Dorm Lobby, Monday After Classes

[swerval_zero]

Zero set up camp at a card table with a hand-lettered sign on the front:

EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE!
Sign this petition to show you want Alec to stay
Get a discount on admission to my new movie!

He does not have hairy toes!

It's not a bribe, it's an incentive.

Oh, yeah, she also had a basket of lollipops for petition-signers.

"Cool. What sort of bird is it?"

[swerval_zero]

"Leadbeater cockatoo. I think. He's pink."

Ami heartily approved of the color. "Cool. Can i see him sometime?"

[swerval_zero]

"Sure!" Zero said. "I need to get him out and about more, anyway. He gets bored cooped up in my room an' then he starts askin' me if I'm his mummy at three AM an' then it all just goes to hell."

Ami giggled. "And what do you tell him?"

[swerval_zero]

"I can always send him back to Hong Kong."

"I that where he is from? No wonder he curses in Japanese, he is from the right part of the world."

[swerval_zero]

Zero shrugged. "He curses in several languages. Honestly, I don' know where he picks up half of it. I blame my brothers."

"Do they curse in many languages too?" Ami giggled. Almost anything in the world could be blamed on brothers in theory.

"I think they look up new stuff just to teach my bird," Zero said with a fond snicker.

Ami chuckled. "Sometimes, i am glad i do not have siblings."
