Mm, she had a good friend that looked very much like an owl, but was a dragon just a little younger than herself. Think the image stuck, so anything owl-like reminds her of them.

[Including, obviously, owls themselves. It was cute in a way, even if it was attached to a time he kept packed down. He and the dragon were the only ones here that held those memories after all, no reason to think much of them for himself.

A low hum.]

I don't think so- but then again given how she'd follow me, they could have been.
