[Shun has found the eggs. He's examining an orange and yellow one curiously when it begins to shake, then crack. Shun stares at in shock then gives a started shout as flames sudden erupt from the cracks. Before he can react, or even think to drop the egg, the flames disappear leaving the egg a grayish color. It swiftly collapses, drifting away as ash and leaving only a small, very fluffy, red and gold chick sitting in his hand.]

Wha-what!?

[Axel also has a little bird hatchling! It's sitting in his hair. It's sparkly and most definitely fiery, with little blue and red flames coming off it. Especially when it sneezes. That makes it puff out like a 'tard.]

Aww, you're a mama now.

[Yaay for fire birdies! Although Shun is just giving Axel a confused look]
What am I suppose to do with him? [Although he's now holding the chick with both hands. He doesn't want to drop the little thing by accident.]

You're supposed to feed him and take care of him. Duh. [He smiles gently for once, taking the smartass out of his words.] Just keep him company. Let him sleep on you. Feed him... birdseed, I guess. I'm not actually sure what phoenix-things eat, but I guess I'll find out.

[The tiny phoenix Shun is holding gives a little peep and he smiles] It is cute, and it doesn't seem like it will be that hard to take care of. Even if it turns out they don't eat birdseed I'm sure someone around here will know about them.

Yeah, maybe.

I can't say I remember the last time I had a pet. If mine doesn't get any bigger, that's just fine with me.

....I don't remember how big a phoenix is suppose to be. I don't think they're suppose to get that big though.

Having a pet isn't really that hard and they're a lot of fun. We had a dog back in the mansion that all of us ended up taking care of. But this is the first time I've had a pet of my very own before. [Cerberus does not count.]

[Mu is carrying his own egg, which looks to be in the process of hatching very slowly - cracks run along it's surface, more concentrated in some areas than others.]

You've found your brother, it seems.

Maybe mine will get big enough that I can ride it. How awesome would that be?

[He nods.] Yeah, but I don't have a home. Right now. So either it'll follow me to the ends of multiple worlds or stay in the ship with the chipmunk twins.

[Is carefully cradling the chick in both hands now. He doesn't want to drop it.] What am I suppose to do with him? I don't know how you take care of a phoenix...

But if it got that big, where would you keep it?

[Feels kind of guilty about mention 'home' now.] Oh. You mean you visit different worlds a lot?

Maybe I can teach him to shrink. [He scratches his chin.] But you have a point... I can't have my cake and eat it, too. Unfortunately.

[Axel stretches, cracking the bones in his fingers, wrists, elbows, back, and finally his neck.] Mmhmm. We can't go home until this story's done.

Food and water would be a place to start, I think.

What would a phoenix eat? Birdseed? Or is that to normal for it?

It might. Give it options. Fruits or insects are possibilities as well.

You should probably figure out what he can do before you try to teach him anything.

[Is puzzled] ...Story?

I'll work it out.

We're saving the world right now. When that's over, we can go back home and lay around on the clock tower all we want. That's the theory, anyway.

[Saving the world is something Shun is familiar with and he nods in understand] ..It's funny isn't it, how important the normal things seem when something big is happening. [The chick in Shun's hands gives a worried peep and starts fluttering it's tiny wings, actually managing to raise an inch up in the air where it flutters for a moment before dropping back into his hands, now completely exhausted.]

[He nods a little] ...What about meat? Don't some birds eat that too?

Birds of prey do, but this little one lacks the look of a hunter.

[Small smile] I guess you're right. [As if in response to that the little chick peeps and flutters its wings, raising about an inch or so before flopping back into Shun's hands, exhausted.]
It doesn't look vicious at all. It's just kind of cute. ....I'm not sure Nii-san would like it.

It's still a baby. Perhaps he will, or perhaps not. Ikki is full of surprises, after all.

Heh. Yeah. Like helping a friend with homework, or something. [Axel watches Shun's new friend, and can't resist a smile. His own is asleep now.] You gotta seize those moments when you can. Carpe diem. Unless you hate homework, that is.

Edited 2010-07-28 18:16 (UTC)

I've never had homework, but I know what you mean. Those little moments can remind you what you're fighting for.

[He cradles the little bird carefully] I guess I should think of a name for him.

Then I hope Nii-san comes back soon so he can see it....although I guess it will be hard to explain.

Yeah... [He scratches the back of his head, careful not to disturb sleeping baby birdie.]

I dunno what to name mine yet, either.

It can't be harder than Cerberus.

[Will switch his little chick to his shoulder after a moment] I thought about naming mine after my brother, but that would be kind of weird.

Y'think? It'd make for some pretty epic pranks... unless you meant seriously. Uh.

[Looks a little embarrassed at that] Nii-san is the phoenix Saint so it does kind of remind me of him. He keeps disappear too, but maybe he would come back more if I named it after him.

That's...

[... urge to hairruffle rising.]

If it helps you think of him, then do it.
