The little cottage belonging to Filia Ul Copt was abnormally quiet. Inside its kitchen, there were three figures sitting at (or on) the table. The blonde sipped quietly at a cup of tea, glaring over the rim at the purple haired fellow across from her, who was also sipping at tea. Only he was grinning, apparently delighted with current events. Sitting upon the table was a cage, containing a rather distressed looking feather diprived. bird. All was quiet, until…

"How do you plan on taking care of the bird, namagomi?", said Filia, attempting to keep her voice steady and calm.

Xellos grinned and replied,"Sore wa-"

He didn't get much further. O.o; The annoyed dragon maiden had swung her mace-sama full force into his purple haired head. Xel went flying (still grinning) and waving across the room, finally stopping when he hit a wall ("ARGH!! I POLISHED THAT TOO!!!").

Xel was pleased with himself! Not only had he gotten Filia to hit him with her mace, buy him a now naked parrot, and waste to afternoon with him; he had also made a Xel shaped dent in the wall, staff and all (Ooh! That rhymes..)! ^-^

Still grinning, Xel got himself off and out of the wall and sat back down for more tea.

"I want a straight answer…", hissed Filia, irritated and annoyed from the tip of her toes to her blonde pigtails. (Isn't irritated and annoyed the same thing? O.o;)

Xellos smiled, innocently and replied cooly,"It's always nice to name things before you blow them to oblivion, so…"

**BANG!!!**

Filia forced mace-sama into Xel's head yet again! Having made her point in a single action, the Ryuuzoku girl began to consider Xellos's sarcastic idea.

"I know!", cried Filia as a lightbulb appeared above her blonde head,"How about Kiri-chan?" ^.^ (That's for you, Angel-san!)
