The whole court, in all their finery, immediately jumped up and tried to capture the poor bird. One of my favourite images from that day was seeing Larissa climb up onto the throne and try to capture the bird with her veil. The dove spent the rest of the evening in the rafters of the revel hall and managed to poop on several people, including Avery. The bird was eventually captured by Amadea de Dragonessa Strada, if I am not mistaken, who being an animal lover, went out and bought bird seed, waiting for the bird to become hungry and fly down to the food. She was given the birds to keep.
