"I was exploring..." he replied. "I didn't hear, nor see any signs that anyone lived here." He had gone in without making a full sweep, but who would in a castle of this size? The town always said the royalty of the castle was long gone and the place was cursed, and he had assumed such things true. It wasn't as if he came here intent on riches!

The fresh air made him shiver, especially as the cage was opened. He was left sitting as a tiny bird on that palm and looked out at the path towards the forest and beyond. He fluttered his wings but didn't immediately take off. He hopped at the brush of electricity, ruffling his feathers.

"Very well... I will bring some of my tools as well. Perhaps something of what I make could please you," he said. He hopped to the edge of those fingers, buzzed little wings and then took off, speeding towards 'escape'. Within a few meters he went from a tiny hummingbird to a great horned owl to have greater wing span and endurance.
