章 296: Sometimes, you just forget; it happens...right?

[Master!]

"Oh, you're awake," I welcomed the little bird into my arms, who as usual headbutted me as a greeting. Whether in a bird form or a boy form, Jade was still Jade. "How are you feeling?"

[Little tired!]

"Slightly tired?"

[Yes!] The green head bobbed up and down. [Human form is tiring! But fun!]

"Oh? What's fun about it?" I asked while bringing Jade and Ignis to the balcony, enjoying our afternoon tea with a taste of winter's sunlight. 

[Jade get to talk with everyone!] the little bird replied enthusiastically, flapping its wings until a small gust appeared. [Jade can only talk with Master and Ignis and Vrida in this form!]

"Ah, that's right," I nodded in approval. "It's indeed nice being able to talk with a lot of people."

As long as it was done in a controlled environment, at least for me. Once I was thrown into a crowd, suddenly I wouldn't like to talk anymore.
