Late at night, Teardrop sat outside behind the shared bleh house. She watched a crow land next to her, curiously approaching her legs.

She lowered a hand and watched the crow step onto it. Slowly, she raised her hand back up so as to not startle the crow away. She cleared her throat, before speaking,

"Roeel, rls wio klg?"

Somehow, she was able to speak to the crow.

"H'q soee! wtx klg?"

"Qo cll."

She kept conversing with the crow, unaware that she was attracting attention from some people.


"Teadster, what are you doing?" Lollipop asked from behind Teardrop, who turned around upon hearing the voice.

"I'm talking to the crow," she signed to Lollipop with one hand.

"You're.. talking."

Teardrop nodded.

"To a crow."

She nodded again.

"..."

"Well, I'm intrigued."

Lollipop sat down next to Teardrop and watched her converse with the crow. Aside from some occasional questions, the candy stayed silent and respected the conversation, even though she couldn't understand a word.



And just a few meters away, the ivory cube watched.

He eventually approached with a very well hidden malicious intent.

"What are you two doing?"

"TD's talking to a crow."

"... She's what now?"

"That was my first thought, but it's true. You can have a look if you want."

Loser shrugged and sat down, watching the conversation as well. He was so intrigued that he almost forgot his original plan. When the time was right, and Teardrop was facing Lollipop, he grabbed the crow by the neck and began stabbing its beak into Teardrop. While the droplet had her mouth wide open trying to scream, Lollipops eyes widened. She scurried to her feet and kicked Loser off of the injured form. She freed the crow from Losers hand and the two got into a fist fight. That of which Loser had managed to grab Lollipop by the face and bash her head against a tree. Lollipop went unconscious on impact.

Satisfied, Loser made his exit.

Lollipop groggily forced her eyes open, it was still before dawn. She slowly pushed herself off from the tree her head leaned upon. As she blinked and adjusted her eyes to the darkness, she faintly heard a raspy voice through the slowly fading ringing noise.

"N'qlt! klg rwjo cl roeu!"

"Wh.. What's up, lil guy..?" Lollipop said to the crow hopping on her legs. She followed it to whatever it was so desperate to show her.

"... Teardrop?"

She knelt down to the still unconscious droplet, gently shaking her a little. "Cmon, teadster, wake up..." She said softly.

After a while of trying, Lollipop sighed and sat next to Teardrop, gently carrying her into her lap. She checked the body's pulse, it was still there. Faint, but still there. A soft and relieved smile formed on Lollipops face.

Lollipop gently took the crow into her grasp and checked it for injuries. After doing so, she sighed once more.

"I guess we just wait for her to wake up now..."
