a jerkbirb appears

[isnotfrench]

Me? Allow myself to be puppeted by a filthy commoner? There must be laws against this! And if there aren't any, rest assured I'll make them! You better have a good explanation for this, or you'll know true fear when you face the Le Bel family's personal lawyers!

And another thing! Why are you bothering to go through this charade? If you have any talent at all, locked away in your feeble monkey addled brain, then-- then how dare you squander it! Or, worse, act as if you have none! Though a Le Bel such as myself would never dream of sullying themselves with this... this work, a human of no standing like you should have nothing to fear from lowering yourself to this level. It's not as if you can get any lower!

Well? What are you waiting for? If you're going to work, get going!

Ah, if it isn't my darling little brother! That's hardly the best way to endear yourself to somebirdie who holds your future in their hands, Sakuya.

[isnotfrench]

And what, constantly flirting works better?! At least somebirdie has dignity!

[espigeonage]

I certainly think so! She became quite adorably flustered, and now I've been the number one dove of her life for two years.

[He leans forwards conspiratorially] I was her first bird, and her first outgoing cheerful type. That leaves quite an impact, you know!

[isnotfrench]

[Puffs up!] Is there nothing you won't schmooze, Sakazaki? Why must you always try to spread your genetics around with anyone who so much as looks at you?!

[And a bit more normal now.] Besides. My... whatever you'd call this... they insist that they don't have a type. So, in that regard, I suppose we have that much in common.

[espigeonage]

How cruel! I'm really quite hard to get. [he's a huge tease.]

Ah, versatility is useful. Still looking, or a generalist by trade? As your brother I do like to hear about happenings in your life.

[isnotfrench]

I'm not going to think about it. This conversation ends now! [dnw to talk about bro's sex life in non insulting detail.]

I haven't the faintest idea what she's planning, if that's what you mean. If nothing else, I'm difficult to ignore-- and don't you dare say anything! [gotta close that opening up at the pass.] But... I suppose that would work in my favor. Eventually. If she wasn't so fickle!

[espigeonage]

Ahaha, your wish is my command.

There's certainly no one like you in all the world, or worlds for that matter. I'm pleased people recognize that.

[isnotfrench]

Save the flattery for your impressionable writer. I don't need you to tell me what I already know!

[espigeonage]

Oh, I think you can stand to hear it. Anyway, you've decided on a name for them! Congratulations.

[isnotfrench]

Then assume I'm wearing earmuffs! And don't patronize me! Choosing a name for an annoyance shouldn't be difficult to begin with.

[espigeonage]

My dear Sakuya, I've never patronized you in my life!

Well. Almost never.

[isnotfrench]

What do you call this, a nice chat in a garden?!

[espigeonage]

Is it a garden to you? Tell me more!

[isnotfrench]

No, it's a metaphor, you dolt!

[espigeonage]

Haha, all right, then.

So, Sakuya! If your writer takes you anywhere, will you end up being as human as you look now?

[isnotfrench]

How should I know? Send a homing pigeon in first?

[espigeonage]

Do you know a good one?

Mine, I'd say she'd never consider it. She's very fond of my feathers. Then again I did get reincarnated as a human, and it took much of that two years to get to looking like myself again.

[isnotfrench]

I'm sure my butler can make some recommendations.

If mine considers it, we're going to have words, believe me.

[espigeonage]

Hmm. Yeah. Albert. [Yuuya's not a fan.]

You know, these human forms just can't reflect things very accurately and that's reasonable I suppose, but I'm always a little put out by the idea of losing my tailfeathers. The best replacement they can have is buttocks with a curve to them, and I... honestly I fail to see why humans find those appealing.

[isnotfrench]

You won't find a more skilled bird if you tried.

And you think I am going to sit here and explain it to you?! Nonsense!

[espigeonage]

Sure, but he's the single most ominous bird I know. I suppose you know best there.

You understand it? Wow, Sakuya, I wouldn't have pegged that.
