❰ the post is text, but with a video attached. it's a very simple scene, only seven seconds long. it shows off a wide-eyed wood duck in water, which is par for the course. as the lens zooms out, however (though obviously achieved by someone stepping backwards a few paces), the duck appears to be floating in the left side of a sink, surrounding counter top's wood soaked and water consistently lapping over the edge as he shifts in the water.

then he lets out a very loud...sound, and after the camera rocks a bit, a finger comes out to point at him with a scold. ❱

A-Niu. ❰ he repeats the sound, demanding, and the finger repeats a firm point. ❱ Ah! ❰ a softer bleat, suddenly submissive at the stern tone of the filmer's voice, before dunking the top half of his body into the water and causing more water to cascade down and over the counter. from there, it loops the seconds over and over again, until stopped. ❱

he is very cute but very noisy : )

[ Maybe someday Wen Ning will figure out how to change his username on this thing. At least he's figured out how to send written messages! That's step one in the right direction. ]

Is Lady Jiang taking up bird collecting too?

[soups]

❰ she's proud of you wen-gongzi :'( ❱

not collecting. this one just happened to choose me.

i put him out once, but he kept coming back. i figure it becomes rude after a certain point when he is so fond of me.

we are too familiar with each other.

He is not cute, he is evil and he hates me!

[ Somebody does not like his new nephew, nope. ]

[soups]

have you tried to be friendly with him?

❰ would you rather have no nephew again??? ❱

[legbreakings]

[ Wow! Rude! Why do you go right for the kill, Yanli. ]

I have tried! He pecked me! And smacked me with his wings!

[soups]

oh? were you hurt ?

what did you do to make him so angry?

[legbreakings]

He hates me!

[soups]

a-cheng. i don't think that was an answer.

maybe you're both under the impression that you are the man of the house.

[legbreakings]

WHY AM I NOW COMPETING AGAINST A DUCK TO BE MAN OF THE HOUSE!

[soups]

you are not. he is a territorial animal though and doesn't understand our human roles

there isn't a need to type at me in all capital letters

[legbreakings]

Sorry, Jiejie

[soups]

it's alright. but i know that the all big letters means yelling !

i'll have to introduce you to niuniu in a proper and positive way. so he can be the head duck and you can be the head human.

[legbreakings]

But Jiejie, do I have to? I don't want to play nice with him.

[deferences]

What a beautiful duck! And such a cute noise he makes, too!

Lady Jiang, would I be allowed to come visit sometime? I promise to bring snacks to help keep him occupied.

[soups]

if he continues coming around, i would hate for you two to have a bad relationship.

[soups]

isn't it interesting? it isn't the sound i expected from a duck.

you are always welcome in this home, especially as family. any snacks are essentially optional, but gratefully appreciated.

[legbreakings]

But why do I have to be the mature one making amends! Why can't he do it! I was here first!

[soups]

you want a duck to make amends with you ?

[legbreakings]

Of course I do! He started it!

[soups]

a-cheng, how would you like him to do this?

[legbreakings]

[ ... ]

That's for him to figure out, isn't it!

[soups]

i'll have to ask him what his plan is then.

or you could ask him yourself if you'd like

[legbreakings]

A-jie?

Are you making fun of me?
