[A small giggle.]

No, it is more fun this way.

[That was a small blow but it is better this way. So instead of showing it, she would chuckle.] I guess that Herons look different where you are from?

Probably bigger since the baby would need to have space within to grow.

Who? Judging from that response, you already have someone in mind.

Tease.

[A small blow that is somehow meant as a compliment? He's bad at this.]

They look like birds. They don't look like gorgeous women.

How painful! I've overheard a few women giving birth and the screaming makes sense to me.

Only someone just as innocent as you.

Consider it a first test to see if you are as clever as a Raven.

[Yes, as it means that he isn't attracted to her.]

I do have a bird form, though I can't shift into it. And there are male Herons too.

I don't think I ever heard that before. I always heard that once they hold the baby, the pain completely vanishes.

[A small sigh.]

But someone who is more worthy than this one.

[He's tired of texting and so he switches to video, flicking some hair out of his eyes.]

Are the males as pretty as you? [Yes, he is ignoring the challenge. For now. He needs time to read her better.]

You have to push the baby out before you can hold it.

[Thus the screams.]

Pretty bird, you know what I am. You know some of what I've done. Of course I'm not worthy! You have it backwards.

[Well drat, now she will have to work on her facial expressions more.]

Far fairer than this one as her sisters are fairer than her.

I know that. [All of the soft huffing.

But then, he is belittling himself.]

But do you wish to move away from your past? You have been nothing but kind to this one and have shown kindness and compassion. You are worthy though it is ultimately up to the one you seek affections from. If they cannot see what I see, then perhaps they were not worthy of you.

[Difficult, isn't it?]

You have a bad perception of yourself. Where does that come from? Did someone lie to you?

[He narrows his eyes and sticks his tongue out at Ying. She is wiggling onto his stomach, chewing on something she found.]

I don't think I ever could. [Who would be insane enough to forgive him?] I told you, I like you. If I was cruel to you, that would push you away.

[But she shouldn't trust him.]

[Yes, it is. Cheater.]

I am merely stating the truth. No, no one lied to me.

[Ying to the rescue! Leanne giggles at the sight of Ying. Any expressions can be pinned on the familiar's antics.]

The effort you are making as well as the desire is a good start. While a part would always haunt you, it isn't impossible, especially with what I have seen of you. [She cannot speak of those from his world, only that she would.] And I like you back, there is no cruelty from liking a person, silly.

[And yet, she does. Fully trusts him at least physically and somewhat all the other aspects.]

I stand by my words, Xue Yang.

The truth according to you. Not me or anyone else.

[He rubs over Ying's fluffy head as she noses at his communicator.]

Your faith in me is...concerning. [For her sake!] I will only disappoint you. I'm like a wild animal.

[Though that likely means nothing to her.]

Making you like me might be cruel. [But how can he help himself?]

That is because I am the only one you ever met. [And he would never get the chance to meet the others...]

Aww, Ying, are you keeping your master in line?

[A small tease before she goes to shake her head.]

So what if you do? It would change nothing for me. And your wildness does have a charming aspect to it.

[And watch her not be phased by his futile attempts!]

It might but I could think of things far more cruel. We are friends and now you are stuck with me.

I don't need to meet the others. [Ying hears her voice and shows Leanne her find! It's a chewy stick. Isn't it the best?]

She's just using me as a cushion! [Xue Yang wiggles his fingers at Ying and she paws at them, growling.]

No wonder you get along with her~ You like wild beasts.

[He does too, honestly. Especially if they're fluffy.]

Oh no! What will I do?

Why not? [That was surprising to hear. Though at the stick showing, Leanne giggles.]

Look at that stick! I bet that was a rare find. You better keep it safe from anybody else so you can show it to me the next time we meet.

[And then the interaction between the two just makes her smile even more.]

Is it surprising that I do? I especially like the cute ones.

Just accept it and know that you are not alone here.

I like you. [So that's that for him. Xue Yang isn't a man who likes opening himself up. Ying is much the same and her tail wags when attention is brought to her treasure~ Then she hides the stick under her fluffy body. There. It's safe!]

She'll remember. [He smiles faintly and strokes a hand over Ying's back.]

I have a hard time saying no to the cute ones. [Which include her.]

[He is rather simple isn't he? Leanne goes to let out a small sigh.] Just that reason? [It had a more fond tone to the question.]

I don't doubt it. And if she doesn't, then you will have something to tease her about.

