"My fault--I treat her like the princess she is." John laughs as he shakes Eddie's hand while he talks to Co, who wriggles in her perch and lets out a couple, more subdued, peepeeps.
"She's actually really good when I go out to check my snares 'n traps--barely makes a sound." he admits. "Nah, she just likes to be given her due praise. Little diva."
"Peep! PEEPEEPEEPEEPEEPEEPEEPEEP!"
"See what I mean? Fine, you're beautiful 'n ruler of us all."
"Peep. Peepeep."
"I'm so done with you." he huffs, but tugs her out of his pocket to kiss her fluffy head--which she summarily nudges against his cheek in response as he turns back to Eddie.
"So, uh, I got news and a question. News is, I changed jobs--dunno what to call it yet, but I got the plot over next to the guy next to you, I think? I'm ranching, like him, so we're neighbors now. Which brings the question: you got any male chicks left? Thinking Co could use a buddy."
