I'm so sorry...I kept losing my shit every time read it over to get a start... talks_to_nisse August 9 2010, 16:41:53 UTC

Sindre eyed the puffin over the top of his book. He swore it was staring back at him. And though getting into a staring contest with a bird was a bit silly, keeping an eye on it to make sure it didn't go anywhere damaging was perfectly acceptable ( ... )

Ahaha No Problem :) puffin_magic August 9 2010, 22:58:44 UTC

Valdi blinked, snapping his head up to look from Sindre to the small bird nested on the back of the couch. (Oh god, they really did have a real Puffin!)

Excitement subdued by guilt and confusion, Valdi turned his attention back to his brother. "I...don't know. I can move it into the bathroom if you want."

Well, this certainly wasn't the scolding he was expecting, but that did not convince the teen that he'd escaped it entirely. He knew Sindre would want to know when, where, why, how much and why he didn't tell him first.
Valdi wasn't sure anything he could say would be sufficient enough.

Thanks... talks_to_nisse August 11 2010, 05:39:09 UTC

"That might be the best for now," Sindre agreed. "At least until it knows where its toilet is." Sindre had cleaned up after enough birds when the Charleston transformed into a castle and their room lost, among other things, the glass panes on the windows. "Can you even train a bird to use one particular area to do its business ( ... )

"Well I didn't think it'd just turn up like that..." Valdi tentatively made his way across the room, manouvering his way around the furniture with arm outstretched towards their new guest.
The puffin cocked it's head and watched him with subtle interest, ruffling it's feathers uncomfortably as the Icelander approached.

"H-hey..." Valdi lowered himself to his knees, leaning forward to stroke the bird (which didn't seem too impressed by the idea) before stopping and edging back to his bag by the door. A quick search through its contents to retrieve a small plastic satchel, and he was back by the sofa again.
Please don't bite me

Ripping open the bag Valdi fished out one of the small sand-eels he'd picked up on the way home- the Puffin snapped it up in seconds.
"See. Just hungry."

He wondered how long he could avoid Sindre's questioning for.

pfft dude it's fine. talks_to_nisse August 14 2010, 07:59:16 UTC

Shruggin, Sindre responded, "Still. You should have looked into it before buying the puffin," then grimaced internally. That came out harsher than intended. "I can talk to the super tomorrow, if you want, and then we can go get...what we need to care for it," he added in what he hoped was a conciliatory tone. With any luck, Valdi knew what they needed to care for the bird. Sindre knew nothing about how to manage a pet bird ( ... )
