Zane reaches around looking for the mass that is hanging off of him. Finding what feels like a featehry mass, Zane utters, "Now, that is quite some trick.. You know how to do anything else? Better yet.. do your parents know you can do that?"

Rin giggles as he drops to the floor from Zane's back.
'"Some Trick"'
Rin repeats a portion of Zane's sentence right back at him and stands up before bolting off to some other location in the house. There's a bit of a clatter in the house right befor the sound of something opening can be heard followed by Rin yelling.
"Pastries!!"

Zane once again runs after the toddler trying to see what he is getting into this time. Bolting into the kitchen, Zane sees Rin opening several cupboards. "I don't think that is a pastry there little one," Zane quickly snaches what appears to be an old bottle of poison from him. "Definitely not something you want to drink.."

Rin tries to reach for the bottle and when he cannot get it he plops of to the floor. Looking up at Zane it's unclear if he is pouting but he starts to make a repetitive odd cawing like sound.

Zane looks down at the toddler unsure of what the matter was. "Are you hungry little one? Thirsty? I don't know what you want.." Getting concerned about a possible crying little one, Zane also starts to look through several cupboards looking for something to give to Rin. Unsure of what he is looking for, he asks Rin, "What do you normally eat little one?"
Turning his head, Zane ends up smacking his forehead on one of the open doors to the cupboard. "xsio batobot ouith," exclaims Zane rubbing his forehead.

(very cute RP'ing I like it .. will wait to see what the mysterious cawing sound is from Rin's throat before I have Vesalun come back, which she probably will in a post tomorrow (Sun May 1st here in the " real world " time )

Rin keeps cawing until Zane smacks his head on the cupboard door. Giggling he gets up and hops up into the cupboard and proceeds to throw things out of it. When the flying objects stop most of which seemed to be all manner of knives and meat cleavers Rin hops out holding what appears to be fish that isn't even the least bit fresh. Then sitting down he starts to tear bits out of the fish with his beak gulping them down.
((Yeah he was basically throwing what amounted to a tantrum when Zane took the poison bottle away. After all tantrums are meant to either scare the parents into doing something or annoying them into it.))

'I hope he doesn't get sick.. that fish doesn't seem too good looking,' Zane thought watching the infant eat the fish. "Are you sure that is ok for you to eat? Isn't there something else that you would like better?" Zane is starting to get in over his head and is beginning to hope that Rin's mom comes back soon. Babysitting is something that he never liked to do..
"I better pick these up before your mom gets home," Zane says as he begins picking up and putting the knives away.

Vesalun abruptly walks in... her eyes look dead, listless... she slumps to the floor staring vacantly ahead of her.
" No Ack-Chak... the son of a bitch is NOWHERE to be found... no body... just a pile of rocks... " Tears abruptly start sliding down the bird-woman's cheeks from out of nowhere... definitely an uncomfortable situation for any observerer.

Surprised at the sudden appearance of Vesalun, Zane nearly dropped one of the knifes he was holding on his foot. Carefully setting them out of the reach of Rin, Zane had no idea what to do. Should he attempt to comfort her? Should he say something? Should he hand her Rin and see if he can help improve her mood...
Cautiously, Zane asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you? I'm not that great of a baby sitter, but I can hunt pretty well if you need meat or..." Realizing Rin was still eating the unhealthy looking fish, pointing at Rin, he asks "Umm, is that ok for him to eat? He won't get sick will he?" While carefully moving one hand south for a little possible protection.

" We eat carrion on a daily basis...it's a treat .... " Vesalun says listlessly then trails off.
After several long, excruciatingly uncomfortable minutes Vesalun says blankly " Thank you human... for letting me know what happened to my husband. Without you all I would know is that Aintak mysteriously vanished... thanks to you now I know what happened to him.... even if there is no body for the funeral rites.. and more importantly... who to KILL ... " Vesalun's claws clench into a fist for a moment, fire in her eyes.. that fades just as quickly as it arrived the listless tone re-entering her voice. " I'll ... let the other kenku know what happened... in time.... "
Slowly... reluctantly..... Vesalun rises... crosses over to Rin and picks up her baby holding him close.... there are tears in her voice but she forces what appears to be some sort of .... smile? Zane can't quite tell... onto her beak as she cuddles Rin ... " Who's my precious baby boy huh? YOU are, oh yes you are ! " Vesalun hugs Rin tightly, obviously treating her son as her emotional lifeline at this point...
" I'd stay if I were you" says a cheerful voice - it sounds like an old man's. " She could certainly use the help - this is going to be a difficult time for Vesalun." The voice appears to be coming from... Zane's belt buckle? Vesalun is too distracted to even notice the voice...

Confused about the location of the voice coming from his belt buckle and strangely the fact this isn't the first time some inanimate object started talking to him, Zane figured he would just go with it. 'Of all the times, now the buckle starts talking. Why couldn't it say something a few weeks ago with that pretty human from that inn..'
Crouching down near Vesalun, Zane asks the question again, "Can I help you out with anything? This little guy is a handful. You may need the extra help." Zane stands and finishes putting the knives back in the drawer they came from before watching the birdlady come apart emotionally. He walks back and carefully and hopefully tenderly places a hand on Vesalun's shoulder.

Rin giggles as he is cuddled and buries his face in Velasun's feathers. Rin seems none the wiser to what is going on for the moment. A muffled "Dragon!" can be heard coming from Rin. Pulling his head back out of his mother feathers he points to Zane.
"Dragon, Some Trick!"

Vesalun continues to stare straight ahead ... looking more shell-shocked than anything else.. Zane's hand on her shoulder doesn't even appear to register. " Psst.. hey, over here ! " says Zane's belt buckle.. " By the window ! " (Assuming Zane looks out the window)... Zane sees an old man in robes that might have once been white but are now a dull purplish-gray almost as if they haven't been washed for a long, long time.. he gestures at Zane urgently from outside the cottage. (pic of him appears below except his hat isn't on fire )

((Gotta love Fizban.. that guy is just plain insane sometimes..))
Zane looks around and sees the old man standing outside the window. 'Ok, that's a new one.. Where the hell did he come from.' "I'll be right Vesalun, don't go anywhere. Rin, take care of your mom." Zane then quietly exits the house and walks towards the old man. "And whom might you be?"
