What would happen if Eduardo still did not accept the Blu after the fight against the woodcutters?

The author's notes: The action of the chapter takes place a few hours after the fight with the woodcutters

Blu, Jewel and the children were at Roberto's house, talking and playing. Thanks to the success of the fight against the lumberjacks, Roberto, who no longer showed any fear, came to them after a while.

"Please, please, you gave a show of Blu, bravo!" said Roberto when he stood in the doorway. Everyone looked at him and a smile came on their beaks, except for Blu, who felt uncomfortable at the moment.

"Hello" answered Blu. Roberto, in an agile motion, sat down next to the children, hooking them up in the meantime, making them happy.

"I know, Blu, that you probably don't like me very much."

"Why, you're cool," interrupted Blu.

"That's even better... Finishing up. I wanted to apologize and congratulate you. I thought at first, just like Eduardo, that you prefer people, that you're not fit for our herd... But this action showed all the qualities that any real male spix Macaw should have," said Roberto. Blu smiled when he heard these compliments. He was very pleased and finally felt accepted, especially by Roberto, this is a big plus. However, his joy was a bit dirty with thoughts about Eduardo, who, as you can see, stayed with his thinking.

"And how does my daddy still think that?" Jewel interjected.

"You know how he is... He leaves his thoughts to himself and rarely changes them," said Roberto sighing.

"That's what I said," laughed Blu in his head. After a few minutes, Mimi, Aunt Jewel, flew into the flat. She greeted everyone and, like Roberto, congratulated Blu on his courage and criticised Eduard's attitude.

"Old grandfather, don't worry about him. The important thing is that you love each other," Mimi said while looking at the Blu and Jewel sitting next to each other. When she said that they touched each other's beaks.

"Of course we love each other", Jewel giggles.

"Oh how sweet... That's Blu, tell me what happened up there when you flew off with dynamite."

Blu started to tell us how he took a few sticks of dynamite, and flew up when he then noticed a bird climbing up on the dynamite. It turned out to be Nigel!

"Who is this Nigel?" asked Mimi.

"An old friend" laughed Blu.

"Killer friend" added Jewel. Mimi made a questioning expression on her face. It was clear that she had to be explained. Roberto also listened to them at the time, but sometimes it seemed as if he was floating away in his mind. This is because when Blu answered, Jewel took a look at Robert, who was looking at the wall and scratching his beard.

"It was a few years ago... In Rio, I was chained up with Jewel."

Then Blu continued the whole story until he stopped on stage when he jumped off a burning plane.

"Ah, I remember when you jumped off the plane for me... Now how cute I think about it," commented Jewel.

"If I had to, I would do it again," replied Blu.

"Awww" everyone sighed when they heard Blu's words. It made such an impression on him that he blushed. He tried to cover it up, but he did not succeed.

"I love you silly," said Jewel kissing him on the cheek. They talked like that for the next few hours. There were several different topics that contained sub-themes and so on. At sunset, Roberto decided to leave the conversation.

"It was nice to talk, but I have to meet another gentleman," said Roberto and then left the flat. He went all the way to the other side of the settlement to talk to this gentleman, Eduardo. He stood in front of his house every evening and watched his village.

"So beautiful... Calm... Safe" mumbled Eduardo.

"Thanks Blu" was interrupted by Robert coming up to Eduardo.

"Are you really going to keep pretending he's not here? He's your daughter's husband."

"He is not one of us, he is domesticated"

"He was domesticated. He lives in the jungle. What do you expect from him?"

"Nothing, nothing will change him."

"If not for him, we could lose half of ours. Do you really underestimate his effort?"

"You would have done it yourself."

"Well, no... I chickened out then... If it hadn't been for Blu, I'd have been run over by an excavator."

Eduardo sighed hard. He did not turn his head, he continued to look at the settlement and the birds that were flying from one side to the other.

"Everyone has a place in this world. I am on my own, and so are you... Blu..."

"You must appreciate that he left people for Jewel, your daughter. He's the perfect candidate for her."

"You too..."

"That was at least six years ago... It doesn't matter now. Appreciate the fact that you have such a brave bird in your family."

At the end of this conversation, Roberto came closer to Eduard and patted him on the back.

"You've already lost Jewel once, don't make it a second time."

A few hours later

Jewel and Blu, like the previous night, were lying on the threshold and talking. The children were already sleeping.

"Will you like it here?" asked Jewel.

"Ekh... Give me some time, Jewel, okay? I lived with people for 15 years, so..."

"I understand... But if you want to go back to Rio, tell me."

"Okay... I will say..." sighing Blu. He kissed Jewel on the head. A few minutes later Jewel fell asleep and Blu also almost fell asleep, but he heard the flutter of his wings. He noticed Eduard, who landed on the platform by the hollow.

"Is he asleep?" asked Eduardo. Blu nodded with his head movement.

"Listen, Blu, I do not want to bother you at this hour, but I want to say one thing. You better not let Jewel down, he wants the best for her. I cannot change my mind that you are a domesticated bird... I do not want to make the conflict worse, or worse still, to start an argument, but let us not change our contact, let it remain as it is... It's just for the best."

"I want the best for Jewel too. Okay, as you wish," sighed Blu. Eduardo said goodbye to Blu and flew away, disappearing a moment later in the dark.

Epilogue

It is another beautiful day in the Amazon. Blu did not sleep until noon anymore, what is more, he woke up in front of every householder. It was another day to celebrate Blu's freedom and courage. Everyone seemed to be happy, except for Eduard, who walked for the rest of the week in distraction. Roberto tried several times to convince Eduard to Blu, but he was constantly in his thoughts. Mimi and Jewel also helped. Eduard was repelled by the idea that Blu had closer contact with people... In his opinion, it was a flaw. Blu did not talk to Edaurdo very often, they only exchanged 'good morning' and 'goodbye'. Somewhere in all this Blu felt rejected, but he did not care much about it, everyone started to accept him...

Thanks for reading the chapter! See you later!
