“Told you I’d find you one…”
Barnabe just smirked as he handed the other Spy a small box. Inside, was a rather ugly chick, peering up at the two.
“It was hard to do…. But I managed to convince a zoo to hand over one of their Bearded buzzard chicks. They’re going to want to breed him with a female when he’s old enough, but he’s yours…”

Astor just stared at the box with the little ball of fluff that was inside it, a grin slowly spread across his face as he removed one of his gloves with his teeth. The spy would reach down and gently stroke the small chick.
“Hmm zhese zhings vill take a vhile to gain full maturity. Don’t mind zhis at all” Finally picking up the chick carefully he just observed it at all angles, the small buzzard chick staring intently at Edel who was staring right on back. Astor would notice this and use his other hand to stroke the Kestrel.
“Hmhm remarkable little zhing don’t you zhink Edel?” He asked the bird perched on his shoulders which only returned his question with a click of her beak. He would place the chick back in the box and looked at Barnabe.
Walking up to him, he gave him a kiss on the lips. “Zhank you”
