On Wednesday, Filbert wanted to compete to see who could catch a tiger butterfly first. But he framed it in a funny way: He wondered if the butterflies get ticklish if you touch their bellies, so he wanted to find out!
However his enthusiasm seemed to die out seconds later, when I handed over the tiger butterfly. He said he “guesses” he’ll take it. 🤔
He made no further mention of tickling it or making it laugh. He just gave me a regal carpet and went on with his life. I guess I’ll never know if they’re ticklish.
Speaking of butterflies, I saw an even bigger one yesterday: a birdwing butterfly. I had to cross the river and chase it down, but it was worth it. Nothing this big should be allowed to fly around freely without me snagging it. 😆
Filbert recently came down with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today. Get well soon, Filbert!
Octavian asked me to deliver a letter to Bones today, and he only gave me ten minutes to do it. That wasn’t a problem, though. Bones loved the letter, and Octavian thanked me for saving his hide.
And yet, my reward was just a beige box. I guess his hide isn’t worth much. 📦
Later on, I went to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night performance. He played K.K. Gumbo for me; it’s not one of my favorites, but it’s not bad either.
I posted my latest video episode the other day, so check out episode 66:
See you all next time!
