Simba

21 March 2077 15:00

Simba was still in her hormonal high… She was walking alongside her Captain as usual, with her tail high, marking her ownership of him whenever possible. Samba, as had become usual, was walking protectively ahead, tail low...

The Captain followed his usual routine, picking up his smelly water and his crunchy bites, and continuing on to their room. And as usual she sprang up and settled in his lap, with Samba settling across his feet.

Today he was even more excited, talking about imminent adventure – once again she and Samba were being infected by his enthusiasm. He clearly knew she was pregnant, and it seemed as if he were reluctant to leave her. But then as usual he got up and headed to the door. Unlike yesterday, he went diagonally across the passage to where he got his snacks, and emerged with his hands full of boxes of different kinds. Then he crossed past their open slider, pausing to catch their eyes – and so they followed him, curious, deferring their naps.

The smaller birds had mostly gone – she’d seen them fly off one by one – and this time the Captain walked straight across and entered the mother bird behind its separate slider, with Simba at his heels. He put away the items in his hands in various places, particularly up near the front, where glassy windows looked out at the stars.

Again he looked around satisfied, and again caught her eye as he moved out into the large space where the smaller birds nested, the slider whispering and clicking behind her.

It looked like the Captain was preparing a nest inside the bird. It was quite confusing.
