- Taldin blinks, and goes, 'Yeep?' And holds his head veeery still.
- He giggles. "At least you landed on my hat, and didn't bring R-Crow with
- you. It could've been worse, I could've been combing my hair at the time.
- (Like I ever comb my hair. This is just a leadup to a pun, of course, since..)
-
- "Actually have RL feathers for my hat now, thanks to some friends of mine,
- as you know." He gently reaches up to brush at the feathers on the back
- of her head. (What is it you do to 'pet/scritch' birds, anyhow?)
- "Hope things are better with your friend far away, yesno?"
-
- "What's the pun, Taldin?"
-
- "Oh, that..."
-
-
-
- "..a bird on the head is worth two on the brush?"

- Taldin the Blue Unicorn
- Defender of Light
- Walking Into Winter Wanderlands.
