It was a lovely day out, although it would have to be for Neera to be outside. She did not like rain, or heat, or cold... but today is was practicly perfect. Thus, she was out in the garden which were in bloom. The jewelry around her ankles jingling merrily as she trotted along the marble paths that led around a fountain and through the rose hedges and other various ornate lants.
A light breeze blew through her white, chocolate striped fur, carrying with it the scent of fragrant flowers. The metal decorations on her body glinted in the sunlight, while her earstook in the sounds of the chirping birds in the trees above.
Eventually, she laid herself down upon a royal blue lounging cushion set near the fountain. A soft and graceful smile adorning her lovely face as she quietly observed her surroundings and enjoyed basking in the sun. It was a perfect day indeed.

Neera's perfect day is about to become not quite so perfect.
Taj is bumbling his way distractedly through the gardens when he sees he spies his little sister enjoying altogether too much peace and quiet.
Which is provocation enough for harassment.
Taking a moment to slick back his fine feathers, he trots up, eyes narrowed mischieviously, to crowd her off of her cushion.
"So, Sis," he wheedles, lounging close beside her, and then carefully pushing her away, "How's the weather around that big fat head of yours? I tell you, it's dull dull dull. Not a thing going on. Do you mind?" He pushes her off of the remaining bit of cushion and claims it for his own.

Eyes are closed as she quietly and happily basks in the sun, streched languidly upon her cushion.... which is quite suddenly and rudely invaded by one of her brothers.
Eyes open wide and her feathers lift in a displeased and threatening manner as Taj pushes his way onto her cushion. "I DO MIND!" she snapped, "How dare you invade a ladie's space! UGH!" And then she's pushed off completely to flop upon her side on the GROUND... heaven forbid.
"GET OFF! That's my cushion you... you... impudant rude brother! TAJ~!" Growling and hissing, Neera paced around the cushion, poking and prodding and pushing at him to get him to move. This is so not fair! Why did she have to live with so many stupid boys!

"I'm sorry, but it just didn't look like you were too keen on being here," Taj replies, flopping his whole body over the bed and holding onto it with his front claws. He knows that he's bigger than she is, and that no amount of shoving can unseat him.
"Is it your cushion? I didn't see your name on it. Ahhhh, it's niiiice here. Nice and sunny. I do believe this is the best place in the garden. Mmmmmmm....." He closes his eyes indolently and spreads his wings a little to collect the warm rays.
Having sufficiently ruined his sister's day, Taj becomes amiable and conversational. "The palace has been crawling with guards lately. Any notion as to why? I almost stepped on one this morning. He was sitting behind a potted plant, or some such thing. Probably shirking. I certainly gave HIM a piece of my mind!"
One of Taj's favorite activities is tormenting the guards and servants. He knows that he and his siblings are under full protection of the high rajah, and can be harmed under no circumstances, giving him the unfair advantage in any 'argument'. The humans, of course, can't understand his exact words, but they certainly get the jist.

"Does it look like I care?" she snapped back, eyes narrowed in anger. "Just wait till mother hears about this. You boys are always picking on me! Well I won't have it." Sticking her beak in the air snobbily, Neera turned around and proceeded to stalk off with her 'higher than thou' attitude. Jingling the entire way.
All she wanted was to enjoy the sunshine and now that's been positively ruined! Well she wouldn't give Taj the satisfaction of a conversation or even her presence so that he could mock her further. Nope. She was going elsewhere, likely to tattle on him.

"Oh, wah waaah. You're such a little chick! Must you always run cheeping to mum? Way to do anything yourself." He hisses after her and then settles back down onto the cushion to soak up the sun.
That is, until he realizes that she really intends to follow through with her threat. Getting in trouble doesn't sound like very much fun. He jumps up and trots after her, sliding in front of her before she can make it back into the palace, blocking her way. "Don't be a child. Tell you what. I'll give you half of the cushion, if you're so broken up about it."

Neera trotted along with her head held high and step full of intent to get her brother in trouble for making her miserable. That is until, he blocks her path, and trying to make a deal.
"No. I was there first. Hmph!" Without even looking at him, she tries to walk around her brother in order to pass him. She wasn't going to make deals with rude brothers that push their sisters off their happy places.
It was all or nothing.

Taj steps back in her way as soon as she tries to pass him. "Geez, you are such a little whiner!! you are absolutely the lamest, most pathetic sibling. You bother Mum with your crying and bitching ALL the TIME, and she is soooooo sick of it! " He glares down at her with disgust.
"All this over a stupid cushion! I've never met such a little complainer in all my life! You're even a bigger baby than Zarin is. Besides," he adds, a new thought occuring to him, "if you go squealing, I'll just tell her that you want the cushion all to yourself. You'll get in just as much trouble."

Neera narrowed her eyes in a glare, "A whiner? I takes one to know one! You're just trying to get out of it... well I'm sick of you boys picking on me all the time. I was just minding my own business and you pushed me off the cushion! Some brother you are!" She then rolled her eyes, "You are so stupid."
With that, she took a few steps back and then flew over her brother to continue her way towards the palace. Her tail flicking with aggitation.
