"Cuquawked!"
Buddy, who had been walking with a smug stride, suddenly paused. He let out a sharp squawk, and all the other pekko stopped in their tracks, their eyes narrowing in unison.
"Hmm? Buddy?"
"Cuquawked~" (Monster~)
"Cuquawked!" (Yeah!)
"Cuquawked cuquawked!?" (So~ Who's taking it!?)
"Cuquawked cuquawked!" (If you want~ I'd gladly fight it for my master Aelius~)
Javier narrowed his eyes at them while Buddy and the other pekko faced each other, all letting out confident smirks on their beaks. Javier let out a long, weary exhale.
"Little brother?"
"Hmm? What?" Javier glanced at Marcellus.
"You understand pekko talk?" Cedric crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes toward Javier.
Aelius also looked at him curiously. "Yeah. It seems like you were focused when all our Pekko were talking to each other."
"Ah… not really."
Buddy squawked, his beak curling into a smug smirk. "Cuquawked~" (Look at my master casually lying to his brothers~)
