❀ Twelve ❀

We should all see each other more often, okay? It's been a long time since we were all together. Maybe we could all have tea sometime! It would be just like at home, almost!

[Today, Hunny's sitting down at the duck pond. Well, more like partially in the duck pond. He has his feet dipped in the water, and his bunny is face-first in the grass next to him. A few feet away, a duck is munching on some cookie crumbs. Three guesses where they came from.]

❀ You'd think there would be more animals here, but all I ever see are the ducks!

… I wonder if they used to live somewhere else, like all of us? ❀

[He reaches out to poke one ... and is rewarded with a wing-flap right in his face.]

Comments

yay!

Don't be silly. Poking hurts them. That's why it got mad. How would you like to get poked like that? [Jeez, don't some kids know anything?]

[He backs away from the duck rather violently, tumbling backwards into the grass as he does so.]

❀ I didn't mean to be hurting it! I'm sorry, duck! ❀

[She sits down next to him and picks up the duck carefully.]

You just gotta be gentle, see?

[boylolita.livejournal.com]

❀ Wow, it let you pick it up! ❀

[Stating the obvious. Hunny is entranced.]

[toyhopes.livejournal.com]

Yup! 'Cause I like birds and I'm nice to them. You can pet it if you want.

❀ I like birds too! ❀

[He looks the tiniest bit offended - he never meant to hurt it. As slowly as possible, Hunny reaches out and brushes his fingers against the duck's head.]

[She giggles at him a little.]

See? If you're gentle they'll like you. What kind of birds do you like?

[boylolita.livejournal.com]

❀ Um, parrots are pretty! And the white ones that talk! ❀

[toyhopes.livejournal.com]

Parrots that can talk? I've never seen that before!

[boylolita.livejournal.com]

❀ Well they can't talk on their own, but you can teach them how to say things and sing songs. ❀

[toyhopes.livejournal.com]

Have you ever taught one to say something?

[boylolita.livejournal.com]

❀ No, but I've seen them on TV before! ❀
