MaFurufuru
"MaFurufuru," Riku said quietly looking at the falcon as it dipped and dived on air currents only it could surf.
"Excuse me?" Shuji, who was beside Riku, asked.
"Nothing… just… a word that came to mind for some reason." Riku said.
Shuji nodded but not really understanding. He looked out at the family pet as it filled the air with its high pitch call. "She's beautiful, isn't she?" Shuji said, absentmindedly. "You took good care of her."
Riku smiled for a moment at the compliment. "She has been a good companion. Weren't you worried when I left with her?"
Shuji looked out at the bird as it banked left and glided only a few feet away from the Dream Glider. "I missed her… but I hoped that Lassie would be happier at Your side then here with me. I'm glad I was right."
They watched as Lassie made a twirl before coming to land on the railings in between the brothers. The bird looked at the two brothers, each eye reflecting either of the brothers' smiling visages. They both reached out for the brown falcon and each touched a wing.
