Dear Simon,

Dear Simon,

I saw your recent reply to a question about Bobby Fulbright, and you said you live with him.

do you enjoy each other's company?

Dear Reader,

Yes, we do. He is an honest, decent person in a world that rewards neither. He has grown since I met him first as well, and is a fine man to spend time with. I am grateful to have met him.

As for why he enjoys spending time with me, I am uncertain. He has several stated reasons, but I would expect I was aggravating enough to deter him. Still, I am perhaps less difficult then when I was incarcerated, and he claimed to enjoy my company then as well. A mystery, that as I was truly trying to be unlikable at that time. Another virtue of his, or mere foolishness, I cannot say.

He is also a...comforting presence. He claims I am as well. Perhaps the bonds of trauma will tie us together indefinitely. I rather think so.

A blessing. Rare though they are.

Did you ever meet the real Bobby Fulbright?

Apologies for the lengthy delay in responding, reader. I was unsure how much to say before consulting with the man himself.

Yes. I had known Fulbright for a few months before the Phantom caught him, and reconnected after the man was rescued. He is now one of my housemates.

The man suffered a great deal, apparently being kept as a source of information, questioned repeatedly on a number of topics. He is doing much better now.

Prosecutor Blackquill, what are your thoughts on the justice system?

Ah! An ask!

Hm. This won't do....I'm Detective Fulbright, not Prosecutor Blackquill....ah well, I'll answer it anyway!

The Justice System is a wonderful thing! Beautiful, and complex, and.....admittedly not flawless...But! I believe it can be changed for the better! The Prosecutor was exonerated, and change is in the wind!

Has Prosecutor Blackquill ever asked you to watch over Taka? Seems like a frightening task, with how that bird behaves in court!

~Anonymous

Occasionally! She mostly cares for herself, though. He did ask me to check on her a few times while he was in prison, make sure she was eating, but these days hardly ever. And it is! She has very sharp claws, and has scratched me several times. I like to think she's warming up to me, especially knowing that those were affectionate bites that one time....still, that's only happened once, and it didn't feel all that affectionate...

Hi Simon!

I wanted to ask, how's Taka doing? I've always been curious about that bird of yours, and it seems very interesting, I'd love to hear more about it!

~Sincerely,

That Ace.

That Ace,

Taka is well, thank you. Since you are curious, I suppose I could tell you a spell about her. She is a Eurasian Sparrowhawk, and Primarily feasts upon birds, but small rodents will also do.

I say she, which I have determined based on her size and plumage, but she has never laid eggs so I may be mistaken. if accurate, then she is slightly smaller then average, but also faster.

She is deeply intelligent, and has always found her way back to me. I feared when I got her that she would leave once she could hunt for herself, but as often as she leaves, she always comes back.

I allow her free range of everywhere I go, the only exception is if she requires medical attention, which is blessedly rare. She does not care for the anklets, jesses, and hoods typically involved in falconry, so I defer to her preference when possible. This also means should I displease her, she can go. I do not truly think of her as my bird, but as my companion, staying only so long as she is willing.

Perhaps sometime I will tell you how she came to be so.

Blackquill might fight you if he sees you’ve posted on his blog. Anyways, thoughts on baby vultures?

Oh-do you think so? I hope not.....still! It's not Just to leave his readers hanging like this! They expect him to post! He committed to!

Still.....I hope he's not too angry....ohh...

Hm? Oh, Right, Vultures...they seem so... ominous.....are baby vultures as scary looking? Does anyone know?
