"Okay... so we are going to make rice first," Felix said, looking around at the group. His tail swished behind him, brushing against the wooden floor. "Someone needs to get eggs from the chicken coop. The chickens are behind the cottage. They lay eggs every morning."
Drake immediately raised his hand, his massive wings rustling with excitement. "I'll go! I'm fast! I can fly there and back before anyone finishes counting to ten!"
Boo floated up from his spot near the ceiling, his silver eyes bright. "I want to go too! I'll scare the chickens! They'll lay eggs faster if they're scared!"
"No scaring the chickens," Felix said flatly.
"Gentle scaring?"
"No scaring at all."
Boo sighed dramatically. "Fine. I'll just... observe. From a distance. With my eyes. Not my ghostly presence."
"That's still scaring."
"Chickens can't see ghosts."
"Chickens can see everything."
