Accidental Video//Action for those at the Zoo

[antipillar]

[Over at the zoo there seems to be someone in the cage with some very exotic looking birds. Some of them probably aren't even from Earth. In fact, it's unclear how many of them really.

Mixed in with them is a handsome young man wearing all black. He is sitting on a branch...fast asleep.

The birds don't mind though. They're all gathered around him as if to guard his rest. One little blue one is even nestled on top of his head, singing a pretty little tune for him

Lantis certainly has some interesting friends, doesn't he?]

[ First Elena thinks this guy meant to turn his video on. Then she realizes, nope, he's just asleep. She shrugs, moving onto other things - which involves rearranging furniture that isn't hers. Because this is what she's put her mind to.

That pretty little tune gets into her head and soon she's humming along. Possibly not on key - but, hum she does.

The couch screeches against the floor, her feed still on with the guy. She prepares herself to apologize for waking him up. ]

[Lantis blinks at the strange sound that isn't a bird singing him a lullaby. It takes him a moment to figure out that it came from his device.

Which is on.

When did that happen?]

[ Pushing it a little more. Another scuff. She usually doesn't do this alone. Looking back at the device, she sees that he's up. ]

Sorry, I should've turned off the link. [ between them. ] The bird's song was... nice. [ though, man if that's a bird she's ever seen ]

[Oh. The one still on his head. Which he doesn't seem bothered by at all. It doesn't either since it's still singing for him.]

She likes to sing for the people she's fond of.

[rehashing]

[ ...Yeah. That one. Is that comfortable? ]

She seems really fond of you.

[antipillar]

Animals like me for some reason.

[Probably because he's very calm and quiet.]

[rehashing]

[ You seem pretty calm. That might be it. ]

Are you an animal person?

video l

[antipillar]

[Definitely a personality trait here.]

I enjoy their company.

[rehashing]

Is that your birdcage?

video l

[antipillar]

...No. This is the cage for the birds at the zoo.

[rehashing]

Do you work there?

video l

[antipillar]

I do.

[rehashing]

[ Well, this at least makes more sense. ]

Are you on break?

[Eagle looks down at the package on the counter and then back up at the screen. ]

I suppose...

[He smiles and tilts his head playfully to one side. ]

... this would be a bad time to ask if you wanted chicken for dinner tonight?

Video

[antipillar]

[He's awake now and blinking at you, Eagle. Because wait...what?]

Interesting timing.

Video

[eagleofautozam]

I didn't know you would be sleeping with birds when I went to the market today.

[So they do have a nice bit of chicken to cook for later. It is the very package on the counter that he glanced at when replying the first time.]

Video

[antipillar]

I had a break after I fed the birds.

...And I was tired.

[He really does enjoy his naps.]

Video

[eagleofautozam]

Be careful. Some one might think you are a part of the exhibit.

[So does Eagle, but in a bird cage? Lantis picks the most unique spots! ]

Video

[antipillar]

...Really?

Video

[eagleofautozam]

It could happen!

[Maybe not... ]

If they ever do I will make sure to bring you a treat. I know they say not to feed the animals but I think I could smuggle something in for you anyway.

Video

[antipillar]

...You're teasing me.

Video

[eagleofautozam]

I do like to do that every chance I get.

Video

[antipillar]

Should I help with dinner when I get back?

Video

[eagleofautozam]

Yes, please. It is always more fun when we cook together, don't you think?

Video

[antipillar]

[He smiles. A sure sign that he agrees.]

I should be there in a couple of hours.
