( chirp ! ) ‘ i tried my best to. it is different when you are the one doing it to yourself. ‘

‘ i would really enjoy that. ‘ ( trilling back ! albedo looked up at xiao and rubbed against the other ‘ s thumb. )

( chirp ! ) ‘ don ‘ t eat me in this form. i can . . . be eaten up in a different kind of way in my other form. ‘ ( flustered trills. )

( happy feet taps. albedo liked that now the two were at this stage of their relationship. shamelessly flirting . . . he never thought he would do this with anyone. ) yes i have. baby bird has been a helpful little one since i have became round and small.

oh fruit ? a little snack does sound good right now. ( flapping his wings at the kisses. )

( albedo began to whistle a song. one very familiar to xiao since the other hummed it so much albedo picked up on it. ) ‘we can share.’

( whistling happily as he went to make sure way to that shoulder. he puffed up his chest like a proud bird. ) ‘i could not do that easily before.’

( watching the other from the shoulder. ) ‘ oh this apple looks really good. ‘

‘sweet ones?’ ( waiting patiently for his apple slices. ) ‘i can not wait to try them with you.’

( cue the nibbles to the fruit as he flapped his wings. seems like he was very happy. ) ‘oh this is yummy.’

( albedo would take a break from eating it. he looked over at xiao. ) ‘ it is sweet like you. ‘

( chirping back before flapping his wings like he was making a fuss. not a real one though. he was just playing around. ) you are sweet !

( taps his little feets. ) ‘ how dare you say you are not cute. that is anything but the truth. ‘ ( big motions from a tiny bird. )

( melting at the touch. ) i guess i can only if you let me give you kisses. ( so much temper than albedo normally had. he was playing it up of course , but maybe being a bird played into too. )

( happy chirps ! ) perfect. ( and here comes a bird kiss. just leaning his beak against the other ‘ s cheek and letting out a chirp. )

now what are you eating ?

and that is safe for you to eat ?

( crouching down next to the other. ) is this the best way to eat it ? raw like this i mean.

i see. i wonder if you could actually cook with it. ( watching the other. )

( blushing brightly ! ) a swim ?
