Zubs outburst caught the heron by surprise for a moment. Though after that he knew what he had to do, he would have to explain what he really meant. He stood up to placing the tea cup gently before he gazed up to Zuberi while he stood tall and proud before her, like most birds do when faced with danger or uncertainty.
"Zuberi, I did not think this of you, though if you think you know what your talking about then keep going, but listen to what I have to say first." he said as he walked over to where she stood though not too close.
"I am here to change the way the courts work, I wish to bring a new era of thought and prosperity. I am in contest to become one of the queens in the court, law only to the Queen himself. With that power I am going to work on getting things done the right way... I am a business man and I hate seeing people suffer see businesses close because they can't pay a tax! All of that is absurd! I am wishing to change this Tyranny into a government!"
He took that one steep closer to her, the one that could have been seen as either intimidation or just sizing up...
"Zuberi, I cam here for your help... to help me change the Court of Clubs. Don't you ever wish to change something for the better? With what you just said it would seem that their is much that you would wish to change... and by changing the courts you ultimately change the people around it.... who knows you and I could be the ones that changes a whole suit for the better." With this he was smiling now... he was full of ideals and beliefs... though if that would win him the minds of others then he would have won this war a long time ago. But he needs someone that has more back bone then he does, he needed Zub.
He reached out with his hand in a really formal way... then paused... "what is that Delicious smell?" completely side tracked by the food... birds...

Zuberi looked as if she were about to go off again, hairs standing on end, and lips contorting into a most vicious snarl. Her accusing finger jutted out as if she were about ready to poke him right between his eyes...
Then he changed the subject on her. Her face went into one of confusion, hand jutted out was lowered a bit as she made a confused noise in her throat. Finally, she snorted, turning away from him as if by some unknown force felt compelled to serve them. Taking the bowls and filling them, she put them roughly down on the table and began to eat her own.
"Expectin' to make a difference, eh? Hah! I'd like to see that. Doubtful you'd succeed.. but a keen idea all on its own. Sadly, power corrupts, mon. You'll get up on that hotseat and you'll feel that power a-boilin' through ya veins. Damnit. Sit down and fecking eat!" Snarl.

When he finished and waited for her to say something he got this strange feeling that she was bout to hurt him something serious as she glared at him and even had her finger pointed at him, as if that finger alone could end his life. He was getting scared but smiled a bit as she lowered the finger and turned around something serious...
He listened to her as he moved around the table carefully so that he didn't knock anything over with his wings. He nodded to what she said and jumped as she snarled at him. He took his seat obediently and picked up the silverware and dug in. He ate at the food that was placed before him silently before finishing half of his food before him. He would look up at her placing his silverware on the table next to the bowl.
"I am expecting to make a really big difference." he said cautiously looking for some sort of spite that would emit from Zub. "Though your right Zub, I might get overwhelmed and become a fat bureaucrat in the courts." he said with a shrug though afterwards he would place his hands on the table and look over at her with a seriousness in his eyes that was not their usually. "Though with you there, I know you can kick my ass and set me strait... your beliefs and ideas could better help with someone with the power to back them. I know I won't be able to do this alone... hence the reason that I came to you first." he said ending in taking a sip from the cup that he carried in with him. The tea was cooling but still slightly warm to the touch.

Slowly, Zuberi looked up at him, suspicious and unsure. The Courts. He wanted to help the courts. But... could the Courts do something for her? It had been a thought in her mind.. an inkling she had considered over the past few weeks after an... incident had occurred. Slowly, her look of rage faded, and she looked... contemplative.
It was... strange how quickly she relented now, but she was now dead set on a personal agenda that she would not be strayed from. It would be going against... everything she believed in. Well.... everything she thought she believed it.
But the only way to bring her attacker to justice was to bring it to the authority.
"Very well, den. I will agree to this. On one condition; I need help with.. an issue of mine that I feel may no longer be personal in nature. I was... attached some weeks ago. Before I increased in rank, and gained my human form." A self conscious hand went to her belly and she looked as if she felt ill, but it wasn't from the pregnancy she was implying; it was the thought of... the one that did this to her. "He needs to be brought to justice. I wish for you to take me to the Courts."

He would smile as she said that she would agree though when she stated that their were going to be a stipulation did he lose some of that. But it was to be expected. It was after all business right? You had to negotiate what and how things are going to progress right? When he sat quitly and just listened did he reach across the table to grasp her free hand in both of hers rubbing her knuckles with his new found thumbs.
"I'm sorry to hear that... and being as I'm going to be a queen in the Courts then I will make it my first priority to bring this person to justice. With you by my side helping me with what I need to do and what needs to be done I know for a fact that this person will be brought before the courts and that we could both change the way they operate. I assure you on my very feathers that I will do all that is possible."
He would squeeze just a bit to emphise what he was talking about, though he wouldn't do it too hard. He was after all her friend right? Wasn't this what friends to for one another?

She'd almost pulled away when he grasped her hand, but her tensions relaxed as he spoke. The show of concern at her plight was soothing. She gave his hand a small squeeze back before letting his feathered hand go, sitting back in her chair.
"Then we'll head back tomorrow then? I can hire a carriage; can't fly with these things, sadly." She spread the small wings on her back, the membranes becoming taught and the skulls staring sightlessly at whomever was in its past. Creepy, they were...
Zuberi didn't leave them out for display for long, tucking them behind her back neatly. She hadn't mentioned the pregnancy yet. She wasn't going to. She wanted to tell someone she trusted first.
Standing up, she looked almost.. pained. "Actually... I'm sorry. I think perhaps you should leave tonight. I need to leave as well; I need to make a stop at the Court of Hearts before I go to the Court of Clubs. Tell your Queen that I will come to the Court's call if they help me with this matter."

When she pulled away from his fingers did he marvel at her flesh... it was soft and well... it was weird to say the least. He watched her as she moved her small pairs of wings out from around her back showing the small bat like wings. He would nod at the request to buy a carriage than to fly just yet. He would stand as she sat though, taking a small bow after hearing what she had to say.
"My good Zuberi, my friend and adviser." he said as he stood back up "It isn't the courts that you will be gracing, or the Queen himself that you take the call from, but as a good friend to me." he said as he started to turn towards the door so that he could leave and make haste to the court of clubs.
He turned his long slender neck back looking over his shoulder. "I think you for your help in this matter... i really do hope that I can help you with what ever pains you." with that he started toe walk away towards the front door, forgetting the dishes and the fact that she was the host and he was just leaving. He was just doing as she said. Getting out till tomorrow when they meet the Queen of Clubs.

Zuberi gave him a small smile, seeing him out the door. "Till tomorrow, then." She knew he meant well. It was.. kind of sad that she may end up going over his head a bit for her own agenda. Oh, she wouldn't forget her friend; she wouldn't leave him high and dry at this point and time, but there were things that needed to be taken care of that was beyond him.. beyond her, even. With a frown, her hand went to her stomach again. She had suspected, and even denied... but the doctor had confirmed it just the other day...
She was with child.
As if sensing his owner's unease, the ace chicken walked up to rub his head against her leg. "There, there now. You'll be staying with nanna for a few days, hmm? Would you like that?"
