"Tell me what you want, Bird," Lucy persuaded.
"I want you to take me back to the Empire with you," Bird stated calmly.
"Ha?" Michael let out a laugh, "You can't be serious?"
Bird crossed his arm peevishly, "Stay out of it, old man,"
Michael's jaw dropped in disbelief, "What did you just say to me?"
Lucy waved them to break it up. She swallowed hard trying to gather her thoughts. Now she knew why her brother had refused. But it was too late now, she had already agreed. She would have to make it work somehow.
"Your Majesty," Lucy turned to Lucia, "Do you think it will be okay to take him back with us?"
"Do as you please," Lucia replied indifferently.
Lucy turned back to Bird who was waiting eagerly for the answer.
"Well Bird, you heard it," Lucy smiled.
Bird burst up from the ground and into a run with his arms stretched out.
