It's a lovely creature--a bird unlike any she's seen, such that she'd be hard-pressed to put a name to it--and extraordinarily well behaved. But at the same time...well, what on earth is it doing here?

Evy, human and reasonably patient, is willing to look at the bird and ponder this. Her cat, rather a large beast as feline standards go, is not a bit human. He's also possessed of the belief that his thick, rusty black fur makes him both invincible and invisible; he saunters over to the bird and reaches up to bat at its dangling tail feathers.
