( okay, well. that's a lot of waggy-tailed puppy enthusiasm. endearing, if not a little worrying, for how quick he is to make himself an available tool. after a small, fussy pause, )
Do you know how to make tea taste better? I think this thing keeps eating whatever scraps it can find in the kitchen cabinets, and it's
( nasty swill, with no regard for flavor, but her chubby bird is equally so zealous about it that she feels guilty saying a single terrible thing about its attempts. )
Well, it's not really that good, but I don't know what to feed it.
well. i can tell you how to make tea. you boil fresh water, pour it into a teapot that's been pre-warmed. the bubbles with circulate the tea leaves and bring out their fresh color and aroma. then you cover the pot immediately and let it steam. when you pour your tea, make sure your cups are also pre-warmed. if you deviate from these steps, it can significantly alter the taste.
now, if it's a matter of that new bird you won not eating properly... it might be like the kitchen rats. since they're used to the caliber of cuisine of the chefs that've passed through the kitchens over the years, they can be fussy. i could make a sampler tray, with different nibbles to try? really, more of the same things i would feed my rats. they eat well!
( never mind the thing's fondness for open flames — alina's soft heart is attached to it already, in the pitying way someone grows attached to an orphaned baby bird that's fallen into their care. her responsibility to see that it learns its skills for survival. )
You would do that for him? I don't think the problem is his fussiness. I think the problem is that he isn't fussy enough. I caught him choking on an entire rose, the last time he was let loose.
