Jarvis made his way down to the lake, all his thoughts were concentrated on the cool water that awaited him there. Seat covered his forehead, and parts of his shirt was soaked in sweat. Not a pretty sight to behold, but who could blame him in that condition after working hours on chores. He had finally gotten them done and now he had to entertain his new flits. The first week had been one of endless keening for food. The little green and bronze had been so demanding that Jarvis had been wondering if they were worth the work. But after the first week had passed they had stopped eating so much. Having grown from there constant feeding both were to large to fit in his hand. Though the green could more easily if she tried, the bronze was just to big.
Jarvis hadn’t picked a name for either yet, simply calling then bronzy, or greeny when they were needed, or getting into mischief. A favorite pastime of the little green. They flew around his head letting out little chirps of encouragement trying to make their bonded go faster. But Jarvis’s tired body wasn’t up to anymore exercise than needed, so he walked slow taking in the scenery.
Sitting down on a rock near the lakes edge, he watched as his little friends played in the air and water, having a ball by playing a energy killing game of follow-the-flit. Jarvis shook his head, the flits found something interesting to do wherever they were. They had to entertain themselves when he was busy, which was a lot of late. Greeny was being followed by bronzy, she was faster than her brother but soon she was caught. Off Bronzy went and Greeny followed at a slower pace, conserving her energy for a surprise burst of speed. Jarvis had seen this way of tactics many times since he had Impressed the flits, it still amazed him how intelligent they were. Lost in his own world watching his flits Jarvis didn’t hear the thing close by…
