Chereads / The Deeds Of Angie Dee / Chapter 4 - Interlude, Bird

Chapter 4 - Interlude, Bird

"You shall now have the honor of knowing my name, my dear boy. My name is Noami Del Rio, my kind may be from Greece, but I was born in Mexico, and yes I sure can dance fu fu fu fu" said the arrogant siren. She then gestured her hand towards Walter, her palm facing the checkerboard tiled floor.

Walter looked at her delicate hand and then focused his attention to her eyes, seeing her patience drain he finally got the memo of her culture.

"Walter Wings Winthrop at your service Miss Rio," he said as he gently kissed the back of her hand, "my, my, Miss Rio, your opisthenar is utterly soft".

"Aww dearie, you sure know how to flatter a lady, you may call me Lady Noami," she said with a smirk.

"As you wish, Lady Noami," said Walter full of respect as he watched her take a seat at his bed.

"Sit down boy, let me tell you more about myself so I may earn your full trust," Naomi said, guiding him with her hand, and angelic voice to sit next to her on his stiff bed.

Walter stood back up, in a panic, all flustered he asked: "may I offer you a drink first, Lady Naomi?".

"No thank you, we don't have much free time, so I prefer if you sit down with me and hear me out" she stated.

Walter sat back down, but keeping his distance, he nodded, signaling her to continue her interlude.

"Huff, well as I confessed before, I am a true Siren, not one created in a lab from the Ulysses Foundation, those planet Petra dweebs" she scoffed, crossing her arms. "Let me go a little tangent, as you may know, this planet is only a few centuries old, unlike my home planet earth, which is eons old. Well, Kalika has adopted one of Earth's past cultures, the industrial phase, but with more style and flair, I guess. Now back to me, I originally came to check on my dear friend Alfred and give him tabs on Constantia, Owen, and Melani. I regret I can not give you more information about them due to my promise to Alfred. I can tell you about Owen because he is my dear cousin, but he takes the appearance of a swan, unfortunately, his whereabouts are restricted from your knowledge until further notice. There I went again on a tangent, oh boy, how am I supposed to keep secrets. Anyways, as you already witnessed my amazing voice, and how I can soothe you with it. That is just something sirens are capable of. It would be a shame if this power got into the wrong hands. I need to be protected for a while until my problem blows over. I will look like a Livilla whenever a company other than Alfred and yourself are present. Speaking of Alfred, has he told you about me?".

"No Ma'am, but I now have a question," asked Walter impatiently.

Disappointed Naomi responded, "Yes, I am accepting questions now".

"Would you, by any chance, know Angie's specific species?" Walter cautiously asked.

"Walter, I can't tell you without Alfred's permission, I am sorry... Would you please be a dear and go to Alfred to pick up my cage and ask him to bring himself to me" demanded Naomi.

"Yes, Maam!" Walter yelled as he gave her a slight bow and rushed out the door. Closing the door behind him, then drops to his knees, thinking to himself, is the master still mad at me? I should still go up and get him, or else Lady Noami will be furious, I don't need to see a bird getting its feathers ruffled up.
