Now we are back to the beginning of this tale. Funny how the thing I saught the most came to me. It carried a bright blue umbrella with them that matched its clothing and they hung it over my head. Their hat was starting to fill with water but I wanted to keep staring at its eyes. I wanted to know more about them but common curtesy clicked in and I tried to stand up but the sudden motion caused my vision to go black and then my stomach growled and I was out like a light.
When I woke up I was in Lucille's dressing room, I was lying on her love couch. I had a dull headache and groaned as I realized I need food quick. My groan caused someone in the room to stir. I looked up to see Lucille come out of her dressing area with a disappointed look on her face and a hint of worry.
"You are lucky Francoeur insisted on going out to help you otherwise you might have died."
"Heh, guess I am lucky today."
"Can you stand?" She asked, that hint of worry turned in to a confirmation. I tried to stand but I ended up lying back down with a worse head ache and my stomach growling like a lion. When she heard my stomach she smiled a bit and said "I'll go and see if Raoul can get you something to eat." I groaned a happy response and sunk deeper in to the couch. A few minutes later Francoeur walked in. They were still wearing the white suit and blue scarf, they had taken off the white hat and mask though. Francoeur cooed softly towards me as if to worry.
"Don't worry Francoeur. I am just a bit hungry. Speaking of hungry..." I decided to take this chance to ask Francoeur while Lucille was out.
"What do you eat Francoeur?"
They chirped a response but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Francoeur noticed and pulled out some cards from Lucille's drawer that looked like they were provided by Charles. He looked through a few of them and put some of them back and gave the rest to me. There were pictures of strawberries, sandwiches, macaroons and other normal foods until the last card showed me a picture of a blood pack. The other food comforted my thoughts but that blood pack confirmed that he is still a flea somewhat. I gave him back the cards just as Lucille came back.
"Hey I got some sandwiches-Francoeur! I see you have met our guest Ms..."
"Kelentza." I answered.
"Ms.Kelentza."
"I am sorry to have bothered you two so much."
"It is fine. I must apologize for the way I acted last time we met. I might have over reacted." She said embarrassed.
"No, no. I must have sounded like an enthralled evil genius looking for my next experiment."
"Haha. Well you kinda did." She started walking away dragging Francoeur with her.
"We have a show to do in a couple minutes so I hope that you feel better and join the crowd." She was about to close the door when I had to ask her "What made you change your mind?"
"I don't fully trust that you won't hurt him but I do think that if you did it would be an accident. Now we have to get going." Francoeur gave a quick chirp goodbye as she closed the door.The sandwiches were great but the crowd was going wild out there. I've always been a slow eater but I tried my best to finish quickly to hear their last song. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough and the Rare Bird was closing up shop. I went back to Lucille's room, this time I would ask her and Francoeur properly and hopefully get some answers. When they came back they seemed to be sharing a joke of some kind and when they spotted me they seemed a bit embarrassed. Were they, perhaps, dating? Too personal of a question to ask today but maybe down the line I can ask or I will notice it.
"Hello Ms.Kelentza. I thought you went home already."
"I would have but I must ask again. To both you and Francoeur I ask that you let me observe monsieur Francoeur for the benefit of Paris and science."
"What do you think Francoeur?" Lucille asked. Francoeur made a chirp-click sound and started waving his 4 arms in different directions. Pointing at himself then I then followed by extravagant motions I didn't understand and repeated to Lucille.
"Oh I see Francoeur." She turned to me and explained what Francoeur was insinuating. "He will let you as long as you let him observe you and you tell him what certain human items are."
"Of course! Shall we shake on it Francoeur?" I stretch my hand towards his 3 ligamented one and we shook.
"Ms.Lucille where does Francoeur live so I may know where to find him?" I ask.
"Oh he lives here, at the Rare Bird. Me and Raoul haven't had time to make accommodations for Francoeur yet but he seems to like staying here." When she said that Francoeur happily chirped and nodded his head.
"I suppose I can ask Carlotta if you can stay but just for tonight."
"Yes thank you Lucille." I turn to face Francoeur who decided to sit at the piano. Now I can question Francoeur but slowly at first, don't want to upset him.
