challenge #4: to paint the life - Polly
Warnings: Spoilers for 1-4
Characters: Polly, her caretaker
Word Count: 191
Truthfully, you could say that she was 'just a bird'. She was, after all. A bird, that is. If you wanted to leave things at face value, that would be enough.
But then you wouldn't really know Polly Yogi.
She was an excellent conversationalist, as her owner would happily tell you. They often chatted long into the night. They told each other all of their little secrets. True, most of Yanni's secrets were already by extension her secrets as well, but that didn't matter to the two of them.
And while it is important to have a lady you can talk to, you can't just ignore her beauty. And Polly was a beautiful young lady. Her plumage was handsome red. A delicate white streak adorned her headcrest and her wings and tail were accented by brilliant blues and yellows.
With a casual glance through any room she sat in, your eyes would naturally be drawn to her, for nothing could compare with her presence. Wherever she went, she brought vivid color and life.
And when they chatted at night, her silhouette was still bright in the darkness, the very image of elegance.
