C is for Coach, and I've lost my flight wings.

Yesterday I was called to a clothing shop to rescue the people there from a vespedelia vulturns - little forest bat.

At first I was hoping it was Ace, but unlike the Discworld million-to-one chances don't happen 9 times out of 10. They are million-to one, and this one wasn't the one.

It was a female, however, which is good because they're a little more tolerant of other bats than the males are.

Technically, I should release her tonight since there's nothing wrong with her at all. But Bek needs a coach to teach her what those flappy things on her arms are for, and how to use them to catch food.

Coach came along just in time; I didn't feel like wearing a cape and leaping from the roof. I'll put her in the flight cage as soon as I mend the hole Ace escaped through.

I have been demoted to food server again. I don't mind.

perfect timing for a C-name too! Coach!

It took me an hour to make the connection. "What's a name starting with C? Are there any names of coaches starting with C? Hmm..."

*giggles* I love that mental image. Thank you for the laugh...I so needed it today.

demotions and such

Well, you could always call her Coach Dracula......in honor of your having escaped the cape:D. Sounds like the perfect role model to me.Here's hoping BEK takes a hint, and she doesn't run into too many things learning the meanings of "landing Gear", "flight pattern", turbulence, and dodging the inevitable:D.

What I don't want Bek to learn is "bite fingers." I can do without that.
