It smells like take away inside, and as Ruka gets closer to Buckbeak she will see that this is probably because the great beast is hungrily devouring most of the meat in the house. Even laying down with his wings folded he was large, about the size of a Quarterhorse, with the face, wings and claws of an eagle supersized to match. That meant one BIG beak.

It looks up as she draws near, making a soft but very deep qwork of...not alarm but acknowledgement. He sees you, Ruka.
