Only belatedly did it register in Sebastian's brain that Ranul had told this... Morris that he was handsome. His cheeks colored ever so slightly and he couldn't hold back a grin as he slid the bag strap over his own shoulder. The way Ranul insisted on having a conversation with the small caged animal was quite amusing, in retrospect.
"Hello, Morris. Lovely day to board the Odyssey, eh?" Sebastian replied, a little tongue in cheek. He blinked. "He can't actually... no, right?" With all the wonders out there in that big universe, it wasn't entirely outside the realm of possibility that a creature like Morris might have some basic intelligence, or merely well developed mimicking skills, like a parrot.
