Fly Me Away... ((Von and Aubry))

[mesmu]

"Treat person like," The bird huffs and calms down slightly, but not really because he can feel the tension from the other. Aubry must first calm so Von can.

[ode]

"Well don't be biting me anymore then," Aubrey said, trying once more to rub the little things head.

[mesmu]

And Nirvauna leans into the touch, "Love pretty birdy, love...?"

[ode]

Aubry just stared at the bird as it leaned into his touch. "You are a pretty enough thing, I suppose," he begrudgingly admitted.

[mesmu]

Von growls, "Name."

[ode]

"I am Aubry. You're Von," he said, feeling like an idiot introducing himself to a damned bird.

[mesmu]

"Au... Bry... Aubry?" The pink and gray bird tests. "Aubry? Aubry. Aubry! Aubry pretty birdy!"

[ode]

"I'm not a birdy... and I am most definitely not pretty," he said, moving to sit the bird back on it's perch.

[mesmu]

"Pretty no?" The bird sighs and turns away, looking for food. Because all of his shrieking has made him hungry. "Pretty birdy yes."

[ode]

"Whatever the stars that means," Aubrey muttered before moving to point to the food tray a few feet across the room. "You can fly, can't you?"

[mesmu]

Von spreads his clipped wings and glares at them. In a month maybe, but not too well today. But none the less he jumps and flaps, managing to glide a couple feet before landing on the floor, "Dammit!" He shrills and bites at his wings in frustration.

[ode]

"Don't do that. You'll hurt yourself," he said, picking the bird up with one hand moving his perch closer to his food. "We'll get you some walking vines or something. But don't jump again."

[mesmu]

And Von steps onto the perch, "Thank Aubry..." He then turns to his food and begins picking through it, throwing away the red ones and eating blue and green one.

[ode]

Aubry watched him a moment before asking, "How is it that you can talk?"

[mesmu]

"I learn... You learn," The bird says as he drops another red piece to the ground. "We learn, mom tell, Von say. Mom say no, Von stop." He looks to Aubry.

"I think you as pretty... You are not?"
