Important work needs hands it SEEMS
It turns out to become a guard you need to fill out an application. Me and Awk, though blessed with a multitude of skills, do not know this whole 'writing' business so we went to on of the handy writer-humans.
Kak: *attacks one of the few windows at the House of History with Awk until they open it and they fly in to find Yaban while scribes yell*
Yaban: augh!
Awk: YOU! Your lords require your hands
Kak: *lands on his head and whacks him with a rolled up piece of paper in his beak* fill this out!
Yaban: get off me!
Kak: *hops onto the desk and glares up, holding the paper*
Awk: *begins pulling at Yaban's collar*
Yaban: fine! Fine! *takes the paper and lays it out* ...I don't WANT to join the guards
Kak: Not you! Us!
Yaban: but you're...
Kak: is this about our height? *menace fluff*
Awk: Is he calling us short?
Yaban: ...uhhh
Kak: *ANGER FLUFF*
Awk: is it because of our FEATHERS?
Yaban: I mostly mean you're a pair of criminals
Kak: oh *deflates*
Awk: Are you being SPECI...Oh that.
Kak: we've given that up
Awk: This is why we'll be good at it. We know how WE think
Kak: new leaf. No cage
Awk: Giving back what others steal
Yaban: oh. Okay. And if you don't get in, this isn't my fault. Just saying. *ignoring th other scribes looking at him* Where is your friend's paper?
Kak: we're applying together!
Yaban: oh. I see
Yaban: *smoothes the paper down and takes up his pen* Name?
Kak: Kak and Awk!
Yaban: *writes it down*
Yaban: job experience?
Kak: *looks at Awk* ...king and queen of ravens?
Yaban: sure, why not. I bet that's something they're looking for
Kak: and we eat carrion for the zoo
Yaban: *green and writes that down*
Yaban: reason for joining the guard?
Awk: mmmm let's see... *thoughtfully chewing Yaban's sleeve now* We want to change. We want to be better citizens and to help others like us
Yaban: other ravens?
Kak: of course
Yaban: *leaves the ravens part out as he fills it in*
Kak: and because Nuala is joining too
Yaban: Well, I hope she doesn't come through the window too
Kak: *pecks him for making a REMARK about Nuala*
Yaban: my hand!
Awk: Well, Kak it might be uncomfortable for her to come through THIS window. I assume it is fine if she comes through the DOOR? *you'd BETTER say yes*
Yaban: ...yes, that would be fine
Yaban: *rubbing his hand and glaring at Kak*
Kak: *doesn't get facial expressions so much, so that's okay*
Yaban: sex?
Kak: Male!
Yaban: oh, so you're not the queen
Kak: Awk is the queen! Put down male for him as well
Yaban: what?
Kak: do it!
Yaban: fine! *writes down male and male*
Yaban: last one - please stop eating my sleeve - have you previously had trouble with the guards?
Kak: *hesitates* ...we were not charged?
Yaban: Don't give up the carrion job *writes it down*
Kak: *peck!*
Yaban: stop!
Awk: We have been training some of them! It was HELPFUL. *firm nod*
Yaban: I'll add 'guard training'
Kak: so it's full?
Yaban: yes. *folds it up tidily and smaller than Kak had it* *hands it back* for delivery
Awk: You are a good human
Kak: thank you, human. You will not be searched for criminal activities when we are guards
Kak: let us go, lord queen Awk!
Awk: We shall be the best guards EVER
Kak: *flies off with Awk*
Grima: You spend time with vermin now?
Yaban: no, you and I are still not friends
Grima: *sour look and turns back to his work*
Kak: *attacks one of the few windows at the House of History with Awk until they open it and they fly in to find Yaban while scribes yell*
Yaban: augh!
Awk: YOU! Your lords require your hands
