Mephisto is suspiciously clingy today. Usually he hops around you or just sits on the balcony rail of your flat.

But now, he constantly wants to sit on your shoulder and rubbing his head on your checks and under your chin like a small feathery cat. Or if you sit at the table he hops on it, incessantly tips his beak at your fingers or rubs his body onto the back of your hand, gently cawing and chirping. Some unfamiliar sounds from the half-mechanical crow.

And every time you shove him aside, he's back in an instant and continues his efforts with rubbing himself at you. What is wrong with this bird today?

You love this little birdie, but it starts to get really annoying and tiring. So you call Sylus and tell him to get his crow.

"What's wrong, Sweetie?" you hear is sleepy voice on the other end.
"Hey. Sorry to wake you, but Mephisto is acting really strange the whole day. Can you call him back and check out what's wrong?" you nearly plead into the speaker because said bird is already on you again.

For a second there's no reaction, just cloth ruffling and some bumps are heard. "Don't apologize, kitten. You should know by now, that you can call me anytime." Again you hear some muffled noises and Sylus sighing. It sounds like he is dressing himself. "And for Mephisto, he shouldn't be at yours. What's he doing?"

You need to grab the annoying black bird again and get him out of your face before you can answer Sylus. "He's clingy! Since he came a few hours ago he constantly is on me. I can't lift one finger whithout Mephisto's affection." The birds protesting caw is heard as you pin him down the table you stand at.
