"You're okay, baby… Matthew's nice. He's not gonna hurt you." Rowan soothed Timmy softly, petting the chick's head again.
"You're okay, baby… Matthew's nice. He's not gonna hurt you." Rowan soothed Timmy softly, petting the chick's head again.
Timmy shifted a bit out of the pocket to stare up at Rowan. He didn't shrink away from either of them, but he obviously liked Rowan more.
"I think he's successfully been bonded to his papa," Matthew said with a soft chuckle.
"I'm glad~" Rowan purred softly. "I'll try my best to take care of them." He rubbed Timmy's head again and kept him close to himself.
Timmy snuggled into Rowan's body, humming in content. He looked up at Rowan with big green eyes.
"You'll be great at this, I just know it," Matthew said, smiling.
"However… We do need to get going. Shall we get them all settled in?" He picked Tammy off from on top of the nest, tucking her away inside.
"Yeah, we should… I might leave Timmy in my pocket, though. I don't think that he would try anything, and it seems like he wants to stay." Rowan hummed softly to himself.
"Okay! Just make sure to keep an eye on him to make sure he's safe." Matthew lifted the sleepy Tommy into the best, who curled up with his sister and effectively trapped her in the nest. Matthew chuckled at this.
"I will, Matthew. I'll keep a close eye on all of them." Rowan smiled gently and allowed Matthew to help him up onto the horse.
Matthew wrapped his arms around Rowan once they were on the horse, humming faintly. He had them set off, and he was humming a bit.
Rowan kept his eyes firmly on the chicks to make sure that they wouldn't try anything. "Do you think they'll be okay?"
"They'll be perfectly okay, especially with you as their papa." Matthew anime gently, resting his head on Rowan's shoulder and looking down at the chicks. Tammy was trying to get Tommy off of her, but the boy was stuck fast to her.
Rowan gently rubbed the chicks' heads. "Don't fight him, Tammy… he just wants to cuddle. Calm yourself." He rested his head against Matthew's.
Tammy huffed a bit, leaning into the petting. Tommy yawned again, and Tammy gave in, laying down with her brother and letting out another huff. Matthew chuckled gently, leaning into Rowan a moment.
Rowan kept one hand down by Tammy and Tommy so that they could cuddle up with it if they wanted. "When should we feed them next?"
"Well, once they get bigger in a day or two we could start them on more than just the bugs. Crumbs would be good." Tommy huddled up against Rowan's hand, bringing Tammy with him and sandwiching himself between the two.
Rowan nodded a bit. "Yeah, probably… but when's the next time that we should feed them today?" He asked. Just… when they seem to be hungry, or…?"
"Trust me, they'll let us know." Matthew chuckled a bit. "They eat every hour or so when they're awake."
"Alright, if you're sure… I don't want my babies to get hungry." Rowan smiled gently again and huddled a bit closer to Matthew.
Matthew nodded, tucking Rowan and the nest in his arms securely.
"I'm sure. They're just like avian babies like that." He smiled.
Rowan nodded a bit. "Do they get more feathers when they get older or do they just kinda stay like this?" He asked.
"They'll get their flight feathers, but other than that, no." Matthew hummed a bit. Timmy slowly stuck his head out from Rowan's pocket, looking up at them.
Rowan nodded again and gently pet Timmy's head. "Alright… what kinda little clothes are you gonna make for them?" He asked curiously.
"I'm best at making robes. Plus, it'll be better for them when they're flying." Timmy leaves into the pettings, close to falling out.
"Mm, true… careful, Timmy. You're too little to fall out." Rowan moved his hand back a bit to keep the chick closer to himself.
Timmy nuzzled Rowan's have, latching onto it after a bit.
"What colors do you think would look cute in them?" Matthew asked.
"Mmm… maybe some cool colors?" Rowan suggested. "Blue, green, and purple respectively?"
