TWO ☰ VIDEO;

[ The video feed starts aimed not at Stocking but at a gorgeous exotic bird perching on a stand, preening itself. Despite that it seems a little lackluster, as though its feathers could be a little more vibrant and its movements a little more energetic. Then the angel girl takes her seat in front of the console again, her lips pursing briefly in thought before she addresses the screen. ]

Has anyone had one of these before? I ran out of the floating fruit from where we were before and it won't eat anything else I've bought it.

[ Squint. What the heck kind of bird is that? ]

You might be out of luck with the rationing going back into effect.

[ beats her... it followed her home ]

It's not the amount of food, it won't eat anything.

... fuck, I hope I didn't get a retarded bird.

Don't think it's retarded, but it does sound picky. If it's a local bird, why not let it fly around for some food?

[ He knows a thing or two about hungry creatures finding exactly what they want to eat. ]

Because it might not come back.

[ And Stocking is stupidly possessive. ]

[ Well, that might be a problem. ]

What if you take some time to follow him around, then? I mean, bird's gotta stretch his wings anyway, right?

[ It will be, she just doesn't know it yet. ]

I'm not keeping him in a cage, isn't that good enough?

[ To be fair, most of her "pets" are stuffed. ]

It's a start, but y'know the suites we've got here are pretty much like bigger cages. Best thing for him'd be letting him roam.

But maybe the kedan know something about wing-clipping or training?

[HE STILL DISLIKES THE GIRL A LOT. But. The bird is not at fault.]

What do you know about the fruit that it did eat? I can attempt to find what here will come close to it.

Taste, chemical composition, information about the place where that floating fruit grew in the first place. Anything might be of help.

How should I know that shit? It was eating the floating fruit so I grabbed a bunch of it, and now it's all gone.

Well. That is... responsible.

You didn't try any of it? There are no seeds or peel or anything left, from the bird's meals?

Pft, of course not. If it's not decadent and sweet, I don't put it in my body.

>Tt.< How do you know it is not decadent and sweet if you have not tried it?

Because I am the ultimate expert on sweets, that's why.

Going to ask the obvious question, but have you tried other kinds of fruit?

Edited 2013-05-11 02:35 (UTC)

Obviously I did. I don't necessarily want the thing to die, you know.

[ though it's a little worrisome she throws the "necessarily" in there... ]

[considering the people Zel hangs around with]

You never know with some people.

Some of the wealthier kedan keep birds; you might try asking them what you caught and how to feed it.
