"So why did you call for me this time, Captain Reina?" I decided to start off first.

It took some time getting used to talking to Regalia's Captain. But I managed to start a conversation with her from time to time.

"...well, I haven't give my present for you yet right?"

"My present? From Captain?" Now that I think about, she hasn't handed me anything yet from what I recall.

An amused grin was on Captain Reina's face as she stood up.

Taking the black cloth into her grasp, Captain Reina quickly removed it.

Revealing what was underneath. I was right about the cage, but what I didn't expect to see was what was inside it.

I gasped in awe.

There sitting sound asleep on the wooden perch inside the cage was a small white bird.

"A white bird." I muttered in surprise. Most of the birds I've seen back in Paris were like Pudge, but less on the chubby side.

Captain Reina laughed softly upon hearing my words. "It is, but the preferred name for this particular one is dove."

A dove...what a pretty bird.
