[Voice]

[The first thing that can be heard is a strange sort of background noise. It may seem like static, but after a few moments it can be identified as squeaky hooting. As for Yuan? He doesn't sound amused.]

How the hell do you drive away pesky birds without killing them?

[Action]

[Anyone who happens to be out in the village can see Yuan striding by in a swift pace. He seems to be determinedly ignoring the existance of a tiny, greyish owlet that's zooming after him, chirping excitedly and trying to claw at his hair. Of course, because all villagers have the uncanny ability to understand what animals say, one will be able to hear the word "Blue" repeated over and over in that chatter.

If he can just make it home, perhaps he can slam the door in the creature's face and be rid of it for good.]

[And now he hears the hooting.]

Is the bird in question an owl, by any chance?

It is. Why?

I seem to recall reading that they have extremely sensitive hearing, so loud noises might work as well.

Just loud or high-pitched?

I suspect that either one would work, though you may have more success if you combine the two.

... I'll try putting the teakettle on the stove.

[That's really the best thing he can think of. Dog whistles probably don't exist in the Symphonia universe.]

Please let me know if that works out. If not, someone like Raine might know of some herbs that will drive it away.

Yeah, yeah. Fine.

[Meanwhile, the owlet is still chattering away happily, uttering all sorts of sounds that aren't words, not even when you're Filial. So irritating. It's starting to give Yuan a bit of a headache, which makes his expression even more sour when he finally says:]

... Thanks.

[He doesn't know Yuan all that well, but something tells him that the other man isn't the type to say thanks very often.]

You're welcome.
