It's hard being an immortal without the internet, I tell you

[It's...it's a secret!]

I couldn't hold the gasp coming out of my mouth when Jade refused to tell me what it was talking about with D'ara.

"S...secret? You don't want to tell me?"

The little bird looked panicked at my shocked face, rubbing its wings together while avoiding my eyes. It was...cute, but also...

Ugh--what is this sadness inside my heart?

[B-but...Master also...keep secret from Jade!] the little bird suddenly made an excuse.

"I'm keeping secrets from you? What are you talking about?" I blinked in confusion. This bird could literally sense all of my emotions, so I couldn't even try to make a poker face in front of Jade. Not that I needed to, but...

[Master...Master cut connection with Jade when Master with Nightmare inside the bedroom!]

...Oh. My. God. 

Did my little bird just use my bedroom activity as a bargaining chip?!
