It seemed the concept of bombing someone's house didn't include the possibility that the bomb-ee would likely die. Either this bird wasn't a human after all, or she was unhinged beyond measure, Avalon thought to himself. The thought did not make him feel any better.
Debby started digging for something in her tail bag, soon pulling out a small box she offered to Avalon. "Here, a little somethin' for y'all. Sorry for the scare again, didn't realize y'all were around. I oughta get back on my rounds now, ain't got time to dally."
Avalon took the small box, not daring to refuse. It was light, but the dread of what it might contain felt heavy on him. After Debby had flown away and his heart beat had calmed down, he carefully peeked inside to find... Mochi.
He carefully took a bite to find it was real, strawberry flavored too. Today had been quite a rollercoaster so far, he thought as he ate the rest. Perhaps he should just turn in the bounty and not dwell on it.
