"Mm…" Rowan stirred a bit, almost asleep by now. He was far too tired to properly reply to Matthew.
"Mm…" Rowan stirred a bit, almost asleep by now. He was far too tired to properly reply to Matthew.
Matthew smiled gently.
"Good night, Rowan," he said softly." he shifted so they were laying down, arms still securely around Rowan. Matthew hummed softly.
Rowan was soon fast asleep in Matthew's arms, and was still asleep when the other awoke. The chicks were settled in the nest, stirring, but all accounted for.
Matthew woke up early, as usual. He smiled faintly, his face resting in Rowan's hair. He laid there a moment with him, then slowly pulled away to keep an eye on the chicks and start breakfast.
Rowan stirred a bit when Matthew pulled away and whined, clinging tightly to the avian's leg to try and retain some warmth.
Matthew looked down at Rowan, chuckling softly. He ran his fingers through Rowan's hair, picking him and the nest up in one arm.
Rowan settled down again and smiled gently in his sleep when Matthew picked him up again, seeming to be content.
Matthew held Rowan close as he set about with breakfast. He started cooking it, smiling gently. He sat down again, wrapping both arms around Rowan and the nest.
After another half an hour or so, Rowan stirred again and opened his eyes sleepily, yawning a bit. "Mm… mornin', Matthew…"
Matthew looked down when Rowan spoke.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," he said with a soft chuckle. "Did you sleep well?"
"Mhmm…" Rowan nodded a bit and huddled a little closer to Matthew. "What time is it?" He asked softly. "Should we head out soon?"
"It's about an hour after sunrise. I've got breakfast ready, so once we feed the chicks and eat ourselves, we should head out." Matthew rested his head on Rowan's a bit.
"Mm… sounds good to me." Rowan yawned again with a soft sigh. "Do we have any extra grubs or do we need to go looking?"
"We have enough, but we should probably get some more before we leave." Matthew smiled a bit.
"Alrighty… maybe I can feed them while you go looking for more?" Rowan suggested in a soft voice.
Matthew nodded. He offered some food to Rowan first.
"We'll eat first," he said with a soft smile.
"Mmkay…" Rowan accepted the food from Matthew and slowly began to eat, still clearly sleepy.
Matthew smiled a bit at Rowan. He himself got some food, eating with Rowan in his lap.
Rowan soon finished his food and got himself more settled in Matthew's lap. "You're comfy~…"
"Why, thank you. You're welcome to sit with me like this any way you want." Matthew finished his food, resting his head on Rowan's.
"Mm… thanks, Matthew…" Rowan huddled a little closer with a soft smile. "Should we feed the chicks now?"
Matthew nodded. He grabbed the grub bag, which was almost empty.
"Here, we should wake them up now."
"Alrighty. Wake up, babies~" Rowan purred, gently rubbing each of the chicks' heads. "It's breakfast time!"
Tammy was the first to wake up, yawning. She looked up at Rowan, grinning. Timmy was next, sitting up groggily with his brother clinging to him. It was hard to tell if Tommy was awake or not.
"Y'all hungry?" Rowan asked with a soft smile, dangling a grub over Tammy's head. "You gotta eat before we head out again."
