There is a quiet thump as a black-feathered bird drops from the rafters, landing neatly in a chair.
A moment later that same chair is occupied by a man with dark hair and bright black eyes.
Some things, it seems, cross forms rather well.
Other things, like his dusty jeans and raggedy black coat, do not.
It is the problem with feathers.
Sort of.
Well, that, and the immense mess a beak makes of cookies. They are better inhaled whole. This is why Raven appreciates the approach of a waitrat bearing an enormous plate of cookies.
The bird is hungry, today.
And every day.
It is a thing.

Mostly.
In Milliways, at least.
"On occasion, no, I do not think."
But then, of course, there is the rest of the time.
"Also sometimes there are breasts. So."
no subject
It tickles.
Breasts? How unusual!
"That does make one different from men, yes."
no subject
Not that Raven uses them so.
Nope.
Not this bird.
Really.
no subject
Make of that what you will.
"Depends on who you are trying to distract. Used on the wrong person it might not work at all."
Pause.
"But then, there are other methods, yes?"
no subject
Raven beams.
"It is, perhaps, not quite infinite, but skill is counting for something, I think."
no subject
"Yes. And imagination too."
Wait. Fox, are you still on his head?
...yeah you seem to be...
no subject
It is not particularly troublesome, at least not yet.
"Also that, yes. It is something you are very good at?"
no subject
So. Onto the shoulders.
A living stole!
"I'd like to think I have imagination. It works and then it does not work. At least, as intended."
no subject
"Mostly intentions are not so important, I do not think."
He tilts his head, considering.
"It is difficult to be certain."
no subject
"Oh yes. And that may be why things don't always go as planned."
Equal parts importance of intent and certainty.
"But, still, it is interesting regardless."
no subject
Raven sounds matter-of-fact.
"Still."
no subject
That is planning.
The Great Idea you get.
Perhaps it is a fox thing.
no subject
Except when it is not.
But that is still not planning.
Really.
no subject
Ideas come from whims! And then you make them real.
And sometimes they work.
And sometimes they don't work.
Like when the stork repaid him for his dinnertime prank.
no subject
Nope.
Not this bird.
Really.
Would this face lie to you?
no subject
Yes.Maybe.No.Depends on who answers.Eeek!
Yip!
no subject
It is his mouth.
Most times.
When there is lying involved.
no subject
When there is a couch involved?
Couches enable much lying. Around.
no subject
Even with a Fox still nesting comfortably on his head.
Not that foxes nest.
no subject
But sleeping sitting up is another matter.
Hmmm... Sleep. Maybe after a cookie? Several?
no subject
Mostly.
And as he is already napping, but not using Fox as a pillow, Fox has a free buffet!
no subject
Munch munch munch!
