Her head tilted as he wondered aloud what other surprises she had in store for him. Jane didn't know she had any surprises. In fact, she was pretty surprised with Oskar's continued surprise. She kept her peace, though, as they entered his backyard that opened to the forest on one side. The place was covered in his somewhat feathery human scent, though the grass was long enough to almost appear as a clearing on the edge of the forest, rather than someone's backyard.<br/><br/>Oskar winked at her, and she gaped her mouth open in a smile again. She wasn't sure he understood her expression, though, as he still looked uncertain. But he winked again, so she took that as a good sign. Her uncle used to wink to her a lot. It was like their private joke, often winking at her with a smile from behind her father at a secret they both shared. She missed him almost more than her father.<br/><br/>The sharp, nearby sound of a bird call was heard, and Jane swiveled her head around to make eye contact with the golden eagle perched on the rooftop. He was beautiful! For a bird, of course. His mottled feathers caught the mid-morning light as she watched him jump from the roof, becoming airborne with a few powerful flaps of his wings. Wow! What an amazing thing, to be able to fly. He was so lucky.<br/><br/>She watched him as he circled, staying within the border of the yard. On his cry from overhead, she reached out to him with her mind, linking to him easily.<i>:You're beautiful! That must be so much fun.:</i>
