Javier smiled, glancing at Buddy before straightening up and handling the reins again.
"I wanted to do that, but hey~ you know we don't have enough time for the 'ceremony' yet."
"Cuquawked~" (Yeah, right~ I already followed your instructions to get the pekko that's suitable for her, and yet you were too busy playing chase with that guy… oops… your half-brother over there~ along with your other brothers yesterday~)
"Hey! At least we had fun~ right?"
"Cuquawked!" (Yep! That was fun~ until we came home late and, thanks to you, master, my father scolded all of us!)
"Hey, hey~ It's not just you. My mother also scolded me, Marcellus, and Cedric for coming home after dark."
Gracelle watched as Javier talked to Buddy, who just squawked back while walking with his usual confident, bouncy stride. She couldn't help but smile softly at the bond between them.
Heres moved his pekko closer, riding alongside them. "Little brother?"
"Hmm? What now, Heres?"
