[nemhain.]

Nemhain, very obviously, could not read Sanzu's mind. After all, Nemhain was tapped into and connected to the mind of Rin, not anybody else, and she didn't really have any desire to peek inside the minds of others. However, Nemhain really didn't need to be connected with Sanzu's mind to tell that the child wanted to move. Much like Nem's restlessness after she had finally awakened from within Rin, Sanzu was restless after waking up from being asleep for so long, and it made Nem feel a sort of kinship to the much smaller little creature. If Sanzu ever wanted to get around more quickly than her tiny legs could ever currently carry her, Nem would be more than happy to let the child rest between her shoulder blades as she sped through the sky as fast as her huge form could move. Sanzu would probably have to hold on pretty damn tightly, of course, but Nem would make sure that she didn't get hurt. After all, the child seemed to like her, and Nemhain also doubted that Rin would be overly pleased if the fenghuang let Sanzu plummet down and get injured, so she would be careful. She had never really needed to be careful before, but... she could learn.

As the fenghuang settled alongside the fresh kill pile, she heard Sanzu's poor attempts to replicate the name of her species, and it was almost enough to make the female laugh. Not in a mocking way, but just at the way that children were so... different. They seemed so odd to Nemhain, who had never really had a childhood to speak of, since she was born from personality and desires, rather than like a normal bird. Slowly nodding her head, Nemhain said simply with a shift of her large wings in something akin to a shrug, "I... do not have any qualms about you simply saying... 'big birdie.' Although you can simple call me Nem, if that is easier for you, lady Sanzu." She then listened closely when the child provided the information on her favorite foods, the large avian's scrunching up a bit in confusion at the first part. Cookies...? She knew what cookies were, and could remember them from Rin's memories, but... such an odd thing to have as a favorite food. Nem then lifted her head, stiffening a bit when she heard Rin's voice inside of her head. Even for the persona, it would take some... time. To get used to being awake, and actually being able to communicate with Rin. Dipping her head a but, Nem sent back through their connection, shifting on her talons, Very well, lady Rin. She then said softly, glancing at the fish that Rin had gotten for Sanzu, "While you enjoy that... I will obtain you some water, as well." Nemhain then cocked her head to one side for a moment, watching Sanzu's reaction, before she launched herself back up into the sky, flapping off to go get the child a bucket of water.
