She lowered her beak to lightly preen Qiongzhi's hair, built a tiny little nest for herself right there, and whimpered as she settled in, declaring, "I'm just sticking with you from now on."
Qiongzhi raised a hand to touch her own hair.

She nodded solemnly and replied, "I'll take good care of you."
