Wow, how rude, Watch Me thought, as she clearly hadn’t been listening to him at all. He’d just explained his purpose here very thoroughly and quite elegantly and - oh, right. His feathers that had begun puffing out, smoothed up again as he realized his teeny tiny mistake. He gave the marshfowl equivalent of a cough.
Then he was simply a Kiokote, this time with surprisingly little fanfare. Just one second a bird and the next a kin, his brow arched slightly.
“Bad? Whyever would I give them something bad? I don’t think anybody does that.” He frowned. “Do they? I’ll talk to the MotherFather about it. It shouldn’t be allowed. Even if I don’t like somebody, making their children ugly wouldn’t solve the problem, would it?”
He shook his head.
“Anyway moving on, yes, I am a Legendary.” He puffed out his chest. “I am Watch Me! I am here to bless your unborn children with - oh nevermind, the speech I gave before was so much better but you couldn’t understand a word of it,” he grumbled.
To top it all off, she didn’t even have a request. Just
whatever which was fine, he liked a humble lady and blank slate normally but -
“Okay sure, I hope your children are born able to understand others, with the patience and wisdom to know when to listen and to ask the right questions. How’s that?” It was just a
little snarky.
The kio had been here before and was set out on a mission. She knew she was pregnant - but it was still early days and she wanted to make the journey before she was particularly far along. She just needed to find a legendary to help her! She'd stopped and spoken to every animal she'd seen - none had answered. Whether they were regular animals or legendaries who simply didn't want to help - she couldn't say but it didn't stop her continuing.
There suddenly came a rustling.
