Nabe let out a soft, lamenting caw.

Her family members seemed stressed and upset lately, and she didn't know why!

[nabeandfriends-archive]

The crow gingerly took the offered peanut from Annalise's fingers.

Her peanut now.

...

. . .

She wants to just keep holding it for later, but Nabe also doesn't want to be rude. So she eats the nut, fluffing up her damp feathers as best as she can, all so she can speak again. "Thank!"

"Here we go, open wide!" Annalise cooed, handing Nabe a nice peanut.

@dragonskxn replied to this post:

Offers a nice basket of berries and nuts for Nabe!

!!! "Treats!" She opens her beak wide in hopes Annalise will get the hint and give her one now.

Nabe is currently wrapped in a towel, sitting in a basket on the counter in the clinic's waiting room.

She took a bird bath and got all wet, now she's too cold to work.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

... Nabe knows she's not supposed to.

But she really wants to shoot him.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Can ask. Mom."

She tucked the shoe buckle underneath her wing, and it... vanished? Strange.

"Other world. Omni-on." The crow tilted her head, trying to focus her thoughts. Bigger words and sentences could be difficult at times.

Bah, it was better to get it over with.

She turned into her human form, sitting cross-legged on the floor as she stuffed the coin purse into her pockets. "Of course, that's not actually where Nabe's from? But she grew up there and she lives there, so as far as Nabe's concerned it's home."

The large pipe organ let a languid smirk cross his visage.

“Pleased to hear these meet your approval.”

A brow slowly quirked.

“I wonder if you need some assistance in getting any of these back to… wherever you come from?”

Forte wasn’t an uncurious person.  And as well, being stuck in the chapel room of his chateau in the form of a pipe organ was quite possibly the most boring thing imaginable.  Though he was effective at hiding it with his detached gentlemanly persona, Forte was desperate for something, anything, to occupy his mind with.

“Where do you come from, anyway?” he asked, politely as he could, “It isn’t often I can employ birds into my schemes.”

The sun is out, the sun is out!

The crow rushes through the house, her claws skittering against the floor.

A hop, into a short flight, and she landed on the windowsill, raising her head up to peer outside at the nest she'd left there the night before.

It worked! The Skyfall Beeps left Nabe presents!!

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Did you know that Beepmas was the very first holiday ever invented? Birds created holidays long ago, but then humans got jealous and tried to make their own."

The woman nodded, taking off her coat and folding it up. "See, Beepmas is extra special. It happens on the Longest Night - which is actually twice a year because of how globes work, which is kind of weird, Nabe still doesn't get how it can be different temperatures in different places if we all have the same sun."

Ah, she's gotten distracted.

"Anyway!! On the Longest Night, the Skyfall Beeps need to take a break, because in the cold they have to do lots of work to fix the sky after it falls down, so in order to help them, all the good birds of the world will build an extra nest and leave it out for the Skyfall Beeps to borrow!"

"And, if the Skyfall Beeps use your nest, they leave presents! Like seeds, and berries, and shinies! To thank you for making a very good comfy place to sleep."

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Tomorrow's Beepmas!!!!"

Panic!

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"He breaks into people's houses! That is not good people behavior!"

@project115 / @sins-of-the-sea

"Hey! What did Nabe say about fighting dragons?"

She comes running at them with the wrapping paper tube yet again.

"Don't! Hurt! Friends!"

"Hey! What did Nabe say about fighting dragons?"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

The crow will not be deterred.

"All! Dragons! Are! Friends! No! Fight! Dragons!"

... Wait is this about his attempts to save Christmas?

Regardless, the way she's swinging is almost like she intends to kill rather than simply 'playing'.

Get bonked, idiot.

(@nabeandfriends - Nabe)

She appears out of nowhere, menacingly brandishing her wrapping paper tube.

Rui's about to get bonked.

Oh, Ruixiong has no idea.

"Ohh, hello there, Nabe! You wanna play swords?~" He levitates a paper tube over to him without touching it. While still not handling it directly, he swings it lightly to tap onto Nabe's paper tube as though they are crossing swords. "Let's play!~"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Just because you were a person in the past doesn't mean that you can't be a dragon now. And even if you were mean and evil in the past doesn't mean you have to be now! Personally, Nabe thinks you're doing pretty good."

She put her hands behind her back, rocking on her heels.

"So you can be a real good friendly dragon if you want! Nabe believes in you."

"Herrnnng."

Alexander rumbles some sort of disgruntled deep reptilian sound in his throat, reluctant. He does try sometimes, people are just naturally caution and even scared of him. He wasn’t going to go out of his way to seek the boy out, if Xiaolong came to him, then that would be another story.

He watches Nabe change into a more human like appearance with mild curiosity before looking stoic again. The draconain was grateful for the manners at least.

“Lord Alexander, a pleasure.” He leans forward offering his talon for her to grab and shake. He had been called many names so the title ‘Big purple’ was not minded.

“I’m not a very good dragon, I’m not a real dragon. I was not born asone as I used to be human. And humans have evilness and hatred in their hearts, so perhaps there are evil dragons, they are just made.” He countered.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Try?" she asked, trying her best to give a pleading expression.

Difficult to do as a bird... As many things were.

With a sigh, she turned into her human form - a fairly drastic change in size from an ordinary crow to a six foot woman, but alas, some things couldn't be helped.

"See, Nabe figured you were just grumpy. She doesn't think there's such a thing as an evil dragon. All dragons are friends, deep down, you just gotta be nice to them sometimes first."

"Anyway, Nabe's name is Nabe! It's nice to meet you, Big Purple." She held a hand out to shake, even if it was still comically small compared to how large the demon in front of her was.

"Ah, yes, the screaming child who flees to the well when they spot me. That one." Alexander chuckles at the thought of Xiaolong.

"I have no interest in harming, sitting on , and otherwise eating the little hatchling. I may be a beast but I'm no monster." He huffs indignantly.

"Of course I'm a grump, I'm a king with a lot on my plate."

He shrugs at the suggestion of him even befriending the boy.

"A little difficult to do if he keeps running away everytime I even so much as breathe."

[nabeandfriends-archive]

Ah, so that's what the sound of a crow really screaming sounds like.

Free her.

Malik, in one swift motion, takes the wrapping paper tube. And proceeds to absolutely beat the crow out of Nabe with it. Platonicly and affectionately. Don't mind the pain. It just means he likes you.

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Nabe doesn't know who that is!" she declared, giving Xiaolong a gentle bonk with her weapon.

"But you can't just rely on one bird to deliver presents! That's not how Beepmas works?"

"They're keeping Santa hostage! And if Santa doesn't get out, no one can get presents!"

[nabeandfriends-archive]

"Are they evil? Or are they just grump! Big Purple was just a grump, you know!"

She waved the tube threateningly. "You don't know they're evil, you didn't try to talk at all!"

"But they're evil dragons!" He's running away. "They hurt me first!"
