Squiring & Servantry Squared Away are a Lost pigeon and squirrel duo subordinated to Queen Sootsleeves.<ref> - Excerpt from Wild Abandon 18.4</ref>

Personality

For all appearances, they are separate individuals intent on their common goal of fine service.<ref>“Sootsleeves’ group?” Avery asked.

Both nodded.

“Did she put you up to this?”

The squirrel nodded and the pigeon shook its head.  They exchanged glances, then both shook their heads.

“What’s this about, then?” Avery asked.

The squirrel snatched up a tissue from the box of tissues, jumped onto the chair, then down to the pigeon.  It mimed draping the pigeon with the tissue, while the pigeon preened.

“Like a squire or something?” Avery asked.

The pigeon nodded while the squirrel shook its head, gesturing wildly.  They exchanged looks, and then the squirrel put up its hand, fingers splayed, gripping its wrist.

“Hand… servants?” Avery asked.

Both nodded.

“Don’t think I need that, don’t want it.  And don’t just intrude on my space, okay?  That was awkward, at an awkward time.  Can you leave the same way you got in?”

They nodded, then headed off toward the stairwell. - Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.5</ref> They have been known to disagree with each other at times of course.

They've both taken a liking to mealworms, though Squire-l is more circumspect about their interest.

Relationships

Snowdrop

The Opossum companion seems to feel they were infringing on their turf.

Chloe

Will have to find a way to adjust to a Ghoul who also wants to clean.

Verona

Have reached a mutually beneficial relationship with her.

Description

They look like the pigeon and squirrel they are.

Abilities and Art

They are fully independent, if loyal, Lost and not Foundlings.<ref>“This is a founded location,” Mrs. Driscoll said.  “We’ll give the rundown after, but understand, these are Foundlings, not Lost, they’re citizens, they’re props that will become people.  I imagine a select few have.  Control how much you interact with them.”

“We’ve identified some rats and birds, they are Lost.”

“But subordinate,” Eliana Graubard said.  “Extensions of a greater being.  Who will show herself, I’m sure.” - Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.x</ref> Some of their native skills, besides the pseudo-immortality of the Lost, are seemingly human-level intelligence, easily handling of details, and the pigeons' ability to store things in their body.

These details rise to the level of almost clairvoyant knowledge of relevant details. Squire-l is able to find various clothing items easily and quickly.

Their physical abilities are completely dependent on their small animal bodies. As subordinates to Queen sootsleves they need to periodically renew their connection to her and her kingdom.<ref>“Squire-l and Page-on aren’t really servants, they’re like, help.  And I help them.  They’re with Sootsleeves.  They’re an extension of her, they have to regroup sometimes.  It’s a little celebration.” - Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.6</ref>

Chronology

Were presumably independent of Sootsleeves before coming under her employ, serving loyally for over two hundred years.

Had many duties before they were excised from their path with their queen and bound.

Modern Day

Were given leave by their queen.

When told to make themselves useful they choose an outfit for Avery Kelly but the girl, who doesn't even match her socks, rejected their work.<ref>“I think two of your servants stopped in.  We might need to talk about boundaries.”

“What did they do?” Sootsleeves asked.

“Picked out my clothes for the day.  Invasive and weird.”

Sootsleeves smiled.  “They’re bored.  I told them to find ways to make themselves useful.  You’re an ally of my kingdom.”

“They know a lot about how I dress, and what boots my mom wears, and how to get in.”

“It’s their thing. [...] Knowing details.  I haven’t been spying on you, don’t worry.”

“Okay…” Avery said, trailing off while she tried to think of what to say.  “Not inside my house, okay?”

“Alright.  I’ll put the word out.” - Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.5</ref>

Were at the extended The House on Half Street claim made by Verona where they dropped off their resumes and offered services.

Two Months Later

They've fallen into a good routine with Verona even getting specific nicknames.<ref> - Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.1</ref>
