He lets out a sigh as notifications continue to pop up on his phone a small smile forming on his face every time he sees a message from his little deranged birdie. They texted him almost every few minutes when they could.

"Are you going to visit them today?" his old mentor asks, causing him to glance over and smirk faintly.

"Birdie," he says softly approaching them. "I'm here.."
