oh my god, this is my song

Just as Ixionn leaned down to take a bite from his meal, a feathery creature came fluttering down before him. It looked like a crow...but it had a pretty emerald crown of feathers atop it's head. The masked boy admired the fancy little bird, but cocked his head as it began to speak. "B thinks you killed fish wrong, caw! Silly woof has to eat it while its still fresh! B likes them a lot better that way." Ixionn couldn't call this bird dumb. It talked a bit funny...but it was amusing and unique all the same. The prince slowly lowered his head and allowed Drago to take a peek at this bird, too.
It looked almost nervous being so close to him and his food. Did it think he would scare him off? Ixionn smiled and breathed out a soft laugh. His tail thumped softly against the earth. The bird's head always bobbed and it never stopped, talons shuffling across the earth and yellowy eyes staring into his red eyes. Until they drifted up to Drago, who was puzzled and wrapped around Ixionn's head silently. The bird questioned the lizard and all the same complimented his pretty color.
Ixionn and Drago both looked to speak right afterward- but B cut in with one last statement. More of a question. "B likes fish, oh yes he does! Would smallish woof mind if B had some fish?" The bird hopped closer, and Ixionn focused his eyes in on the fish. Then to B. He grinned and nodded slowly. "Sure, sure! Just leave some for me if you could. I'm starving..." The boy raised his chin and turned back to Drago. The iguana hissed softly and made his way between Ixionn's shoulders. "Don't cry to me when he eats all of it!"
