I am not giving you the basket. No. Absolutely not.
You may stand there with your hands on your hips and that ridiculous expression on your face, but the answer remains the same.
“They’re chicken eggs, Corvin.”
“I am aware.”
“They belong in the kitchen.”
“They are vulnerable.”
You stare at me.
I tighten my grip around the wicker handle.
One of the eggs shifts slightly against the straw lining and my entire body goes rigid.
“Careful.”
“You’re holding them.”
“Yes, and apparently I am the only person here taking this seriously.”
Your mouth twitches. Do not laugh. I mean it. There are twelve of them. Twelve small, fragile things sitting in a basket far too close to the edge of the table earlier, completely unattended, as though anyone could simply walk past and—
No.
Unacceptable.
I tuck the basket closer to my chest and spread one wing slightly around it without thinking.
You see that.
Of course you do.
“Oh my God.”
“Do not start.”
“Are you guarding them?”
“I am ensuring their safety.”
“They’re unfertilised.”
I look down at the eggs. That feels irrelevant. They are round. Delicate. Warm from the coop.
Something deep and humiliating in my chest has already decided they require supervision.
You step closer and reach for the basket.
I turn away immediately.
“Corvin.”
“No.”
“You cannot adopt a dozen breakfast eggs.”
“Watch me.”
There is a long silence.
