A Man and His Crow [SEBASTIAN]

[Teddy Lupin]

[/i] to some 'random' bird. But he was, though it wasn't exactly something Teddy went around telling everyone. Normal people didn't share all their secrets and worries with crows, or feel emotionally attached to one of them. Merlin, what a loner Teddy had become.

"You hungry, Crow?" he chuckled at the bird before ripping off one of the crusts from his cheese sandwich and putting them down on the table next to him for Crow to eat. Teddy was very original when it came to naming things...[/color][/ul]

[Sebastian Phantomhive]

Sebastian had met Teddy Lupin just about a week ago when he was fooling around in his Animagus form. The adopted Phantomhive didn't pity many easily but, for some reason, he had pitied the younger wizard. Maybe it was because he had been reminded of when his beloved cousins would leave and Seb would be left all alone. Sure his dads were okay but they never gave him the attention he wanted. Wen Claude and Victoria weren't there it could get very, very lonely...

"Caaaw. (Yes. Thank you.)" Sebastian replied, hopping over to his share of sandwich. He honestly was hungry and eating in his crow form was extremely convenient as he could eat less and get full quicker. The Animagus always found it most amusing with the name choices people gave him. So far, Teddy was the 5th person to simply call him Crow but he was okay with it. Names didn't really matter to him when he was just a bird.

[/i]... why was he smiling at a crow? Was he going mad?

Sighing a little, Teddy picked up a piece of his sandwich, taking a bite from it before placing back down at it. He wasn't really too hungry at the moment, it wouldn't be worth it, just shoving it down. He could just save it for whenever he regained his appetite later.

"Am I mad?" he mused quietly to Crow, "I'm talking to a crow. Well, I've been talking to you all week... I'm mad. Yes, I'm definitely mad. Maybe I'll be like one of those crazy cat ladies, except I'll be a crazy old crow man."

Teddy just had to laugh at himself. Because he'd completely lost the plot now, hadn't he?[/color][/ul]

[Sebastian Phantomhive]

Sebastian lifted his head up then tilted it to the side, looking at him curiously. When he mentioned being a crazy crow man he could just imagine Teddy sitting at home in an armchair, surrounded by dozens of crows. It was quite strange, though rather amusing, thought that made the Animagus laugh. Crows weren't especially fond of the human race in general but there were a humans who had touched the hearts of a few crows he knew so having one as a companion wasn't entirely impossible. Just highly unlikely.

"Craaw caaw craaw. Don't worry, you're not mad." Sebastian caawed to the younger man, stretching one of his black feathered wings to give him a pat. Mental issues and Seb equaled a very awkward topic. Before he had gotten the job offer to teach at Hogwarts he was studying mental illnesses, hoping to cure those who had diseases of the mind. He had reasons in choosing to study this profession but mental issues was always a topic he didn't joke about too lightly.

[/i] be some slight possibility. There could be wizards with the animagus form of a crow so technically Teddy was right. Too bad Crow was just a crow. Or so Teddy had assumed.

"Mmm. I hope to Merlin you just disagreed with me." he laughed, glancing over at the crow before diverting his attention back to the sky, looking at nothing in particular and just feeling incredibly bored. Teddy needed to learn to speak crow, but somehow he doubted he'd ever get around to it. There had to be some wacky old wizard out there who could, or at least claimed to know how.[/color][/ul]
