Everett hooted in Hikaro's ear. He forgot that he was still on his arm. "Tell me, you can. Wrong, what is it?" he said, wondering what the problem was.

((Oh yeah, I did forget. sweatdrop ))
Pausing to hover in the air, he glanced at the owl, who suprisingly kept a firm grip on his forearm. He expected the exceptionally intelligent bird to have flown already. The anger from his eyes melted away quickly, replaced by a slight look of shame.
"I don't know, really, something about her..." He said, shooting a look to liberty, "Suddenly infuriated me. I...I can't place why, I mean, she didn't do anything." He said, peeking into the owl's large eyes. Everett was truly a lovely bird. He reached over to stroke the feathers along his back, soft and familiar.
"I guess with Ryo's leaving, and Raissen's problems, I feel like my whole family's been breaking apart. And then, I look at her, and I see a girl who people all flock to to help, because she's cute, and shy." He paused again, lost in thought.
"I don't know."

"Problems with Raissen, there are?" Everett hooted, then shook his head. That could lead to trouble, so put it at the back of his mind, then resurface it when he gets back, to at least give Ryo a fair warning. But it'd be a while before they do get back. That village was a while away. He tried to think about Liberty, and why Hikaro was acting this way. He wasn't really sure. Now he wished he was back in the woods with the annoying Chirra, or some other creature that was friendly. "Jealous, I think you are. People to help you, you wish you had. Sadly, none to help you, you think there are. Wrong, you are though. Sitting on your arm is one," he hooted.

"Yeah, I suppose. The feelings come and go, and usually I just fly about until it passes. What do you do when you feel stressed?" He inquired of the owl, slowly decending in altitude, powerful golden wings making the trip smooth and easy.
Hikaro's eyes resumed the gentle and warm honey color they so often retained, and he smiled a little.
"You're a good friend." He said after a while.

Everett looked left and right, before answering, "Mean me, you do. Either go for a long flight or squeeze one of these, I do." He spun the canister around so it was on his stomach, he opened it with his talons and pulled out a stress ball, then gave it to Hikaro and whipped around the canister again. "For you, the ball is. Stress goes away, when you squeeze it. Petting a cat also relieves stress, I have heard," he hooted.

Hikaro took the ball gratefully, marveling at the texture. It was rubbery, and soft, and squished very easily. Gripping it, he experimentally gave it a squeeze, to see how durable it was. Although it popped out around his fingers, it seemed immortal.
"Do you have more of these at home? I can't take it if this is your only one." He said, thinking about the cat back at home. Isaura was often roaming about, large tabby cat he was.

"Plenty, yes. Always ripping them up, I am. Sharp, my talons are," he said, holding up his talons to see.

"Ah yes." Hikaro said. Although Everett's talons were indeed maliciously dangerous looking and sharp, he seemed to have superb control of them, and was not currently decimating his forearm.
Hikaro poked at one of the talons in admiration.
"You take good care of them though, I see."

"I do, indeed. Not easy, it is. 1/2 an hour, it takes, to get them sharp and strong," Everett hooted. A few beeps went off on his canister. "Be going, I should. Other messages, I have. If you need help, go to address." He spread his wings and turned around, flapping his wings and leaving Hikaro's arm and towards the city.

Liberty looked nervous, "I'm sorry.. really I am... if I make you uncomfortable just let me go and I promise I won't bother you again..."

Raven watched the two idly, before picking up the burning feather, before it burst into flame again, and almost seemed to be melting, causing Raven to yelp loudly. "What the-?!!?"
The feather writhed as it burned, as something seemed to be almost.... growing from it. It was almost gross looking, or so Raven had felt, watching bone.. and muscule... and tissue... all this start growing from it, therefore the dark Hououza instinctively covered Liberty's eyes so she wouldn't have to watch.
After almost five minutes, a little sunburnt looking girl with orange hair and eyes sat in a patch of scorched grass and stared at the little group that seemed to be around her, before bursting into insane giggles and flapping her underdeveloped wings.

Liberty pretty much screamed, putting her hands over her mouth and she fell away as Raven covered her eyes, she fell to see the little firey girl and she looked wide eyed.

Hikaro watched the proceedings with unmasked curiosity. Surely, he had gone through the same transformation, when he was formed? Drifting back down to them, he looked slightly ashamed still.
"Do forgive me for acting rash." He said, peering to the hououza whom was a mass of flames and embers. Her bright colors attracted his eye, she was a curious thing indeed.

Pyre stuck her tounge out at the group, before bouncing to her feet and latching to Raven's arm, before she burst out into a mass of flames, causing her brother to start to scream, then pull his arm away from her, rubbing the mass of ash that was starting to replace his flesh periodically.
Raven puffed up his cheeks irritably. "I think she's doing that to me for fun.."

Liberty frowned a little and she looked terrified. "...that's horrible!"
