At the same time, he saw no reason not to allow the bird follow his own instincts, even if the determined animal didn't give him any opportunity to get off before it began to dig in the ground so fervently, the boy was forced to hang onto the feathered neck.

"...Um, Suzaku?" Could there be something really hiding in that particular spot?

Well. What can one do.
