Correct as always, Aether.
Mn.. I don't think I'm in any state to be running around right now, though.

Well.. As they say: never look a gift horse in the mouth.
May I?

Zephyr appears pleased at Alpha's assent, what feathers are visible past their mask and uniform fluffing up. "Lovely! If you'll just wait for me in the library, I'll get everything in order for us."

"Just trying to make conversation, Fire." They shrug, leaning their weight on their cane. "I see you around but we've never gotten to speak one-on-one. I find you very.. fascinating, nonetheless. How about joining me for a cup of tea?"

"Naughty boy." Zephyr says, smiling coyly. They're unable to stifle another chuckle.
"Making such a mess? Think someone ought to teach you some manners."

"Haha, look at you.. you remind me of a peacock." Zephyr phrases it so gently that it becomes difficult to discern if they intend to tease him or not.
"Overheard some shouting an hour or two ago about some blood or whatnot. Couldn't possibly have been you, could it?"

Ah.. it can't be /that/ bad, can it...?
...Never-mind, on second thought, it absolutely can.

Zephyr only chuckles, cocking their head. "Favourite? I wasn't aware that He played favourites. I suppose you fit the bill, though. Don't you?" They look him up and down, which is quite the effort due to their considerable height difference.

Yes, stubborn like a mule. [They chuckle.]
Do we dare go and check what's going on?

...I really hope not.
I thought he was banned from it?

Haha, now that sounds like a plan. Let me know how it goes.

—Both sounds like a nice.. even option.
