He's lying on a gurney. Covered in birds. Not the best place to nap, apparently.
No, not the best place at all. The unkindness found their niche in roosting upon his still, prone form. Not a raven out of place. And Poe, being the smug leader of the group that he was, found his place hunkered down directly on Fritz’s chest. He intently stared at the man’s face with his beady little eyes.
“He’s not dead,” Aldous snapped at Poe. The moment he entered the infirmary, he saw the peculiar scene. And though he had to stop and question why any of this was happening, he saw that familiar look in the eldest raven’s eyes. “You don’t get to peck his eyeballs out. I’ll give you some from a cadaver I’m working on. Your treat if you behave. Now… get off of him! All of you!”
The ravens raucous protested in a fit of cawing and flapping wings. They refused to budge. Fritz was far too comfy. As such, they incurred the wrath of their owner, squawking and shrieking and cawing over the fit of angered cursing, the words obviously in German.
