" AND I WOKE UP TO THE SUNRISE! I WOKE UP TO YOUR GOODBYES! "
The company of others was one event that the silent beast enjoyed. There was no demand to speak, to listen or read the room. He was simply able to just ... exist. On days like this, existing within itself was something he looked forward to. The presence of Pochi went unrecognized until the youth bumped into his hind leg, earning the kitten a sound of shock as the siren jumped away from the contact and whipped around.
Oh. It's the new kitten., he would think to himself before lowering his head closer to the ground and giving a soft expulsion of breath. The youngster seemed plenty embarrassed enough, a small smile tugging across his lips at the kitten's posture. The kitten looking down was something he had begun to notice as what could maybe be described as a habit or personality quirk. Gently tapping his paw on the sand near to the kitten, wanting to assure him it was alright, the siren would find a way to ease himself down at the edge of the tidepool with a slowly wagging tail. Maybe he could catch Pochi a fesh snack?
What he would give to hear the words of praise that Cyprian had spoken, if only he'd known they'd been spoken. He was a sucker for praise, any attention or affection really. Childish as it might be for an adult to desire such things. He observed as his feathered acquaintance fluttered down to join them, easing his weight onto his side with a half-hearted grunt, content to relax under the sun with his search. His eyes sparkled with concern as the ave ducked his head underwater, a distressed pant escaping him as he moved to get to his paws before Cyp resurfaced and shook water from his feathers. Tongue previously lolling, now pressed between his teeth as he stopped his leisurely panting, mouth slightly agape as Cyprian approached.
Nose twitching as he sniffed the air, beginning to pant again as Cyp deposited his catch, a smile on his maw even as he extended his neck to sniff at the phoenix with a glimmer of concern in his furrowed brows and bright eyes. Looking back to the slug he had caught and deposited, the siren tipped his head before nodding. He was helping him with his collecting. Looking to Pochi and whuffing out a soft gust of breath in the kitten's direction, slipping one of his paws into the tidepool he was closest to, perking his ears with a hopeful look to the kitten. Was he doing the same thing?
