Note: This chapter references a character from the tv series, Thundra. I just thought that ought to be mentioned.
Possessive
The gang seemed to expect Iago to be possessive of Abu, yet were always surprised when Abu acted jealous whenever Iago would show even the slightest interest in another. Abu didn't really understand their shock, because he'd always been prone to jealousy. Now, out of the two, Abu managed his envy better; not acting as possessive as Iago did. Still, he was quite capable of being possessive when the situation called for it, which showed when Thundra, quite unexpectedly, visited the palace.
Iago had, at one point, been in a relationship with the other bird, but when Iago hadn't heard from her in nearly a year, he'd assumed that she'd forgotten about him. Of course, his relationship with Abu had made that assumption a welcome one. So when Thundra visited, Iago was frantically trying to figure out how to, as he put it, 'let Thundra down easy.'
"I mean, what I'm I supposed to say - 'Sorry, Thundra, I'm in love with a monkey now?!'"
Abu shrugged. "Tat would be someting different for you - gust being honest," he teased.
"Jerk," the parrot muttered in reply.
In the end, Abu had come up with a simple solution. Granted, it might not be the most tactful way of dealing with things, but it was the easiest way to get the idea across. While Iago was trying - with no success - to explain the situation to Thundra, the little monkey came up behind him and wrapped his arms around the parrot.
"Mine."
-shrugs- I liked it. Even though it's a bit odd - I don't think it'd very off-base for Abu to do something like that.
