Chapter 114 Trinkets, Returning, and Potential 2nd Reward

Holding onto the off chance that Nyria had magically located a second Cavern and that what she had stumbled upon wasn't a lower entrance into the one Glacia had found, Aoni's thoughts were soon shattered by the reality of his situation when the fledgling returned, holding several items in her talon's and beak.

'LOOK BROTHER, I GOTS THEM!' Chirping happily as she glided down to the lad and landed before him on the ground, Nyria was happy as happy gets and started showing off her findings, completely unaware of her Lord's inner turmoil.

"chee CLICK, Che che Clack,"

'I found dis one over by the woods. It's some kind of shiny rock, but I thought it looked pretty, and this fruit here is from one of the pointy trees in the west.' Placing down each item and lining them up in order of how she found them, Nyria prattled on and on about their location and the reason behind her picking it up.

For example, the fruits not only smelled sweet but also seemed to draw her attention due to a weird feeling she got from being close to the tree.

As for the stones and odd-shaped leaves, those were just things for her budding collection and didn't hold much use apart from that.

Meanwhile, Aoni sat down in front of her and listened intently to her introductions. Sure, he was exasperated by the fact there was a passage further down the mountain that led to the cavern, but that could wait until his adorable Nyria finished.

It was his first time witnessing the bubbly side of his newest summon, so he wanted to take a minute to let her enjoy herself. In doing so, not only was he bonding with her, but he was also learning little quirks and such, like how she clicks and clacks her beak; each one seemed to signify different things, something apparent when compared to the words flowing through the LoS directly into his mind.

Unable to yield any results and figuring its secrets would be revealed in time, Aoni gently handed it back over to Nyria and smiled.

"Alright, let's pack up everything and head back up; oh, that reminds me, when we get back to the camp, we gotta get you fitted for a satchel, like the one I made for Glaica; that way, you don't have to worry about leaving your stuff behind and can just pack everything in the bag."

"Cheee?" scooting her trinkets back into a pile, Nyria paused upon hearing the strange word she didn't recognize and asked innocently.

Apparently, she had completely ignored the latter half of Aoni's statement, wherein he described its purpose, and got hung up on him making her something, which, in her mind, instantly meant another reward, making her giddy.

'Satchel? What's that? Is it another reward?' Snapping to attention and looking at her Lord with innocent eyes filled with wonder, Nyria asked.

"Mmm, yeah, even though I called you back early, you learned a lot about the territory so far, so you can think of it as a reward. Basically, it's a single strap pack that can hold objects in a way that won't hinder your movement." Scratching his cheek and realizing this whole reward thing could easily get out of hand if left unchecked, Aoni fumbled his way through an excuse before explaining the use of the satchel he was going to craft her.

"I'll need to measure the space between your wings and belly, and we can try a few different styles; comfort is the most important aspect of a satchel like what I have in mind, and since you fly around and take sharp turns, it can't hang loosely as Glacia's does."

"Either way, it shouldn't take me too long to make, and once complete, you won't have to carry any of your trinkets; you just place them in your satchel and continue exploring." Thinking back to the comedy routine Glacia put on the first time he tried getting her to wear a pack, Aoni couldn't help but smile since it reminded him of those videos where people put socks on their cat's feet.
