IN THE DAYS UP TO THE 14TH.

[ owl friend is surprisingly pensive whenever they and soldat interact with one another. even the usual cup of coffee seems to not bring their mood back up - though, to be clear, it seems owl friend doesn't seem upset or scared. it appears owl friend is... distracted by something preoccupying their mind, whatever it is. attempts to bring it up will have owl friend fondly pecking soldat's head, chittering in a playful yet evasive manner.

(owl friend also seems to be missing a few feathers though it's not really supposed to be moulting season. (can bird spirits even moult...?) hm.)

another thing to note is daylight's behaviour. already a friendly guy who loves to hang out with soldat when the chance presents itself, day can easily be found trailing after soldat during the day if the chance presents itself. day is more than happy to fill the air with chatter - and questions. lots of questions he tries to coach in opinions and remarks but it doesn't take a genius to realise that day is trying to find out things about soldat like his hobbies and interests and so on.

if soldat confronts day about his behaviour, the big guy will at least have the decency to look embarrassed and explain he's just 'curious!' and say nothing after that. there is a 100% chance day will abscond at the first chance he gets. ]

[Well, that sure is weird. Soldat does not, in fact, put the robot-teen and owl spirit's behavior together. They're a smart cookie, but there's really nothing to connect those two sets of oddities. (Though they have noticed Daylight spending more time with the spirits than usual, Daylight has never been introduced to Owl Friend, and thus, this particular connection is not a thought that occurs. Soldat does have a few blind spots.)

They play along with Daylight's 20 questions with a kind of curious indulgence. Soldat's hobbies include teaching people things, cooking, origami, cleaning and practicing with their weapons, listening to music, and watching people. It's not at all hard to work out.

They are more concerned about Owl Friend, to be honest, since Daylight asking questions in a childlike and transparent manner is close to normal behavior and can have an explanation, but Owl Friend acting weird is new and a little worrisome. Owl Friend gets extra head-scritches during visits, just in case.]
