[Video] 004 ☽
[He's been given so much to think about these days. After his talk with Akito, that negativity, while not necessarily dampening his spirit, did get to him somewhat. To think that people still thought that way...it was a little frustrating, after everything he had fought for--
And then...A parrot and a missing name on the contact's list. It's little wonder his expression is contemplative, bordering a little, perhaps, on quietly sad.
It isn't like him to use his SFC, no, except for answering other's calls or privately calling others, but this is something he needs to do.
And perhaps...well, loneliness is something that he doesn't much deal with, normally, but even for someone like him, to lose is lonely. No matter how much he gets used to it.
But when he turns to the screen, his expression is as calm as always. There is...also a yellow parrot on his shoulder, which might be familiar to anyone who knew a [Bad username or site: treasurehunted title= @ livejournal.com]. The parrot seems to find picking up strands of blue hair and dropping them entertaining, so that is what it is doing.
Minato doesn't seem to mind--or at least, he ignores it.]
Is anyone familiar with how to take care of large birds?
[He tilts his head, shifting--the parrot squawks before steadying itself from the movement.]
Any advice would be appreciated.
[He hesitates a moment more--it's his duty to look after this parrot, right? If...aniki is gone, as it seems to be.
And then a flap of large wings--the bird is rather too large to sit comfortable on Minato's small frame--and he fumbles with the SFC as a result--]
Ah--
[And the feed clicks off.
Oops?]

I meant for the Pokemon's sake.
[/DEADPAN.
Okay he didn't really mean that, but this is a demon bird, and he is very good with his lineface.]
no subject
Oh. N gets it and cracks a smile. ]
He's not that bad.
[ Look at him, sitting pretty on N's arm like a good bird. ]
no subject
yeah okay whatever. Behave for N, demon bird.]
He does live up to his name.
[It's easy enough for him to translate, since it's in Japanese. But he considers the bird, tucking his hands into his pockets.]
But we'll have to get along, at the very least.
no subject
[ The parrot gets more neck rubs, and makes pleasant sound.
You know that devilish smile children give to their siblings as they hug their mothers, promising they will treat their little brother better? The smile that means as soon as mom has turned her back, the shit will be beat out of you?
Congratulations, Minato. You are now getting the bird version of it.
[1/2]
[2/2]
Glances at N. Stares back at the bird.
And his lineface simply deepens. He can handle one devil birds. Even if said devil bird seems to think he took away his Aniki. Yeah. Sure.]
I...am sure we will. Somehow. We had a dog back at the dorms but a bird is something else entirely.

no subject
Still, he nods.]
I would appreciate that. I'm sure Chibioni can take care of himself, but I'd like to do what I can as well.
no subject
Well, Chibioni? What is it that you need from Minato, while he is taking care of you?
no subject
Minato is patient, allowing the parrot and N to communicate.]
no subject
[ N strokes the parrot's head affectionately. ]
no subject
I can handle that much. It doesn't surprise me that he can take care of himself.
[He can't really see Motochika spending massive amounts of time taking care of the bird.]
no subject
[ One could call it flattery, except N means it. He obviously adores Chibioni already. ]
no subject
Yeah pretty much that.
Smart bird, sure. N adores him already. Well okay.
...but still a demon bird and Minato knows it. Oh god this is going to be hellish with Aniki gone, isn't it--]
...Right.
no subject
Want me to help set up a place for him? If he is going to stay with you a while.
no subject
no subject
no subject
The window will have to do. I can just leave it open for him.
[He's not too concerned about his own safety, really.
And well.
...what things--
His room is basically empty. Empty shelves. A bed with a comforter (blue). And...little else.]
no subject
But N is not one to notice...his own room looks much the same, if one ignored the beds set up for his Pokemon. ]
Then we should put water and food for him there, and a place to perch.
no subject
And he nods, noting this down mentally.]
I can go pick up supplies today...What would you suggest as food. What does he like?
no subject
He likes fruit especially, though I would also get nuts for him.
no subject
[...sigh.]
Thank you for your help, N-kun. Hopefully I'll be able to take care of him better now.
no subject
no subject
[He reaches for Chibioni then, and the bird cooperates and steps onto his hand, if clearly reluctantly.]
Thank you for coming all this way, N-kun.
no subject
[ N gives Chibioni a last, fond stroke. ]
I will see you later, all right?
