Owl Friend can easily be found in their neck of the woods. Judging by the lack of glitter and paint on their feathery body, it doesn't look like Owl Friend is interested in getting dragged into the glittery chaos that seems to reign free in Beacon at the moment.

... and it looks like a very familiar, very obvious figure is hanging out next to the tree, seemingly in a deep chat with Owl Friend who is pecking at something they're holding in their feet. He's pointing at whatever it is and making gestures with his servos, apparently... instructing Owl Friend in doing something? Huh.

Day is the first to notice Soldat's approach and visibly reacts, standing up straight from where he was leaning against the tree as he sputters out in surprise, "Oh! Soldat! Wait! You're not supposed to be here so soon-!"

Owl Friend doesn't seem to mind. Not at all. Upon Day calling attention to Soldat's appearance, Owl Friend looks up at whatever they're holding and visibly brightens at the sight of their trusted friend.

Hello! Hello! Owl Friend enthusiastically hoots, flapping their wings. You're here! Hello!
