Being an animal of flight was not congruous with having friends in a group dominated by the flightless. That, and Cyprian's natural avoidance of social situations made it so the phoenix spent most of his time alone. A large part of him preferred it that way. So many times he'd gone through the process of getting to know someone, at some point it became old. The niceties felt like a script played out millions of times. But there was something to be said about try companionship. The hurt and joy that came from relations made life worth the effort.
-------So it was with this mindset that Cyprian sought out an associate he was least likely to offend, or really, least likely to have to put real effort into conversation with. No hard questions asked, just simple camaraderie. That was how he found himself fluttering down into the shallow tidepools in the company of Pochi and Vinicius. Two of the least trying members of the Typhoon - just his luck.
-------Wading his way over Cyprian took a glance into the canine's bucket. Eyes dilated on the still-moving organisms within. "Lovely job. Are you helping, Pochi?" his emerald gaze shifted to the awkward feline with a casual tilt of his head. Making sure not to disturb Vic's waters the ave moved to a pond within eyesight of the others. "I've always had better luck from above but-" head dunking under the water he returned with a yellow slug-like thing which he deposited in Vinicius' pail "-I can still catch the slow ones." Cyprian finished before shaking his head, feathers fluffing out with a spray of water. Swaying his tail in quick succession the bird looked to Vinicius for approval.
