[Pearl wobbles as Quartz shoves his head foward past her shoulder to get a better look at Kida. His beak nudges against her hand, vibrating lightly thanks to a soft cooing noise in his throat. Well there was really no use in keeping the bird a secret now. Pearl steps aside, letting Quartz stand in front of Kida.]

He was a gift from ALASTAIR. I've kept him secret for a few weeks now. I didn't think he was ready to be seen until now. My riding skills with him have improved, however...

His behavior could use some work.

[Quartz huffs, almost giving Pearl a pout.]
