12th District, Little Frost Town.
Ah Mo stood at the edge of the hospital grounds, dozing off. A figure approached silently from behind and came to a stop beside it.
Catching a familiar scent, Ah Mo's eyelids twitched. It slowly turned its head to look—
"CHIRP?!"
Seeing it was that young fledgling Philinos, Ah Mo chirped happily, "The fledgling's finally awake."
Then, it chirped in astonishment, "What are you doing out here?"
Philinos said, "Patrolling."
His answer nearly made Ah Mo keel over. It smacked the disappointing little bird with its wing. "CHIRP!" (Get back inside!)
'I went through all that trouble to shove this stupid little bird next to Little Gu Ning, and he runs out the moment he wakes up?'
Philinos staggered from the blow of its large wing and shuffled to the side, clearly having no intention of leaving.
Ah Mo pointed its wingtip at him and scolded, "Are you an idiot? Where did all your usual cleverness go?"
