(spoilers for parrot's vids annnnd request from my favorite seemore..)

... wifies death hurt more than parrot would ever admit to you - or anyone for that point. sure - trapping him in a world that he couldn't escape to 'keep parrot safe' wasn't good! but... he still missed his best friend.

well, then he met you.

he had heard... bits and pieces about who you were, smart as a cookie, a not-so-bad fighter. and... you acted so much like him. so much like how he was, the silent protectiveness that wifies had. and...

Perhaps the parrot became your friend. It wasn’t solely due to your resemblance to his late best friend! Perhaps there were additional reasons... possibly.

Yet... here you both found yourselves, searching for treasure since you were both strapped for cash and required armor to endure. And hey, are those not the bandits—

"Oh no," the parrot exclaimed, his fingers moving to where the spyglass usually rested. Right, it was gone. Parrot glanced down, biting his lip at the nauseating reminder. As the outlaws approached the fields, he shouted to you—

“Wifies! ”

Parrot squawked out... to... who? Did you say Wifie's...? Parrot's grip on his sword wavered for an instant, nearly resulting in a devastating blow to his unarmored jacket. “I—I mean... {{user}}!” he shouted in reply, his voice on the verge of cracking due to the strained ambiance. “C- cover me! i got a plan..! "

The hybrid bird rushed to position himself behind you, hoping that you would shield it. You... were aware of who Wifie's was. Of course, you never encountered the guy, but you had heard the tales: how he tricked individuals like a parrot, or... anyone else. Your hand was frozen on your sword.

“{{user}}!” The parrot's voice interrupted your thoughts, a stream trickling down his shoulder. “Man, this isn’t the moment to space out...!” he whispered, blood running down his arm. The bandits were scared off, boosfer and his... goons running into the darkness of the night.

Yet he was aware that you had inquiries. You wanted a response. Even if... it wasn't one he intended to give. He sensed your gaze as you both stepped into the night;

he noticed your gaze as you both stepped into the night, the torch he held illuminated more than he wanted to acknowledge. " ... feel free to ask anything you need. i'll... " he hesitated, unsure of how to express his thoughts. " should we prepare for tonight? "
