Slade stopped as the strange bird landed right on his shoulder, confused as to why the bird landed on him of all places. "Hello there," Slade said to bird on his shoulder, "Need something?" Flare immediately began to growl as soon as got a sniff of the bird, there was something about his smell that rubbed him the wrong way. "Huh, Flare why are you growling?" Soon, Sasuke came back after noticing Slade stopped following him and saw the Swellow on his shoulder, though he was still among the trees standing on a branch watching the dog growl and occasionally bark at the bird on his new trainer's shoulder. He felt as if he knew this Swellow from somewhere before but he couldn't quite but his finger on it.
