Where: Greenhouse, Dining room, around
When: Fiddlesticks 17 and 18
Warnings: fluff? literal and figuartive

WangJi was happy. How could he not be when the best husband he could ask for gifted him with a white rabbit. Rabbits were his favorite and he liked them. Now he had one of his own.

Of course, he wouldn't be a responsible pet owner if he didn't show his pet around the train so it could be used to the accommodations... and the fact that their home moved even though most of the time it wasn't too noticeable.

But he could easily be found around on arrival day with the rabbit safely tucked in his arms, still clearly visible so it could look around and see and greet others.

Prior to mealtime, WangJi could be found in the dining car sitting at one of the tables, letting the rabbit stretch its legs for a few minutes and look around. Yes, the rabbit was on the table, but he wasn't letting it out of arms reach just in case. Luckily, it seemed more content to just sit for the moment.

Where the rabbit was most happy was in the garden car. It had the chance to run around a bit in there and as long as it stayed away from the plants other passengers were growing, WangJi let it explore and walk on its own though he was not far away to make sure it didn't get anything it shouldn't.

".... issat your rabbit, WangJi-san?" Kaito wanders in, presumably looking for food like any growing teenager, and pauses, blinking.

"It is. Wei Ying ordered the rabbit for me."

He was normally very stoic, but someone could easily suspect that he looked rather happy about having a rabbit. He did like them.

The rabbit sat up on its hind legs for a moment as it sniffed the air before it went back to walking on the table, WangJi careful to make sure it didn't go too far away.

"Huh. It's cute. Didn't know you liked rabbits." He comes closer, tapping the table to see if he can attract the rabbits attention.

"Didja keep rabbits at home?"

The rabbit wasn't paying much mind until he tapped on the table. Oooo, new person. It came up to him, looking up at him.

"I do like rabbits. I had a warren of rabbits on the back mountain in the Cloud Recesses."

Kaito grins as the bunny comes over, moving slowly to scritch.

"A whole warren? That's pretty cool. I've used rabbits in tricks before, but my particular gimmick is doves."

The rabbit was very happy with the scritch, sitting still for the pet. Getting pets was very nice!

"Yes. There were at least a couple dozen rabbits in the warren. Doves?"

Rabbit can has~

"Yep!" He grins and snaps his fingers, and a dove appears on his shoulder.

"This is Aoi - she normally stays with Aoko but since Aoko had to... go home, Aoi is still here, so... "

Rabbit is happy. If one could imagine a happy rabbit, this rabbit had that look.

WangJi blinked in surprise as a bird suddenly appeared on his shoulder. "Amazing..."

He had at least learned not to ask how he did that. The rabbit couldn't see the bird from that angle but looked curiously at him for snapping his fingers.

Kaito coaxes Aoi down his shoulder to perch on the table and coo curiously at the rabbit.

"She's pretty well trained! A magician's bird has to be. If you want her to come over to you, just snap your fingers once."

Birb... The rabbit was curious, streeeeetching his body out so he could lean in towards Aoi and sniff at it.

"I would imagine they would have to be well-trained."

There was a pause as WangJi watched Aoi and the rabbit before he decided to test it out and snapped his fingers.

Aoi coos back at the fluffcreature, but when WangJi snaps she flaps her wings and takes off, to land on his shoulder and preen his hair curiously.

"Yep! Gotta be quite careful about their temperament and health."

As Aoi took off, Little Rabbit sat back quickly, falling over to one side before righting himself, looking around like 'no one saw that right?'.

WangJi smiled, looking at the bird out of the corner of his eye as it played with his hair.

"Especially when they are around people who are not used to them while doing their trick."

Kaito grins at the surprised rabbit, and nods proudly.

"Exactly. Aoi's one of my older birds - Aoko helps me look after them anyway, but Aoi has known her since hatching, and is normally really attached."

Surprised rabbit was amusing. WangJi certainly found their antics endearing, watching as the rabbit started cleaning its face as though nothing had happened.

“I see. So Aoi thinks Aoko as a family member?”

"Yep." He grins, Aoi apprently quite happy to preen WangJi's hair.

"When you want her to get down, by the way, you can just tap the table twice."

It was another thing that WangJi could add to list of things that had happened in his life: getting groomed by a bird.

"It would make sense that she was family to the bird if she had been around since they were born."

After a few more moments, he did tap the table twice for the bird to come down.

"Yeah! Aoi's the only one who is that attached though - not sure why exactly, but at least it means that I always knew Aoko had company. Well. Until now, I guess..."

Aoi perks up at the tap and walks down his arm and onto the table, where she fluffs contentedly and settles down.

Little Rabbit watched as the bird walked down WangJi's arm back to the table. When she fluffed and settled in, Little Rabbit did the same, shaking himself out a little and settling in, looking like a white ball of fluff.

So cute.

"And Aoko was with the others since they hatched as well?"

Bird and Bun, sitting fluffily on the table!

"Pretty much." He nods. "Although she oy saw Aoi actually hatch. Maybe he thinks she's his mother?"

Very fluffily. They were so adorable. Little Rabbit had apparently made a friend.

"It is possible. I've heard animals that come from eggs tend to believe the first thing they see is their mother."

They will be the cutest of friends.

"That's true. Maybe that's why! I'm kinda surprised Aoi decided to stay with me instead then."

The cutest! If they both liked each other, WangJi would certainly bring Little Rabbit to hang out with Aoi.

"Perhaps that shows Aoi considers you family as well even though Aoko is perferred."

Kaito thinks they look very cute together!

"That, or he was hungry." He says wryly. "I'm the one who feeds him!"

"Hmm... that makes sense as well. The rabbits back home begin to recognize the juniors that also feed them and come to them. Of course, they always expect food or attention when I am there."

Little Rabbit yawned before snuggling up even more. It has been a long day for a small rabbit.

Aoi grooms the fluffcreature a few times and then settles down and coos contentedly.

"Yeah, Aoi is the same." He agrees. "Most of my doves are really well trained, but they're definitely food motivated!"
