Faras snorted at her comments. "Well, hopefully he'll grow out of that stage. Though I have the feeling that she'll get worse when she gets bigger..."
((xD Aar, gonnat eat and watch a movie and I'll be back <3))

"Oh, dear." Minna looks up to Al-Hadiye, eyes softening. "So you like the mischief, dear, huh?"

Al-hadiye fluttered into the air, looping around both of their heads, emmitting a sound that sounded oddly like giggling.

Minna had to smile, watching the switch absently...it's probably pretty obvious, though, that the serious wistfulness under the expression was seeing her own missing switch in Al-Hadiye's place.
"Ah...here we are." Minna had pre-emptively gotten her backpack in front of her and has her wallet ready, and paid the ticket-lady for all their admissions. She smiled a little at Faras. "You're helping me, if I recall. It wouldn't be fair for you to have to pay for it, too." She looked around. "Well. Shall we?"

Al-Hadiye hovered in the air for a minute, the jewel flashing colors of conflicting emotions. It, however, cleared up and settled back to blue as she zoomed forwards to catch up to the two. However, instead of settling on Faras' head, she landed on Minna's, having decided that she'd be a more obliging perch.
Faras raised an eyebrow at Diye's actions, but said nothing of it. "Why, thank you!" He said, grinning. "Now, where to first? I haven't been here i nyears.." he said, the last comment seeming to be directed at no one in particular.

Minna reaches up and itches Al-Hadiye's wing in a way that both the topaz and star switches like quite a lot, without really thinking.
"Well...Zaagade seemed extremely interested in the falcons last time we were here. Nearly sent them all into cardiac arrest, too, but that's another story." She almost snickers at the memory. "That may be a good place to start."

Diye rolled around happily at the scratching, leaning into her fingers happily.
Faras grinned and shrugged a shoulder as he started walking down the path. "Well, it seems that the switches have a secret mission to drive the world crazy, doesn't it?"

Minna snickered. "Secret? Yours keeps it secret?"
Her eyes were hopeful when they reached the raptor enclosures...a quick look around and then a second, more thorough search yielded nothing, though. She frowned a little, disappointed, but wasn't totally disheartened...there was something at least a bit uplifting about someone else helping her search. "Well, darn...I don't see him here, I'm afraid. Do either of you?"
At this point, one of the falcons caught sight of Al-Hadiye. It screeched and flapped wildly, throwing all of the others into a mass panic.
"Oh, dear...they seem to remember Zaagade. Ehm...shall we go?"

Faras halted for a minute, thinking before responding. "Well, no..." His gaze transferred to the falcons as they began their noisy riot, and winced slightly. "No, I'm afraid I don't..."
Al-Hadiye perked up at the sound of the falcons, and slowly flew over to them, pressing herself against the cage as she examined them. She flitted over to the information plaque that was in front of the enclosure and hovered above it, as if reading it.
Gyrfalcon - Falco rusticolus
Range
Formerly known in parts of the United Kingdom as jer-falcon, gerfalcon, Greenland falcon and Iceland Falcon this most northerly of all the falcons, the Gyrfalcon lives in arctic Europe, Asia, North America, Greenland and Iceland. Some migrate.....

The falcons fluttered uneasily at Al-Hadiye's presence, but at least she didn't seem to be making any loud noises.
"Hmm..." Minna pondered once they were outside again. "Well, the other two creatures that caught Zaagade's attention the most were a deer and a cougar."

Al-Hadiye slowly flapper her way back to Faras, landing in his oustretched hand. "Well, three animals you wouldn't normally associate with eachother..." he observed, walking past the other bird exhibits.

"Really, that's quite true," Minna noted after a moment's thought. "But think about the way they move...all depend on the air to some extent, and all are quite sweeping, graceful creatures."
She looked into the deer exhibit, scanning with her eyes and ignoring the children feeding the deer zoo-bought pellets. "Erg...no Zaagade. I hope he's just not at the zoo, because I shudder to think of the third possible place."

Faras nodded in agreement at her comment, seemingly lost in his thoughts as he watched a solitary deer bound across the enclosure. "Hmm?" he said rather distractedly in response to her last sentance.
Al-Hadiye, noticably more energetic buzzed around the deer and the childrens heads, occasionally bouncing off of one.
