[Leo is sitting in the library, on the floor despite the empty chairs beside him. He is perfectly engrossed in his book, apparently uncaring of the blackbird that's currently... attempting to make a nest in/with his hair.]

Shh, Elly-chan, stop it. This is a good scene.

- What an ill behaved bird.

Pie?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Isn't that annoying?

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little distracting.

[bird is currently knotting a twig into place]

Weird things cohabitating... with other... weird things...

LIFE'S CYCLES ARE TRULY MAGICAL!

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Why don't you make it go away?

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

I didn't get it from a pie, no. That's just silly.]

[absently holds up his wrist - the bird is tied to it.]

I can't untie it.

[knaveswitness.livejournal.com]

Ah, curses.

[he waves a hand- there's a string tied to it, but the bird is nowhere in sight. offscreen?]

Can't live with them...

[headtilt]

Where's yours?

[knaveswitness.livejournal.com]

[idly looks to the side- then just smiiiiles]

Appropriately muzzled.

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

I can't. This string won't come undone.

[shows his wrist to the screen, there's a band connected from it to one of the bird's legs]

Don't you have one? I saw others.

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

A... 'dashing tale of knights and sorcery and princesses'. Or so the blurb says.

It's not bad.

[his hair goes chirp chirp chirp]

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

Did you just call me a thing?

A weird thing?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

No. And I don't want them.

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

It's not like I was given a choice.

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

That sounds unpleasant for the bird.

[knaveswitness.livejournal.com]

I don't like squawking that isn't Emily's~

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Can't you just cut the string?

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

I did.

The scissors broke.

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Stupid deities.

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

[hrrrrrm]

What kind of bird did you end up with, Mister Break?

[booksmacking.livejournal.com]

Deities?

[heliolatrous.livejournal.com]

Those gods in charge here.

[knaveswitness.livejournal.com]

[Break hums a moment, before he tugs on the string until he can coax a...

Wow, that is a kakapo on screen.]
