[this is so weird but in like a good way. smiles, once the initial surprise wears off, and reaches up to carefully pet his head]

You did.

This suits you, I must say.

It’s my best form for bird hugs.

[fluffs up into the petting]

[for an instant, his breath catches and he goes very still. a million thoughts and feelings rushing through him]

[buuuut that's like,

his own problem.

skill issue.

he exhales with a small sigh and closes his eyes, leaning into fluffy bird as he continues petting him. this is the important thing right now]

Mm. I don't disagree.

[one bright eye opens for a sec, registering that pause, but in this moment he doesn’t ask. just, soft]

I dunno what it was like with us, but I’d like to have somethin’ again, even if it isn’t exactly the same.

Thank you.

[scritch scritch scritch]

No, thank you. It wasn't much in the first place, so... it should be easy to rebuild.

[slightly suspicious]

What's...'wasn't much.'

I've never been very good with people, so I'd mostly keep to myself.

Yeah, but we lived in the same house...we didn't hang out or nothin'?

... We ate meals together sometimes? Movie night every now and then...

That’s not nothing at all. You kept me company…I’m pretty sure I was lonely back then, you know?

You... were?

[oh no, I was an even WORSE roommate than expected]

Like in general. It wasn’t you, it’s just…a guess from the letters I was writing and stuff.

[he can Smell The Guilt]

[please don't.

he doesn't look too convinced, but isn't about to argue about this, so]

If you say so...

[AND STILL FEEL BAD]

[chomps his ear a lil bit]

—Ow, what?!

[covers his ear with his hand]

[firmly]

I wanna be friends this time. And I’m not gonna forget a second time.

This feels threatening somehow.

[NODDING WITH ALL THE ENTHUSIASM A BIRD'S HEAD BOBBLE PROVIDES]

It's a threat all right.
