I’m just going to leave this here.\u00a0 Let you figure out what the Bobs have been up to.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The path to the Manor wasn\u2019t normally a trudge, but they took it together slowly and steadily, neither wanting to talk much, but both of them conscious of something dogging their footsteps.<\/p>\n

When they turned around, there was a Pelican, a pair of Storks, a Roseate Spoonbill, and a Tricolor Heron all trotting along behind them at a fair clip.<\/p>\n

They paused.<\/p>\n

All of them.<\/p>\n

Warrick looked at his Mate, who pursed his lips thoughtfully.<\/p>\n

The birds stared right back, doing a good job of seeming utterly innocent.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally?\u201d Nicolaus muttered at last.\u00a0 \u201cNow?\u201d<\/p>\n

His feathered friends would\u2019ve shrugged if they could, and the sight of it made Warrick chuckle softly.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay then,\u201d his Mate continued.\u00a0 \u201cBut just until the storm\u2019s gone.\u00a0 You can shelter in the pens by the pond, but don\u2019t you dare eat my fish!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Manor has turned into the Ark again,\u201d Warrick whispered, as they led their trail of new guests to the back of the house.<\/p>\n

A pair of mated swans joined them before they got there.<\/p>\n

And an Osprey took up residence in the Meridius Tree.<\/p>\n

Nicolaus snorted.\u00a0 \u201cWouldn\u2019t have it any other way.\u201d<\/p>\n

That it took slightly more than 20 minutes to get through into the Security Room once the birds were settled – given that neither Vampire wanted to be distracted by the throng of human beings who\u2019d taken shelter in the Ballroom – was further hampered by a gaggle of geese and a brace of ducks on the front lawn.<\/p>\n

Warrick joked that they were hoping for directions, and Nicolaus pointed them round to the barn.<\/p>\n

That they all promptly went where he said, was not as shocking to the Pirate Captain of the\u00a0Red Stallion<\/em>, as it likely would\u2019ve been to anybody else who saw it.<\/p>\n
