[percept]

I wish to return my gift. It was not necessary, and I do not feel that I am the best caretaker for any variety of pet, cybernetic or no.

[ The camera pans out slightly, and it becomes apparent that there is a rather odd looking bird perched on the end of Perceptor's shoulder scope. It looks like a metal owl, large by human standards but still tiny compared to Perceptor, that swivels it's head to watch what he's doing with large, luminous eyes. He hasn't even bothered to remove the ribbon and bow wrapped around it. ]

I would, however, wish to keep it long enough to fun a few more diagnostics. Superficially it bears a general resemblance to the Strigidae of Earth, in particular the genus Megascops, although how such a construct exists so far from the planet...

[ He trails off in thought, the owl shifting on his scope, fluffing up metal plumage. ]

Regardless, I will be seeking a more permanent home for it.

... You have a bird.

[Without the use of alcohol, this is probably the most delighted he's ever sounded.]

Where did you find a bird on this planet?

...A strange creature.

Though I seem to bear a similar enough issue.

[Plenty of yipyipyipping going on in the background.]

Give it to Kagerou, maybe it's his children.

We should start a club.

The 'stuck with robot birds' club.

[Drift's been having a rough day and a pet would honestly be an improvement. Still. ]

It's a sign of wisdom.

I've never seen anything like that, it's quite pretty!

Why wouldn't you be a good caretaker?
