The apprehensive bird had been reading poems since the early morning and also had been nagging Zhang Zian for a while. It was thirsty and hungry, so it flapped its wings and landed next to Fina, wanting to drink from Fina's water bowl. Fina glanced at it coldly and reached out its sharp nails. Looking at those nails, Richard decided to turn to Old Time Tea.
”Hey, old guy. Let me drink some water,” it said to Old Time Tea.
Old Time Tea waved its paw calmly and said, ”Help yourself to some tea. I don't like sharing my teacup with others though.”
The teapot was sitting right there. Richard knew that there was no way it could lift that teapot even though it was an Elfin. It was better at talking than doing.
Looking around the store, it noticed Galaxy was playing hide and seek with a few kittens. Immediately, it flew towards Galaxy.
”Meow?” Galaxy looked at it questioningly.
”Water, are you going to drink your water?” Richard asked. It already started planning on fighting Galaxy over for water. It felt that Galaxy was the easiest opponent if it had to fight someone.
”Nope. I don't drink water!” Galaxy replied.
”Squawk, who doesn't drink water? Water is the source of life, you know? What an idiot!” Richard opened up its small round eyes, ”Water, wody, agua, wasser, δωρ, understand?”
”I don't drink water!” Galaxy said again and wanted to continue its game with the kittens.
Flapping its wings, Richard stopped Galaxy, ”You don't want water but I do. Go get water from that guy! If you don't listen, I am going to beat you up! I am so powerful. You won't be able to escape if I am mad at you… I can …”
Without finishing its words, Richard found that Galaxy disappeared suddenly.
”Squawk!” Richard kept looking around, ”Where did it go?”
A voice came up from behind.
”Don't run! Galaxy is coming!”
Richard turned around and saw that Galaxy was behind it, having continued its game with the kittens.
”What the f*ck?” Richard was amazed, ”When did you slip off? Are you a ghost?”
As Richard turned around, it was frightened once again.
Fina was standing right behind it. Its green eyes were shining.
”My… My Majesty, What… What's up?” Richard was too scared to look at Fina's cold face. What if this cat eats birds?
”My Majesty, I am… not tasty. You know, I am skinny… bony…” Richard kept begging.
Staring at it, Fina said after a few moments of silence, ”Let me ask you. What was the last word you said?”
”My last word?” Richard relaxed after hearing that Fina wasn't going to eat it. It thought for a second. ”Ghost?”
”Nope, earlier.”
