[Rotisserie - yes, that's the bird's name, and there is most definitely a story behind it - lets out a bit of an indignant KWEH at the extra weight, but doesn't buckle or balk. The trip to Aes's house isn't exactly pleasant, but it's quicker than either of them would have managed by foot. And all the while, Carbuncle hops along behind, having the time of its life bounding through the snow. Entirely too cute, really.
Aes's house turns out to be a rather simple affair; she built it herself, after all. The ceilings are high enough for a human to not bonk their head, but not by much. It's a good thing she doesn't use ceiling fans. All the furniture is sized for a Lalafell, which means it's just slightly smaller than Tatlyn will probably prefer... but at least she won't feel like she's sitting on a chair meant for giants.
Most importantly for the purposes of the narrative is a 'fireplace' that seems to be stuffed with red, glowing crystal clusters. They're giving off a pleasant heat that fills the house, but the pile of dull, gray crystals beside the fireplace will attest to the fact that it's taking some doing.]
Make yourself at home. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes; I left a pot of stew on before I went out.