You like cute things? Maybe if you become a king, your kingdom would just be full of cute things.

[In this? Yes. Decisions shouldn't be regretted unless there is a specific, good reason.]

You're sexy too? [That helps. Don't judge him.]

Do you hear that, Lady Ying? [He smirks at her vocal chattering. No teasing!]

Will you help me find desserts and cute things?

[She would become envious of him. Such a simple and easy life when it comes to things like this.]

Sexy?.... [Her?.... Sexy? She would judge if she wasn't clearly bluescreening at the thought.

Thankfully, Ying was there to save the day.]

Only if she forgets.

Not sure how good I would be in finding such things. Ah, but then once you are a king, I would have to call you my lord Xue Yang.

[He doesn't deserve envy, Leanne. He is a mess inside. His spirit is somewhere between screaming child and homicidal adult.]

I said it. [What is she gonna do about it? Nothing? Well okay.]

She hasn't forgotten anything. [As far as he can tell. Ying is a clever girl.]

Don't be stupid. I'm still Xue Yang or A-Yang~

[No, she will still envy him! Fight her on this.]

.... I do not believe that this one is "sex-xy". [He may need to get his eyes checked.]

I am glad. You probably keep her very busy.

[She blinks before allowing herself to laugh a little.]

A-Yang? But it would be disrespectful not to call you by your title when it happens.

[All of the laughter before she stops.] Thank you... truly, thank you Xue Yang. But one thing to think about is finding yourself a queen or a partner if you become a king.

[Raaawr! Fight, fight! Then eat candy.]

Do I need to get you a mirror? Or take you to a still pond? [His eyes are fine.] I've never seen hair like yours. I feel like I could use it as real gold.

[Now she gets a petulant pout.] She chose to be with me.

[Ying sprawls then, yawning loudly. She is gonna nap right on his stomach.]

Not to me. You're one of the few who likes me as I am now, so you don't have to use titles.

[He laughs lowly and lays back.]

I feel bad for them.

[Eat all the candy and sweets after the fight.]

No you dont... But it is true that I am not sexy. [He really needs his eyes checked!] Really? But it seems like my hair color is no longer that unique.

[The pout made a brief frown that showed up vanished into a small smile.]

Aye, she did. Just remember that, she choose to be with you.

[And squeal! She is looking so cute right now!]

... it is because it wouldn't be fair to judge you on your past. Even if you shed blood... it wouldn't be right to deny you the chance to live differently. A-Yang is A-Yang, I do not see him as any other person.

[A small chuckle.]

Don't as it would be a perk of kingship.

We're going to keep arguing in circles, you know that? [She's not innocent; she is innocent; she isn't sexy; she is sexy. He makes himself comfortable, crossing his legs and resting a hand behind his head.]

I'd say it's still unique. Everyone has a slightly different shade. No one is exactly like you.

[He smirks down at Ying, sighing.]

She's not so bad. [His brows rise and he chuckles breathlessly.] And you...like...A-Yang? Whether he is a king or not?

[The idea of having a companion - a queen or...a consort - will be avoided. Like the plague.]

It seems that way. We both speaks truths that we each believe in. [And he looked rather comfortable at the moment. This agreement they had seemed to work in favor of her. He didn't need to know how little value she actually holds.]

Except for my family. [A small giggle but it did make her feel better.]

Aye, she isn't so bad. [She goes to wait a moment or two before answering his question.] Yes, I like A-Yang, whether he is a king or not. For he is someone who is precious to me. Even if this one is not worthy of him.

[And now, she has a new subject to tease him about. Forever.

You're a stubborn little bird with pretty feathers, that's all. [He watches Ying as she drifts into a deep, happy slumber. There is a feeling of...being tethered. Belonging. In his chest. But he turns his back to it, not trusting it.]

Even they are not exactly like you. I would be able to pick you out.

[And carry her away from her prison.]

Precious, am I. [He looks at her as if she has grown another head!] And you say you're not worthy of me? Are you by chance a lover of wine?

And you are just a handsomely scarred up Beorc who seems to share the same stubbornness as this one. [Nooo embrace the feeling of belonging! It is a good feeling.]

.... I would love that if it was true. [And she couldnt help but to gain a sad smile on her face.]

Yes, you are precious. I would be sad if anything were to happen to you or if you became sad. [Stop looking at her like that!] I never had wine before.
