"Compassion"

Jewel? - Blu said timidly. Actually, he saw her. But it was not the same as before. Her old eyes filled with heat, her energy, way to live, joy, everything was replaced by sorrow, sadness, despair. The eyes were full of sadness, empty. She had no energy, she moved slowly, heavily, as if she had several thousand kilometers of a murderous trip behind her. Generally it was empty, it produced an air of sadness, regret, and despair. From time to time, she looked at her wing, which was wrapped in a bandage.

-Oh, hey Blu. - Jewel said without a lifetime, then went to the lake, looking at the surface of the water.

- 1 month ... month ... - she mumbled to herself. Blu decided to comfort her. He flew over to her, but she did not even turn around, it did not matter to her whether someone was sitting next to her or not. Blu began to talk stressed out.

-Jewel, I see that something is wrong, you can tell me. - He said.

-You see Blu, I'm trapped here for 1 month, my wing is now wrapped with some "bandages" as people call it something - she said.

- It can not be that terrible. - said Blu a little lost, not knowing what to say.

-Sure, no, I could be here for two months with two wings in bandages - Jewel snorted.

"Hey, you took care of me when we were chained to each other, I will not leave you like this, I will come to you every day if you like," Blu said in a gentle tone, gaining some confidence.

-Ohhh ... it's clear he wants ... thanks Blu - she said in a charming tone, a warm smile appeared on her face. They looked at each other in the crystal water. Jewel raised her head to see the sky dotted with stars and the beautiful moon, but she saw only the bare ceiling, hung with a few lamps and in some places exposed cables from illumination.

Blu, taking advantage of moments of Jewel's inattention, decided to approach her. However, he was still afraid to hug her, reminding the scene of their first meeting.

"I do not think we're ready yet," Blu thought, disappointed. Blu looked at Jewel, she seemed so cute.

"She's so beautiful," he murmured to himself.

-You can repeat? - Jewel said when she heard Blu something mumbles, fortunately he did not know what he was saying.

-I? Em ... I ... I'll be right back ... "he stammered, embarrassed by Blu. Blu flew off, flew to the tallest tree in their room, then holed up in the leaves to take her delicacy for Brazilian Jewel, the Brazilian nut. He flew up to her, giving her wings.

"I thought you were hungry ... you should eat something," Blu said with a caring voice.

- All in all, I can have a bite to eat, thanks to Blu. she said again, smiling at his side. Every smile on her face caused light shivers on Blu's body. Every time he looked at her, he wanted to confess his love for her, but he was still afraid of her reaction. Blu really remembered the situation exactly how he wanted to kiss her, after which he was attacked by her.

"... you'll finally learn what it's like to be such a flightless," Blu chuckled.

-Well ... it will be interesting for sure I know - also Jewel chuckled. However, Blu began to think.

-How do you think Jewel, I did not overdo what I did for Nigel? Most likely, I murdered him - he said with remorse that tormented him. Jewel gently embraced his arm, Blu felt uncomfortable, but tried not to show it to her.

-Blu, you did what you had to do. If not for this move, you will most likely be killed, anyway. - servant noticed Jewel.

"Yes ... you're probably right, as always," said Blu.

-Ehh ... silly Blu - she said charmingly looking at Blu, who was blushing. There was silence, from time to time we could hear voices of other birds that were in nearby halls. Blu noticed that Jewel was slowly falling asleep.

-Jewel ... can I do something for you yet? - Blu asked tenderly.

-No ... I think I'm going to sleep ... - she said a little sadly, knowing that she would have to part with Blu for 1 night.

- Can he move you there? - he said, pointing his wing at a large hollow for one bird.

-No, you have to, but thanks for Blu's concern. she said when she began to walk slowly toward the tree to get stuck to the hollow. She came to the tree as she looked at the entrance to the hollow, which was a few meters above the ground.

"Maybe, I'll ask Blu for help ... I will not do it," thought Jewel confidently.

She began to climb. First attempt. She dug her nails into the tree, but she slipped off immediately. Blu watched this situation, he laughed a little, but covered his beak with his navy blue wing. Second try. A small piece came, but a short moment of inattention was enough to try to grip again and start again. Third attempt. Jewel had already been rather subdued by her helplessness, which was evident from her expression, and her face seemed to be a little red. Blu noticed it, and then he began to worry that he would do anything wrong. She stuck her claws using a little more force, she began to climb, she was even far away when she fell on the damaged wing.

Oh! Jewel gasped in pain.

-Jewel! - Blu shouted, coming up to her. He picked her up and then looked at her sick wing.

-All right? - Blu asked.

"Yes ... but maybe take me ... please," Jewel said disappointedly. Blu took it gently into its claws and flew to the hollow, laying it aside.

- Are you happy? Maybe I can recommend a blanket and a pillow for you? - Blu asked feverishly.

"No, it's good, thanks again, Blu," she said, closing her eyes.

"Good Jewel ..." said Blu.

-Dobranoc Blu ... Blu? - Jewel said.

-Yes? he said to her, looking at her.

- Could you ... or ... it does not matter, goodnight ... until tomorrow. - she said knowing that this proposal would scare Blu.

During those days spent together, she managed to learn a lot about him. He was very shy, he was afraid of love affairs, which was obvious, he never had the opposite sex.

-Simple ... goodnight Jewel. - he answered the same by flying out of the room, flying to the next room, where he was waiting for him already prepared a cage to sleep. Jewel noticed that he had been left alone to the edge of his yacht and looked away.

-Eh ... Blu ... so that you know what you feel ... - Jewel sighed to herself, returning to the hollow, falling asleep.

Blu was still sitting in his cage, thinking constantly about Jewel.

"Maybe tomorrow ... I'll tell ... I have to tell her, I have to ..." said Blu, covering himself with a blanket that was specially sewn by Linde for him.
