It was late evening in the tower, and guardians were running around in every direction getting last-minute items from shops before they closed for the night.

It was always chaotic at this time of day and Saint often felt tired after the tower finally cleared. It was the most draining part of the exo's day besides the early morning. As the last three guardians left him the titan sighed in relief, his day was over.

A pigeon had sat atop the titan's shoulder armor all day, cooing happily as he did his work. Saint didn't mind the small feathered friend and would reach up to pet it every so often.

The birds that often hung around the titan brought him joy, they were part of his family in his opinion. The titan started to sing a cheerful Russian tune to the little bird, which caught the attention of another.

"What's going on over here?" a happy voice rang through his sensors as he was shutting down his monitor. The titan's singing stopped abruptly and he met the eyes of Amanda. She was smiling at him in her usual cheerful way, wrench in hand as always.
"This little guy decided to pay me a visit this morning and hasn't left since" he lifted his hand to pet the bird on his shoulder. "And the singing?" she boomed with laughter, stepping toward him. Saint grunted and turned back to his monitor. "Everyone enjoys a little music, no?" he said defensively. "The bird trusts you, I think it's sweet."

The titan took a heavy breath and turned to start putting weapons away without another word. He wasn't his normal cheerful self and she could see it from a mile away.

"Hey, are you okay big guy?" Her tone softened and she had a worried but warm smile on her face. He was silent for quite some time, putting the remainder of the weapons into a box and clipping it shut.

Saint picked up the pigeon from his shoulder and held it gently to his chest. "I have been a little distracted lately that's all.

I didn't mean to seem so irritated." The bird cooed at him, getting his attention. He stroked its fragile head with a soft chuckle as it fluffed up its feathers happily in his arms.

"Apology accepted... Now, what's been on your mind?" She watched the titan tense his shoulders with the bird still in his hands.

Amanda couldn't read his expression due to his helmet but knew he was avoiding her gaze. He didn't answer her, hoping she would simply let it go. But knowing his friend she definitely wouldn't.

"You're worried about Osiris, Aren't you?" she questioned. "Nobody has seen him in days, and you have been very uneasy lately."

Saint sighed as he set the bird on the ground below him and watched it take flight. It flew circles around him before taking off in the direction of his ship. Probably to nest within it for the night.

"I am worried yes," He admitted. Staring off in the direction his bird friend had gone. This was mostly to avoid eye contact with Amanda, despite his helmet.
