@VileLoki “Bird! Bird first.”
Hence the love of mealy worms and severe hatred for canines.
“She saved me”, he explained. “I.. I was trying to eat some seed in a field, and she saved me from the farmer and his dog. The beast would have eaten me if Mistress hadn’t been there.”
@SlaveJanos He tilted his head a little, wondering if this might work..
“I… could be your wings?”, he offered.
It would have to be whenever Mistress changed him back into his natural form, but he’d be happy to look for János’ master when on the wing…
@VileLoki “Thank you!”
That being said, he quickly stuffed the mealy worms in his mouth before anyone else got to them.
“Mm-.. Maleficent!”, he mumbled through a mouthful of worm.
“She’s a fae? Fairy? Fae? Queen of the moors, or she was..”
@VileLoki “Only when mistress wants”, he replied.
Dark eyes flicked back to the plate, and he pointed to its contents.
“Might I still have that mealy worm?”
@VileLoki “Why now?! Why now, hmm?! Always when I’m eating! Every time!”, he mumbled to himself as he brushed the dust from his shirt.
The sound of his name caught his attention.
“Oh! Yes. Hello.”
@SlaveJanos Diaval thought for a moment and shrugged.
“I suppose I’ve grown used to it, and her. I.. I do, but, if there is anything you need - anything at all - as I said, I’m at your service.”
@SlaveJanos “Mistress? Oh..”
Now, how to put this?
“I.. I suppose she is.. apart from when she decided to turn me into a mealy worm when she’s in a horrid mood. Why?”
@SlaveJanos Diaval’s eyes widened at the sight. He’d never seen anything quite like this! Wooden bones, canvas skin? Was it canvas?
It looked very much like it would work, as far as he could tell.
“You made this?”
@SlaveJanos “Oh, please? Please, may I see?”
Why was he so excited about the prospect of artificial wings?! Perhaps it was that he might then fly whenever he wanted to.
