(Amaia)
I spend the night in the infirmary and TJ discharges me the next day with strict instructions on a slip.
No combat for a week.
No physical punishments for a month.
I thank the kind healer before leaving the infirmary and head over to my room.
Suddenly, I hear the fluttering of wings, and Zille appears out of nowhere.
~Coo~
He utters what seems like a happy sound and settles on my shoulder.
"Zille!" I excitedly reach out and pat his shiny bluish black feather covered back.
He melts under my touch, closing his eyes he just rubs his beak on my ear.
His wound seems to have recovered and he appears perfectly healthy.
"Did you miss me?" I ask with a smile, loving his affection and he just coos in response.
Both of us arrive back in our room and he returns to the small bird house Kacir has bought for him. It's painted black and red and rests on the corner table along with Zille's food and water dishes.
