"Am I really going to be able to see him in his real form?" I chuckled.
"Real enough really." I landed right outside his Warren before holding Jamie to my chest and flying straight into the tunnels, landing in the center of his den, I guess you could call it.
"What are you doing here mate?" Kangaroo demanded, furiously. I smiled, opening my arms to show Jamie on a pillar of snow.
"I'm not here to cause trouble. Relax, mate." I replied, using his own accent against him. He bounded over to us and I noticed the eggs running around. I laughed, smiling, before poking Jamie. "Wanna play?" I asked, locating an egg and began to run after it. It walked for a second before noticing me, it turned and ran away like I was a fox. I laughed even more, chasing it as fast as I could before I came face to face with one of the stone 'warrior' eggs. I raised my arms defensively. "Okay, I'm sorry. I wasn't going to do anything." It put its hands on it's hips and tried to grab me. I lifted my staff and blasted it away from me and it went back a few feet before I turned and ran from it, it chased after me. It felt like a game of chase.
However I ran right into Kangaroo and fell down. "I thought you said you weren't going to cause trouble."
"Sorry. Jamie? You wanna try?" He was playing with the eggs. I chuckled and walked over to him. The eggs saw me and hid under him. I sat down, trapping them. "Hey Bunny, you lay these eggs or do they drop out of the sky?" I asked, gently poking one of the eggs. It slowly came back out as Jamie sat down instead of crouching.
"I don't lay the eggs, Jack."
"Can I have my own egg?"
"Sure, there are plenty, especially since he gives them away every year."
"That's my decision."
"Yeah but you can't blame him for asking. Though with his home temperature, I bet he wants me more than you." I spat my tongue out at him and he bristled. I chuckled again before turning to the eggs again. He bounded over and grabbed one of his eggs, handing it over.
"Sure. You can have one, you can even paint it. Over there with those flowers." Jamie got up and ran off, leaving me alone with Bunnymund. I pulled out the paint set and threw it at his face.
"Here, you are a terrible painter. Start from the basics." I grabbed my staff and flew off to Jamie's side, an actual fight in front of him would be bad. He was already finished painting it and was now just sitting there. "What's wrong?" Bunny noticed too and came over, landing near him.
"What's up mate? Glad to see you got it colored."
"I'm waiting for the paint to dry. I want it to be pretty." I looked closely and noticed it was painted like one of those tank toys he played with earlier.
"The paint's dried the instant it gets out of the water. Check yer hands if ya doubt me." He smiled and Jamie did as asked and I sat down on his other side, watching.
"You're right! How does that work?"
"Happy magic." I replied. Kangaroo glared at me. "What? You would have explained it, sure, but he'd have no idea what you're talking about." I smiled before looking at Jamie. "Anything else you want to do here?"
"I do." He turned to Kangaroo and continued. "Can I… ride on you?" He asked nervously. "My sister had a dream about it and I wanted to do it too." Bunny smiled.
They'd raced around for quite some time and when Bunny actually tired out, he stopped and Jamie got off. I landed right by him. Bunny sat down. Jamie was now more hyped than ever. He hugged Bunny and they embraced each other. I grabbed the bag and floated slowly over to Jamie.
"Thanks, Bunny."
"You're welcome mate." Bunny smiled and then Jamie turned to me.
"Wanna go now?" I asked. He grabbed hold of his egg gently and nodded. I helped him get on and flew him off to see the Palace.
