tended to be a bit of a bother. 

Dodo blinked as a new thought popped into place. Quickly Dodo extended both wings then twisted her head to look at both of them. Stretching out her neck Dodo made a quick series of motions as she used her horn to preen at her wings. The process began with her right wing to get at the anterior feathers. She then moved onto the left wing preened some more with her horn. Dodo retracted her wings back towards her body as she did a small bit more preening with her mouth. 

With this bit of cleaning finished Dodo returned her attention back to the view. Her eyes traced back to the furthest view on the horizon. As she looked at that 'shining city on a hill' Dodo held her mouth open. There were no vocalizations uttered from her hanging jaw; her eyes remained focused on the glow. She was entranced as if she could feel the glow.

While such a sight did hold her attention for awhile it would not be enough to keep her complete focus. She returned to looking down at the environment below. Despite the fact that it was currently in a sleepy state as the hustle and bustle was worn off, Dodo did in fact spot Thames looking around the building. Perhaps he was also looking for mice to hunt.

Dodo swooped down past the large window of the orphanage as she flew down towards Thames. Her wings continued to flap as she positioned herself in front of the boy. Finally the bird-creature decided to land properly as she kept a keen eye positioned on Thames. This stare went on for a few seconds too long before she tilted her head to look down at the base of the orphanage. 

[color=fff79a]"Ppprrrruuuuu?"[/color] chirped up Dodo, presumably talking to Thames, although her attention seemed entirely focused on the outside walls of the building.
