I can't believe it. He got me a falcon. I never have been one to cry, and right now my eyes are dry, but this is when I would definitely cry if I was normal.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." That is all I can manage to say. I am so frozen in my own shock, happiness, and... I just can't explain how grateful I am to him...
"Aren't you going to name him?" Dad asked. I thought about this and for some reason one name stuck to me...
"How about Fang?" I asked. I could sense my father tense like the name meant something, something big. His fear worried me. Then his mood changed; he had an idea. I wonder if I should be worried, or if he is hiding something.
"No, this is a bird, not a normal pet either. It shouldn't be named like one. It doesn't even have teeth." He reasoned.
That's true. They don't have fangs or even teeth, but... "but they do have talons." Talon. I like that sound. "That's his name now. Talon. I like that name, " and that was that. I noticed Dad go to his office, so I took Talon to my room. This is going to be awesome.

This is going to be terrible. I can't believe she remembers him. If she does really and truly recognizes that name, I need to worry. This is very bad. If she slowly remembers things, she will hate even more than before, and that hurt. I have had her for one year. That is almost as long the flock had her. No, don't think like that she won't remember. She can't. She doesn't know about her wings. She didn't know about the flock. Doesn't know about Itex. SHE NEVER WILL. She can't. What if she already does? No, she can't. She won't and she can't. Won't and she can't...

Talon is out of his cage. He seems happier now, and he is pretty tame, I think. I was dying to pet his feathers, so I slowly put my hand next to his wings. Just to put it out there, big mistake. He drew some blood, but once he realized what he was doing he backed off and looked guilty. Apologetic even. I went to the bathroom for bandages and when I came back, Talon was in his cage...hiding under his things and he put a new meaning to 'still as a stone'.
I walked over to him and and sat down next to the cage. I whispered to the bird,"it's ok. I'm not going to punish you. No need to panic, just don't do that again, ok?" Great, I'm talking to birds. What else is mentally unstable with me." You could've done worse, you know. I forgive you. If I was about to be touched by a random stranger and I were you, I might have some the same thing. No,I would have done worse and been proud."
Talon slowly came out of his cage and acted like he couldn't believe I said that. Eventually, and I mean I've seen turtles go faster, he was next to my leg. What he did next was totally unexpected.
