6th Feather - Kittens Are Scarier Than You Think [Backdated to This Afternoon]

[12winged_dealer]

[Well, this was not pleasant. Those were not the exact words he might have chosen at the moment, all things considered, but first and foremost he needed to find a place to hide. And why was that?

Because he was a 4 oz chick running from roughly 3-5 lb kittens in what was rapidly becoming a loosing race.

He opened his mouth and let out a series of

Comments

[alessergoddess]

[Hello little bird. There's one Seth kneeling down and reaching a hand out for the little guy to jump into. She'll keep the bad kittens away even if the kittens are cute.]

[12winged_dealer]

[He contemplates the hand for a moment, or at least the shadow of it that he can understand (since he still lacks sight), utterly horrified that he must accept help like this, but seeing as he is rather... well, un-empowered at the moment, he gets up off his butt and flaps into her hand.

At least his 'savior' has the feel of a young lady. Small miracles.]

[alessergoddess]

[She'll lift her hand(and this cute little chick) up and away from those kittens. And she's smart enough to take a close look at his eyes.]

You can't see...can you? [Yes. She's trying to converse with an animal while walking away with him in her hand.]

[12winged_dealer]

Cheep.

[Yes. Though he has no idea if the young woman, and by the sound of her voice it was a woman, understood him. He doubted it. He just cocked his head, damning this stupid bird instinct.]

[alessergoddess]

[She's over nine-hundred years and spent a lot of time talking to animals. Somehow she's got a good instinct for figuring these things out.]

How sad. Sight is not something I think many people would like to lose. [so little birdy she's going to place her free hand on his head, lightly petting him.]

[12winged_dealer]

[He accepts this, grudgingly mind. He needs help and safe haven right now, so it would be in his best interest to react accordingly grateful.

800 year old chicks are not as grouchy as they seem, are they Seth?]

Cheep cheep.

[alessergoddess]

[It's okay. It was just a few pets. And no they are not appearing to grouchy but ah well.]

I wonder what we should do about this. If more cats come back and someone's not around it could end badly. [sigh.]

[12winged_dealer]

[No, really? The chick lets out a sound maybe like a chick equivalent of a sigh and fluffs itself as best it can. Obviously it had no control of the situation.]

[alessergoddess]

[No, not really. And she would hate to find a little dead chick. Gaaah.]

Do you stay anywhere in here?

[12winged_dealer]

Cheep cheep.

[Yes, but how is he exactly supposed to tell you when his vocal cords are not capable of human speech?]

[alessergoddess]

[By letting the mildly crazy and creative empress do her thing.]

Hm...on one of the floors here?

[12winged_dealer]

Cheep.

[This one, actually. How the kittens got on this floor he does not care, they just did.]

[alessergoddess]

[Unfortunately her insanity doesn't work well enough for her to realize that. There must be another way.

...Wait for it. Ah! Idea.]

Whatever floor number you have you can cheep that many times so I know for sure that we're on the right track.

[12winged_dealer]

[Ah, a clever one. He could appreciate this.

He cheeped the appropriate amount and then sat, waiting.]

[alessergoddess]

[...Oh hey wasn't that the floor they were on?

Okay. That's one problem solved. Sadly that doesn't help figure out what to do now.]

Hm. What next. Come on I know there's a way to figure this out.

[12winged_dealer]

[He'd offer advice, but his current state is not helpful towards that.]
