Trust- Atropa

Smol Atropa and her friend Beal :3

Beal was just going about his morning business when he saw something moving out the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw what appeared to be a tiny white fluff ball stumbling across his yard. He ran out to investigate and saw it was a stryx chick, which hissed at him as he approached. Amused by the tiny creature's attitude he crouched down beside it, it hadn't snowed for a few days and the warmer weather had caused what remained to hardened as it melted and re froze. It glared at him but shuffled a little closer, seeking warmth. Beal shivered, irregardless of the lack of snow, it was still too cold for a chick of this age to be all alone. He stood up as slowly as he could but still sent the chick scrambling away with an angry hiss. It stopped a few feet away and glared back at him but didn't seem to be going anywhere. Beal decided to run back to his house for a blanket to catch it in.
When he returned the chick was huddled in a ball, the cold was getting to it, but it still gave an unimpressed squawk as he carried it back home.

Whelp, that wasn't supposed to happen, but here, have some backstoryXD
Why, asks no one, is a baby stryx wandering around alone in winter? Well, I say, I'm not telling >u<_{there is a legitimate reason though}
