The warmth of spring brought flowers to life and spurred the trill of birdsong from the thicket of the trees. Nearby, a manuka tree was in bloom and birds flitted around it, drinking the nectar of the blossoms and perching on branches. They had only just seen the sprouts of the garden that had been planted in rich soil, but by peak summer at least a few of the herbs they had received from Hiroko should be ready to be made into medicines. Yet even now, the sweetness of maturing mango fruits filled the air.
Under the canopy that Yuuri had woven for them by the fine white sand of the eastern shore, Victor tucked new silks around the nest they had built together. It was a little strange, getting used to the full habits of a siren lifestyle, but as Yuuri had adapted to life on the ship, Victor was more than happy to adjust to life on a siren’s island.
His eyes kept flickering toward the blue of the sky, watching for his mate. Victor had finished clearing away the molted feathers Yuuri had left behind, still finding it all too cute that Yuuri sneezed and hissed at his own feathers as he shed them for the incoming colors of spring.
As soon as Yuuri’s new feathers had come in, he had been eager to spread his wings and take to the clouds, filling them with the air he had so missed while molting. He had looked conflicted, though, unable to decide whether he wanted to fly more or tend to his mate. Victor had made the decision for him, making the point that as soon as Yuuri returned, it would be likely that they would not be leaving the comfort of their nest for at least a couple of days.
