Julien had friends in the area who'd told him someone who looked exactly like what he did now had been seen around the castle, being... well, birdlike. Preening, pecking things up, not speaking. He flew over the castle's grounds without finding anything conclusive and reluctantly landed.

Bracing himself, he walked around semi-upright, a pigeon the size of a small horse, until he found someone to talk to. "Excuse me."
