*Mike, now wrapped in a blanket, shivers while Lily smiles up at him.*
Mike: S-so c-cold..
Lily: Thanks for the assistance.

*Mike smiles back as he continues to shiver.*
Mike: Don’t worry. Lucy’ll take good care of your friend..
*Lily waves a hand at Mike dismissively.*
Lily: Oh, I don’t actually know him..

*Lily blushes and looks to the side.*
Lily: I’m just a traveler who got stuck playing firefighter. Pretty lousy one, I gotta admit.

*Mike smirks at Lily.*
Mike: “Traveler”?
*Lily closes her eyes and raises a hand.*
Lily: It’s more flattering than “hobo.”
Mike: Hah.

*Lily smiles warmly.*
Lily: I’m Lily. What’s your name?
Mike: Mike.
Lily: Is “Michael” alright?
Mike: Uhh, I guess?

*Lucy comes into view.*
Lucy: He’s awake.
*Mike looks surprised.*
Mike: Oh!

*Blur, covered in bandages, looks down at his injuries.*
Blur: ?

Yashy: Rise and shine, birdie.
*Blur is surprised as Yashy and Chirpy peek over the tabletop.*

*Mike and Lucy smile at Blur. Lucy waves, and Mike remains wrapped in a blanket.*
Lucy: Good morning!
Mike: What a relief.

Blur:
*Blur suddenly looks terrified.*
Yashy: ?

Lucy: We don’t bite, I swear!
*Lucy has a comforting look. Mike looks mockingly dismissive.*
Mike: I prefer seafood.

*Blur examines his arms, seemingly ready to fly away. Lucy sternly crosses her arms.*
Lucy: Don’t even try. You’re in no condition to be out in this weather.

*Blur looks upset.*
Blur: M.. my branch?
Lucy: You really wanna go back to that charred mess?

Lucy: At least stay the night, okay?
*Blur looks uncertain. Mike frowns slightly.*
Mike:

*Mike smiles.*
Mike: Maybe I could take him to my place?
*Lucy looks worried.*
Lucy: It’s still raining, Mike.

Mike: Oh, not tonight! But maybe.. uhh..
*Mike smiles with a sheepish expression.*
Lucy: Sounds like you wanna keep him.

Mike: You know I’ve always wanted a..
Lucy: You ought to ask him! He’s not a baby..
*Blur neutrally observes the two talking.*
Blur:

*Blur sighs as Mike and Lucy begin to bicker.*
Mike: It’s not like I wanna kidnap him! ’Sides, you got Yashy and Chirpy already!
Lucy: Listen to yourself!

Author commentary

Veronica: Yeah, along with meeting Blur for the first time, Lily is introduced at this moment. She really has no specific past.. just being a traveler with no home. Quite a mystery.

Poor bird, getting kidnapped by cats!!! I guess he has nowhere else to go!! Is this what it’s like when a child is raised by wolves?

That was kind of rude, talking about keeping him without asking him.
But I can see Mike didn’t mean to be rude, he was just thinking out loud…

“What about my house?”
“YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE DEAD. GAME OVER.”
