Prompt: Lightning Chicken
🍁•🍁•🍁•🍁
Skylor placed her hands on her hips, raising an unamused eyebrow at the plump brown chicken in Kai's arms as he and his brothers smiled nervously at her.
"No animals allowed, guys," she muttered, gesturing at the bird whose head was moving this way and that, taking in the surroundings of the restaurant.
"Don't worry," Kai assured her with a smug grin. "Belina here is perfectly potty-trained and knows her table manners, don't you Belina?" he asked the chicken as it clucked in response.
"Please, Skylor," Cole pleaded, coming forward and clasping his hands together. "We're super hungry but we can't let Belina out of our sights. We have no other choice."
It took a lot more than a puppy face to persuade Skylor but in the end the redhead reluctantly muttered her permission to which the guys whooped and high-fived one another. She led them over to a table for four and slid the menus to each of them as they pulled out the chairs and sat down.
"Can we get a high chair for the chicken?" Jay inquired. Skylor shook her head before gesturing at one of the waiters to bring the requested item to their table. Kai carefully bundled up the feathery ball of beak and claws and seated her in the high chair. "There we go," he announced in a loving tone that sounded fake, caressing the bird's feathers.
"Why are you guys babysitting a chicken anyway?" Skylor demanded, taking out a pad and a pen from her apron pocket. Her eyes flitted momentarily to the said bird before roaming back to the boys.
"This is Master Wu's little friend," Zane explained. "He is very attached to her and has requested we look after her while he, Lloyd and Nya journey to a far-off village to restore Master's tea stock."
"Sounds fun, doesn't it?" Jay added dryly, a fake smile on his face. "Indeed," Skylor replied with the same sarcasm. "Now what would you guys like?"
The Ninja discussed amongst themselves what they would like to order before Kai turned away from the group and beamed at her. "For starters, how about the–"
He stopped abruptly, glancing over to the chicken. He reached up and covered its head with his hand and replied in a low whisper, "How about the chicken corn soup?"
The redhead couldn't help but giggle at that. The chicken let out an indignant cluck before pecking at Kai's hand. The brunet quickly moved his hand away, glaring at the bird. Skylor jotted down the order and left for the kitchen. "Fifteen minutes"
Cole sighed in satisfaction and leaned back in his chair. "The soups here are the best," he whispered, already imagining the hot and spicy taste of the warm liquid on his tongue. He frowned as he saw the chicken flapping its wings, moving here and there in the confines of the high chair. "Belina's getting a bit restless."
