EnsTren: *it hatches...and thinks Seth is it's momma*
Edmondia: Seth: *sweatdrops*
Edmondia: Seth has a baby birdie~
Edmondia: he's put it in the orchard
EnsTren: it's followed him back
Edmondia: he's put it back again
EnsTren: it's following him
Edmondia: "Hikari! The goose is stalking meeeeeeeeeeeee!"
EnsTren: "It thinks you are its mommy. I think it's
cute."
Edmondia: "Make it stop stalking me!"
EnsTren: "It's not stalking you."
Edmondia: "Yes it is!"
EnsTren: "It thinks you are its mommy."
Edmondia: "I am not its mommy!"
EnsTren: "It thinks you are."
EnsTren: "I think it's adorable."
Edmondia: He pointed to the baby goose on his head. "I
think it's ruining my hair."
EnsTren: Hikari was delighted by it. "I love it."
Edmondia: "I don't. Cute animals and I don't mix."
EnsTren: "Yes you do!"
Edmondia: "You're right. I could sacrifice it to a god."
EnsTren: "NO!"
EnsTren: Seto rescued the bird, thankfully she looked
and smelled exactly like it's mommy to the gosling so that it
didn't complain.
Edmondia: "What?"
EnsTren: Seto ignored him and pet the darling thing
while walking away. There was a feeding kit in the box
that the egg had come in. (And it was quite a bit of
magic that managed to get the egg safely and to hatch
when the box was opened.)
Edmondia: He trailed after her. "I bet I could use its entrails
to tell the future!"
EnsTren: Hikari sat down, read the instructions and
used the eyedropper.
Edmondia: "I wouldn't even have to burn it!"
EnsTren: Hikari was tense, she should be careful because
she might shatter her teeth!
Edmondia: "Uh, hikari?"
EnsTren: Hikari fed the bird.
Edmondia: He tapped her on the shoulder.
EnsTren: Hikari slapped his hand away. "Don't touch
me!"
Edmondia: He clutched his hand to his chest, looking
wounded. "Why?"
EnsTren: "You want to kill it!"
EnsTren: "It just thinks you're its mommy, that's no
reason to kill it!"
Edmondia: He blinked at her, puzzled. "But that way it would
have a use..."
EnsTren: Hikari showed her teeth and growled at him in
a not good way.
Edmondia: He squeaked and backed up a few paces, holding
his hands up placatingly.
EnsTren: Seto sniffed, nose shifting slightly up into the
air, and she picked up the box and left. The bird started peeping because mommy had stopped feeding it.
Edmondia: Seth stared after her, confused.
EnsTren: He eventually found his hikari in another room
feeding the gosling.
Edmondia: "Baby?"
EnsTren: Pouty in a bad way hikari reading a pamphlet.
Edmondia: "Hikari, are you mad at me?"
EnsTren: "Yes."
Edmondia: "Why?"
EnsTren: "You want to kill the gosling and mutilate the
corpse."
Edmondia: He blinked at her. "What?"
Edmondia: "Baby, I'm just thinking of the ways we could use
it..."
EnsTren: "I like it alive."
Edmondia: He gave the fuzzy little thing a glare. "Fine."
EnsTren: She smiled.
Edmondia: He took a step closer to her.
Edmondia: "Hikari?"
EnsTren: "Yes?" She was feeding the bird.
Edmondia: "Are you still mad?"
EnsTren: "You're not going to harm it?"
Edmondia: "I'm not going to harm it."
Edmondia: "I promise."
EnsTren: "Thank you."
Edmondia: "Anything for you."
EnsTren: "Thank you, now come here and be a
mommy to your bird."
Edmondia: He sat next to her and stared at it.
EnsTren: It cheeped at him.
Edmondia: He cautiously gave it a pat.
EnsTren: It rubbed its head against his finger and lightly
bit him.
Edmondia: "...it's a stalker vampire goose."
Edmondia: He tried to wriggle his finger free.
EnsTren: It let go.
EnsTren: "No it's not."
Edmondia: "It just ate a hunk of my finger."
EnsTren: "Your finger is whole."
Edmondia: "Gnawed upon, then."
EnsTren: "Heh."
Edmondia: He leaned over and nipped at her ear. See how
you like it.
EnsTren: I like.
Edmondia: Yeah, well, imagine it was the bird and not me.
EnsTren: She snorted and pet the bird.
Edmondia: Why do you like the cute fuzzy thing so much?
EnsTren: Because it's cute and fuzzy and innocent.
Edmondia: I didn't know you liked cute and fuzzy and
innocent things. I thought you liked dragons.
EnsTren: I like those too.
Edmondia: I've just never seen you as the cute and fuzzy type,
I guess. Should I start getting you stuffed animals along with
chocolate?
EnsTren: No.
Edmondia: But you like that cute and fuzzy thing.
EnsTren: That being the key word.
Edmondia: Ah. He poked at it. It'll have to live in the
orchard when it gets bigger.
EnsTren: Okay.
Edmondia: You're a sweetie. He kissed her cheek.
EnsTren: Thank you.
Edmondia: ?
EnsTren: For being a sweetie.
Edmondia: Huh? Me?
EnsTren: Yeah.
EnsTren: And the gosling.
EnsTren: "Sweetie," she pat its head, "Your name is
Sweetie."
Edmondia: ...
Edmondia: You really ARE a girl.
EnsTren: She punched like a guy.
Edmondia: He clutched his middle and wheezed out, "All I'm
saying is that doesn't 'Wicked Vampire Lord of the Fifth Circle'
have a nice ring to it?"
EnsTren: "Sweetie, wicked vampire lord of the fifth
circle."
Edmondia: He snickered. "Cool."
EnsTren: You really ARE a boy.
Edmondia: "Just because I'm a priest doesn't mean that
underneath the stoicism and religion there's no hormone-crazed,
explosion-loving, pizza devourer beneath."
EnsTren: "...Boy."
Edmondia: He tweaked her nose. "Girl."
Edmondia: "Honestly, what did you think I was?"
EnsTren: "My Voice activated, responding vibrator."
Edmondia: "That too," he agreed readily, curling a lock of her
hair around his fingertips, "Runs on pizza and hamburgers
instead of batteries."
EnsTren: "Also partially solar powered."
Edmondia: "Hm?"
EnsTren: "Sunsunsun."
Edmondia: "I'm so not following you."
EnsTren: "You like the sun."
Edmondia: "Yes?"
EnsTren: "Solar powered vibrator!"
Edmondia: He laughed. "Should we play outside more
often?"
EnsTren: "Solar Energized Throbbing Hotness!"
Edmondia: He sweatdropped. "Is that the name of our new
porno?"
