005 - [ video ]

[byherscore]

[ feathers poofed everywhere as Diva gently brushed them away from her mouth, flecks of blood staining her cheek. ]

Vicious little things, aren't they?

[ They tried so hard, they did. But Diva is Diva. One little goose wasn't going to ruin her mood. No, not in the least. If they're inclined to attack, she'll just attack them first. And as for that egg?

Junk. ]

[ she smiled drawing a feather tip across her lip ]

He attacked me. I simply gave him just due.

[ and it had been so very, very long since she let herself loose. She should do it again. ]

[beyourarmy]

He attacked you? I didn't know they were that vicious.

And I know you can take care of yourself. Karl told me as much.

[Yeah, definitely not letting her near his wings again.]

video

[byherscore]

Hmm... It seemed to want this. [ she held up the egg, looking it at briefly before tossing it. She had only wanted a look. ]

[ but they were so.,. fluffy ]

video

[beyourarmy]

Huh? I wonder what the big deal is about those eggs?

video

[byherscore]

Does it matter? They taste atrocious.

[ she had tasted the yolk of one, briefly. no golden omelets for Diva ]

video

[beyourarmy]

You ATE one? I didn't think they were edible.... Guess I should have cracked one open anyway.

video

[byherscore]

If you want one, I'll get you one. [ in return for a little... favor, hm? and who knows. If you bang something hard enough, eventually, it will break. ]

video

[beyourarmy]

No, that's okay. I don't want it if it doesn't taste good.

video

[byherscore]

Maybe you'll like it better though... [ after all, she does have special taste after all. Setsuna's might be more...

plebeian. ]

video

[beyourarmy]

[They are, actually.]

I guess.... But do you have to hurt any of them in the process?

video

[byherscore]

Does it matter?

[ what was one dead goose to Setsuna? Killing them, after all, was half the fun. ]

video

[beyourarmy]

Well, yeah.... I don't really like animals having to be killed unless you're gonna eat them.

video

[byherscore]

Then you can have him. [ egg and all ]

video

[beyourarmy]

[He's about to protest, but, what the hell, it'll keep the animal alive.] If it's got an egg, it's probably a she.

But sure.

video

[byherscore]

[ she, he... it didn't matter. She'll forget all about the bird in a moment. ]

Come and fetch it then. Unless you'd like Karl to take it to you?

[ She won't keep her all day, after all. Not when there were far more interesting things to do. But Karl... well. She was Diva. He'd do anything she asked. ]

video; -- action?

[beyourarmy]

[As much as he had been trying to avoid her, well....]

I'll go get it. [The chances of Karl leaving it in one piece weren't high, either.]

video; -- of course!

[byherscore]

[ but didn't Setsuna know? There is no avoiding Diva... Ever. Not when she's of a mind. ]

Then hurry. I may just leave it if you don't.

[ and who knows what foul thing will crush it ]

action!

[beyourarmy]

[Apparently, there isn't. He doesn't even respond on the device, and goes off to look for her.]

[When he spots her, he waves his arms for attention.] So...is it still in one piece?

action!

[byherscore]

[ she shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the crate that's not too far away. ]

It's in there.

[ but be careful, they're vicious ]

action!

[beyourarmy]

I'll just...take the crate.

[He finds out how vicious when it starts flapping about when he picks up the crate.]

action!

[byherscore]

You don't want the egg first? [ she's surprised. That is why Setsuna was there, wasn't it? The goose was simply secondary. ]

action!

[beyourarmy]

No.... I'm not that interested in the egg. I wanted to make sure you didn't hurt the goose!

action!

[byherscore]

[ she laughed, long and hard ]

You are interesting. [ and so incredibly dull too. What was life but to take it? ]

action!

[beyourarmy]

Whatever. Laugh all you want. [He's put off at being laughed at, but it's harmless enough. So he just gives her a slight glare.]

As long as I get the goose.

action!

[byherscore]

[ she simply smiled, pleased beyond all reckoning ] He's yours. [ and she will laugh, long and hard as he leaves, if he wants to. It really is just all the same to her. ]

action!

[beyourarmy]

[Goose in tow, then, Setsuna takes off, quickly. He likes her, for some reason he'll never be able to explain (like he does Rosiel or Karl), and for much the same reason he's wary around the other two, he's quite aware he needs to be wary around her.]
