Aww, phoey. Not this place again.

[looks over him in surprise]

I've never seen a talking duck before...

You've been here before?

Yeah, but I thought I was back at the castle... looks like that date with Daisy's gonna have to wait.

[frowns in sympathy]

That's very unfortunate.

...I hope I'm not offending you, but... I'm very curious. What are you? I've seen birds who spoke before, but they were actually transformed elves...

[a tiny portal flares open a few feet away, and he wriggles through it, crawling along on his stomach.]

I'm a duck.

Wak!

[tiny Roxas...does not compute]

What's the big idea?

Well, yes... but as I said, I've never seen any kind of bird that wasn't originally more... humanoid... speaking before.

Well, now you have. I've always been like this.

[... this is not the kitchen.]

M'lookin' for the ice cream, chicken guy.

I'm not a chicken!

[short temper? Oh yessss]

But how? Were you born like that? Were you given the power of speech and a cognitive mind by magic? Experimentation? Or did- oh, I am so sorry, I'm being terribly rude.

[bows slightly, sighing]

This place just makes me incredibly curious. I haven't been able to study things and people like this in years.

That's 'cause you're a chicken guy.

[all the difference in the world, obviously. excuse Roxas for plucking a feather.]

It's normal in my world.

H-hey! Watch it!

How very interesting. Do other animals speak as well in your world?

[studying him, but respecting personal space]

[there's a slight trace of amusement on his lips, and he plucks out another feather.]

You'd make a good stew, chicken guy.
