I'll WRECK THIS IF I HAVE TO // O, PAINT WAR

[august basil]

august was still trying to get situated in the observatory, walking the winding road from the main area to his room back and forth, just to embed it into his mind. needless to say, nadir wasn't very happy with this constant pacing, and had opted to take a seat on august's back, tucking his beak under one of his wings. august had just arrived back to the main room and was preparing to turn right around to head back along the twisting path - he hadn't quite got it right yet - when he heard the call of an unfamiliar male, announcing that he was holding a paint war outside. august's ears pricked up in interest, his eyes sparking eagerly. that's something i could do, he thought, lips spreading into a grin. he hurried after suiteheart, who was following after the person who'd announced the paint war (from what she said, august had to assume that the guy's name was roy).

nadir had been woken up when august loudly exclaimed, "i'm in," practically quivering with excitement. pelting people with paint-filled balloons maybe wasn't number one on august's list of 'favourite things to do', but it was something that appealed to the trickster. nadir cocked his head, letting out a small caw of agreement. well, at least it seemed like that. nadir wasn't flying off - in fact, he seemed quite content on august's back, despite being just jostled around while august had run after suiteheart and roy - so august assumed that the crow was in for the long run.
