Pigeons
...Pigeons.
Come to think of it, we were supposed to take some animals to Kaffaljidhma. And, well, this is an animal. Should we take it?
"Okay. Let's take this little guy. Time to go!"
Xelha couldn't help but stare as Kalas searched for a place to put the bird. Surely, after the last episode, he would know better than to... Oh, good.
"Kalas..." she started carefully, "why don't you try putting it in your hood, like I do with Meemai? It will be out of your way then, and besides, it would look cute."
He grimaced, cradling the ball of fluff in his hands. "Cute? Sorry, but I don't do cute."
"You never know until you try..." she pouted.
All hope seemed lost until he stopped to consider the suggestion, to her delight and surprise. At last he surrendered to her pleading eyes and poked-out lip. "If you say so... But you have to put the thing in, since it was your idea."
"Of course. Wouldn't want you to strain yourself reaching over your own shoulder, huh?" she grinned as he handed off the pigeon. She cupped it in her hands and moved around behind him, pleased that he had actually listened. Maybe her opinion mattered to him. Maybe he did care...
...Though he probably wouldn't appreciate the pigeon that was besieging his hair, hehe...
A/N: Wow, I wrote something fairly normal this time. Usually I only do morbid, slightly stalker-ish, wholly pathetic Kalas/Xelha. A new take on them, how exciting!
And at least Kalas isn't the main character in this one. :D
