[Open | Action] Birds!

[Choose a location] -- Attleton or Genessia City

Thanks to Amberdrake, Sanzo is a "reluctant" secondary caretaker of a flock of ten, rainbow colored birds. They're the size of finches and ramble in disjointed sentences. They know how to listen to others if commands are directed at them, but would one know that right off the bat? They love to imitate the speech of others and annoy interesting strangers. Sanzo might have as few as two and as many as ten while he's walking about, being bored.

One of the birds might just take an interest in some stanger and try to play with their hair...

((OOC Warning: Don't be aggressive towards the birds unless you're after a fight.))

Airy was walking with a plastic grocery bag slung over her elbow. Her free hand was rummaging through it looking for the tic-tacks that should be somewhere at the bottom of the bag. Her eyes flick between the path in front of her and the contents of her bag.

A sudden peak to her head from a small bird sends Airy stumbling. Her feet trip over each other and she flails to the ground. She looks up to see a bird tugging at her long chestnut hair.

"What?"

It wasn't her bird.

Really? Toppled by birds... These birds had a way of finding targets he least wanted to deal with. Not that he could think of anyone he didn't already know that he wanted to deal with. Even that was a short list.

Without a word he bent to grab her arm and try to haul her upright. The birds were happily hopping around their new plaything, laughing and spewing nonsense at each other.

Airy wasn't actually expecting any help up. She did find her tic-tacks in the process though so she's feeling pretty good about things.

"Ah, thank you." She looked up at the stranger and then over at the birds. "Are they yours?"

"My roommate's." Sanzo would be shot before he admitted the rainbow flock was as much his as Amberdrake's. He had to maintain some dignity when it came to taking care of tiny chatty birds. Said birds approached more carefully this time but were still determined to land on Airy and play with her hair.

"They're a damn nuisance, following me around."

Airy laughed and then pulled some bread from the grocery bag. "Can I feed them?" It was okay if they peaked at her hair but she figured they might want to eat something else.

"They're cute."

Food? Food! The birds' volume went up a notch in their excitement. They all watched the bread, interest in her hair and clothing stalled for the time being.

"If you want," Sanzo said nonchalantly. "They've been nagging me for something to eat for an hour."

It was like having an even less intelligent Goku around... That was the last time he forgot to bring food for them with him.

"You should probably feed them." She laughed as she broke up the pieces of bread and held it out in her hands for the birds to eat.

"For your friend anyway."

Airy lightly pets one on the head as it munches down on the bread. "I'm Airy by the way. What's your name?"

"They aren't starving," Sanzo replied bluntly. He knew well they got fed plenty. "They're needy gluttons, don't let them fool you."

There was a short pause, Sanzo had to consider the safest way to introduce himself here.

"Sanzo." Just his title would do for now.

Airy laughed. "It's nice to meet you Sanzo." She didn't know him and most likely wouldn't know his title either. Airy was very accepting of those around her.

"Isn't that true of most animals? I wanted a bird once. When my dad said I couldn't get a dog. I read that birds do a feast famine cycle of eating. Where they overeat and then starve themselves until they eat again." She looked up at him. "Also their bones are hollow. It's what makes them light enough to fly. I think it's neat."

"Most animals aren't worth the time." Especially monkeys. What a time to be dwelling on his friends.

"I don't know if these nuisances bother with that nonsense. They're spoiled." Sanzo wasn't about to admit he helped with that. Nope.

Airy continued to smile at him as the birds pecked the last of the bread from her palm. She decides to get out one more slice before ending her feeding-the-bird escapades.

"I don't think so. We all want someone who loves us right? Animals do and I think that's why we have companionship with them as much as we do people." She looked down at one of the birds. "Isn't that right?" Airy was most definitely talking to the bird.

"Spoiled like children?"

"I think it's neat!" said one of the birds, this one mostly cream in coloration. It then went back to picking at the bread. Delicious.

Sanzo wondered if he could outright flee from this conversation. There were many topics he really didn't want to touch on, especially not with a stranger.

"Eh. You could say that. It's like having kids around, they never shut up and won't leave me alone."

Airy smiled at the bird but otherwise didn't seem phased. She hasn't met a talking bird before but that didn't mean that they don't exist.

"Sounds like kids."

Her bright eyes look up at Sanzo with a clear sort of view. "Sorry if I'm bothering you. I'll let you and your friends go. Thank you for talking with me. It was a lot of fun meeting you." She hoped that they speak again.

"Yeah." Sanzo didn't have anything better to say, the master of tact that he was. The birds he didn't bother to speak to, they picked up on his intent to leave and took to the air to follow.

Airy smiled and waved, "I hope to see you again."
