I’m taking way longer then expected, so a small writing snippet to feed ya’ll while I draw.
“You wanna pet him?” Sky asked with a smile, stroking the bright red loftwing calmly. He didn’t really hide very well, his eyes lit up at that. He quickly snapped himself out of his very poorly hidden excitement.
“He, doesn’t bite right?” He asked hesitantly. The bird might have reminded him of Zeffa, but all his past, ahem, encounters with cuccos didn’t make him so eager to pet the bird. Ugh, the thought of it could make him shiver.
Sky chuckled, “Oh no, he can be playful, but he won’t hurt you. Isn’t that right bud?” Sky said, as the large bird gave a trill and nuzzled its owner.
He rubbed his arm and shifted a bit. “If you say so.”
He stepped forward, wow… it was really big compared to him.
“Just hold your hand out, he’ll come to you.” Sky offered. He rubbed the bird one last time, placing a small kiss on the bird's head and stepping back to give them space.
Then it was just him holding his hand out to the bird, as the bird looked down at it curiously.
They both just looked at each other for a while.
It reminded him of his meeting with Zeffa, except Zeffa flew up to him immediately and Zeffa wasn’t a giant bird. Well, when you were normal sized anyway.
Then the loftwing stepped forward, he stiffened, still holding his hand out. Then the bird put its beak in his hand, closing its eyes softly. He was stunned, then he chuckled as the bird immediately tried to nussle him.
He was then attacked by a barrage of nuzzling and happy trills. His chuckles then turned to giggling as he tried to fight off the nuzzle attack from messing up his hair. “Hey, hey! You're getting my hair all messy!” He said as he playfully batted at the bird who continued to keep nuzzling him.
Sky chuckled as he rested into a grin, walking up to pat the bird. “See? He likes you!”
“Maybe a bit too much, he’s messing up my hair!” He laughed, giving up his attempts to stop being nuzzled to death, as the bird continued to keep nuzzling him even more.
Zeffa is definitely gonna be jealous when he comes home again. If he doesn’t get the silent treatment that is.
