RE: I Found a Bird - Charity - Jan 23 2019 Charity pounced on the food that their mother offered with vigour, holding it in place with her paws as she ripped at the skin with needle-like teeth that worked with practiced ease. She barely noticed Envy's warning, barely pausing long enough to let out an unabashed bleat of "okay, mamma!" before she set to work. She was very hungry, and she ate like she'd never seen food before, barely noticing the look that Envy was giving her as she did so. She remembered their words perhaps a little too late, after she'd already eaten her fill- but luckily, there was enough left that Nisha could comfortably fill her belly, too. Her ears shrinking back, she looked up at the weasel with a guilty expression as she put the greatest emphasis on nudging the banana over to the baby bird. "Here. It's your turn now," she said graciously. @Pride RE: I Found a Bird - Pride - Jan 23 2019
Pride remained oblivious to all that was unspoken. His concern lay with the injured crow--he saw Envy's glance, but couldn't quite decipher it. Tired, perhaps? Worn by having to care for a larger, growing, hungry child? It didn't strike him, either, that Charity was rather hungrier than they should have been. Instead he nodded a little to Envy, and set to inspecting Nisha closely. "Well, I can perhaps help, as can Envy--if they've the time," he added, with a glance at the exhausted weasel. "Though it may be best to find someone more familiar with fire. I'd suggest practicing it only with help, in case it backfires like this again. Fire tends to." It wasn't a magic that he was overly familiar with, other than the obvious--it was hot, and it burned. But he didn't summon fire, himself, except for a single spell to flash-melt things into blinding, searing plasma--which wasn't really the same as breathing fire, or setting oneself aflame. He'd still managed to blind himself with it once, though, and knew full well its dangers. He glanced to Charity, then to Envy--both seemed all right, if a little worse for wear, one with hunger and one with tiredness. He then looked around briefly, ensuring there was no danger approaching while they were all so absorbed in this. Seeing nothing, he looked back to Nisha. "Perhaps, as a bird, it might be best to be careful for awhile while you heal. Maybe you can learn to fly, and scout for Envy, hmm? Watch for danger, find them food, all that sort of thing? It's up to you, and up to Envy, really." It was gently-suggested, but in his mind he was thinking that many Gembound were happier with a role to fulfill. Maybe Nisha could prove helpful to Envy, or even the Seven, while finding her place in the world. If, of course, that was what she wanted; she was young, yet, and he did not know her all that well. @Nisha RE: I Found a Bird - Nisha - Jan 23 2019 NOTESNisha nodded and thanked both Envy and Charity for the banana. The pecked and took little nibbles of the pale food. The mush covering the tip of her little beak.
