Aisling, I made it so that Ying has a wooden owl companion, but not sure if the owls you made above can move like a living thing or just a stationary item. Now that Ying is exhausted from all the travel and whatnots, it might take her awhile to get to the cafe, presumably under the wooden owl's guidance as Ying is totally unfamiliar with the modern tech, not to mention she may take awhile to adjust in terms of language and modern culture. Maybe along the way, I might have her being implanted by some kind of chip so that she can speed up her learning of the current world.

Sorry that it was such a lengthy post from me, I got carried away haha~ xD
