Merlin glanced aside at his bird friend, and smiled again. "It seems so. I think he may have absconded from the starbase we just visited, or are visiting... or whichever that is." He sometimes lost track of the outside. His realm was here now, and tending to these people who he had taken as his own.

He tweetled softly, and the bird perked up, peered at Beverly, then hop-flew to her, hovering as if inspecting her, tweetling softly in greeting, even holding still close up before shooting off again.
