The first one? He's an undead bird, not telepathic.
( gosh axel, don't be a moron. merlo flies out of the darkness where his perch is kept and lands on the back of ric's seat, cawing at damon before turning his gaze on axel. the crow blinks at him and tilts his head to the side — it almost looks like he's as boggled by axel's existence as damon is. )
I assume he is, he's been with me for over a hundred years. Either that or there's a species of unnaturally long-lived crows in Virginia that no one's ever discovered.
( this is totally normal, axel, idk what your problem is.
merlo blinks at axel, head tilting even more sharply. after a moment, he caws again.
I've never met any other vampires with undead animals, if that's what you mean.
( damon used to be something of a bleeding heart who gave a bird with a broken wing his blood. probably not a lot of other vampires would even bother to see if that kind of thing would work, hence very few supernatural animals.
merlo is not helping with damon's assertions that he's not actually sapient — as soon as axel asks him not to move, he stays stock still, wings slightly outstretched and beak open as he blinks up into the camera. when the flash goes off he caws again and takes off back toward his perch.
( ...no, don't compliment his bird, he might actually start to like you!!!
merlo's perch is a fake dead tree in the corner of the bar (#aesthetic). he's sitting on one of the highest branches, looking down at axel as he approaches. damon's following behind, keeping an eye on both of them. if merlo likes axel enough to pose for him, maybe damon should give him a chance. )
Seriously? He's a bird, he doesn't know what you're showing him.
( but damon does, show him how pretty his birb is ty. merlo ruffles his feathers out and begins to preen while damon tries to look entirely uninterested as he looks at the shots axel took.
...and then can't help a small laugh at creature feature. he appreciates puns, okay? )
The one on the chair was the best.
( trying to think of a way he can ask for a personal copy without sounding like he cares....... )
