Javier leaned against the fence of the Pekko pen, watching the vibrant creatures going about their day. The grand celebration from last week had gone off without a hitch, and for once, there were no assassins, threats, or urgent matters to attend to. Peaceful? Yes. Exciting? Not at all.
"Boring…" Javier muttered, tossing a chunk of feed to Buddy, his loyal Pekko. The bird caught it mid-air, squawking happily. Nearby, Liana's Pekko, Pikko, lounged on the lawn, soaking up the sunlight.
A mischievous gleam appeared in Javier's eyes as he glanced around. "Heh, Liana's not here…" A smirk spread across his face. "Buddy, let's have some fun."
Buddy tilted its head, squawking excitedly, sensing Javier's playful intent.
"Come on, Buddy!" Javier swung himself onto the bird's back with practiced ease. Buddy let out a triumphant cry, wings fluttering.
"Now... Dash!!"
