His wings hang and blow freely in the wind, while his body is perfectly balanced on the branch.
However, Nix's voice causes a stir, and that balance is very nearly lost. https://t.co/3O9sYL1oyg
@DeviIishBastard He gave up pretty quickly at that game. Instead, his hand darted out to grab Sam’s wrist and then proceeded to lick his fingers rather than bite them.
His human nose didn’t work as well as his birdie nose, but he’d quickly realized taste was a good substitute.
@DeviIishBastard Nix didn’t seem to notice. He was pretty much always happy, even when upset it didn’t take much to make him happy again.
Tries to nip at his fingers, playful rather than annoyed now.
@DeviIishBastard “I don’t like it.”
Grumbles and leans up to nip Sam’s chin. He’s annoyed that Sam didn’t have a better answer, he hates not understanding.
@DeviIishBastard Huffs and tries to pretend he’s still annoyed, but the pets are too nice so he settles back down. He’s squirmier now, though.
“Why did that make me laugh?”
@DeviIishBastard Whines, pouting at Sam. His eyes were wet, though now that he could catch his breath he was fine. Mostly just embarrassed.
“Mean. Mean, mean, mean.”
@DeviIishBastard “Sam—!”
He couldn’t stop laughing, panic in his eyes. Little bird had never been tickled before and it was a little scary, being out of control of his reaction to it.
@DeviIishBastard Hisses softly, a scratchy sort of sound. He doesn’t take threats well. Fight or flight instinct at its best. Still a soft little bean though, tucked into Sam’s side.
“I won’t. S’a secret?”
@DeviIishBastard Immediately began purring, arching into his touch. He likes compliments. His purr was different than Sam’s growl-purr, resembling a clicking sound and closer to a cat’s purr.
“I am cute?”
@DeviIishBastard Grins at him before nuzzling closer, cooing. He liked Sam, he didn’t get frustrated with Nix when he didn’t know something.
“You’re nice. Nicer than most.”
