I’ll leave you with a picture taken by Kathy O on her cell phone. It shows Pigott & BST sitting side by side on a windowsill in the rain. Thanks Kathy!

So BST and Ms. Pigott are officially “a couple”?

Hi Margaret – I think right now they’re just sharing a building and each others company. They have not been seen bonding by any of the Watchers. We’ve seen Beauty with visiting Winter Tiercels that have been chased out once Archer returned. All we can do is watch and report what we see. There’s just no way to predict what will happen. 🙂
