( damon can feel sam's rapid approach as well, so he doesn't bother with any more words through the link. all sam gets is damon's own amusement mingling with his, and the impression that this isn't over — there will be more terrible pet names in his future.
when sam enters with the bird on his arm, damon's eyebrow shoots up, and he's off the couch and on his feet almost before he realizes it, a quirk of a smile on his face. )
That is my surprise? I get you a jacket and you get me a bird?
( the delight in his voice is clear — it's been a while since damon has had a pet. he'd had to kill merlo to survive stefan's forced cleanse, and there's just never been time or reason to get another. bonding with an animal in the way necessary to form that connection he had with merlo takes time, commitment, effort, none of which damon was willing to spend back in mystic falls when there was so much else that required his immediate attention.
he has missed having a companion, and birds always were his favourites. )
[ Sam would be disappointed if it was over; he's expecting so many more awful pet names. It's - well, it's something Sam appreciates, having the kind of friendship with Damon where he can do stupid shit.
And seeing Damon's delight in his present, Sam can't help but grin back.
He reaches up to stroke over the bird's head, rolling his eyes with a little chuckle when the bird snaps its beak at Sam's hand before allowing him to scratch his fingers through its feathers, two pairs of eyes sliding shut in contentment. ]
He's too old to be with the other babies now, and I thought of you. I think we both got a fondness for birds. [ He holds his arm out, offering the alien creature to Damon. ]
