One waits a long moment until he's sure she's gone.

"Don't- I don't wanna- get you in trouble?"

Permalink

"Not in trouble. She's not mad."

Permalink

"...But you're...hiding from her?"

Permalink

"Staying with you." He reaches out to preen the top of One's head again.

Permalink

"-Oh." One is quiet for a moment, starting to melt a little under Phantasm's ministrations. "I- She won't be mad?"

Permalink

"She won't be mad." Preen preen. "She likes you. She's worried."

Permalink

One is quiet, slowly turning into a purring puddle, and thinking. "I- But I'm fine?"

Permalink

"You aren't eating enough." He punctuates this with a fluff of his head-feathers. "It'll make you sick."

Permalink

Slightly startled twitch. "I- but- I've never- That's what I've always eaten?"

Permalink

"It's not enough." He thinks for a moment. "Feel my back."

Permalink

One is still for a moment, and then one paw, very cautiously and hesitantly feels along Phantasm's back.

Permalink

It's not bony, like his, but padded out with muscle and a little bit of fat.

"Feels different?"

Permalink

One cocks his head, and nods a little. "Yes?"

Permalink

"Supposed to be like that."

Permalink

"Oh." Prods a little at himself, and how bony he is. "I- didn't know? I- It felt like enough?"

Permalink

He trills to himself. "Might be something else wrong."

Permalink

One shakes his head slightly. "Feel fine?"

Permalink

"I dunno."

Permalink

One flops down a little again, humming quietly, a little uncertainly.

Permalink

"Can ask Deka. But - faster if you talk to her." Preen preen. "Won't hurt you, I promise."

Permalink

One shakes his head. "I- he'll be mad."

Permalink

"About what?" He snuggles back up.

Permalink

"...Wouldn't want me to disturb her."

Permalink

He drapes his wing over One again. "He asked her to help you. It's her job."

Permalink

One thinks about it for a moment. "I- I'll think- think about it?"
