As he took to the sky again with the message, Jack felt a little pride in herself. She was happy she was training him so well in things she hadn't quite trained before as well. She didn't know how to help a little animal fly, and yet here she was with a flying Jibiji who was having no issues with flying around with a message. She finally had him land on the table and then took the message from him, giving him a big seed in the process. Giving him a laugh, she patted him on the head as he ate, and then she stretched out her shoulders. Just one more thing before he could get that harness and then they would be set for just a little while she figured. Jack wanted him to know who she was anyway, which was a good thing and all that, as time went on it would be fine.

Now was the tricky part, teaching him to come to her whenever he had a message. She raised an eyebrow and wondered if she was up for this, but that was fine, they could get this done no matter what. Jack chewed her lip for a moment and then shook her head a little bit, she could get this done real quick and then they could move on to the fun stuff. "Jack," she said, patting her chest and giving Tobi a seed when he hopped onto her finger when it was offered. "Jack," she said again, bringing him closer to her so he could associate the word with herself. It would be easier if she had some help, but she didn't think she would get any help with it at the moment, so she would just forge on and try to get things done with everything at the moment at least.

"Jack," she said again, patting her chest, and Tobi leaned forward on her finger to poke at her chest and chirp a little bit. He tilted his head, chirped again, and then hopped onto her shoulder. That was good enough for her, and she gave him a big seed for his troubles. It was almost as though things weren't going to go wrong between the two of them, and that was fine by her at the moment. Jack grinned and set him on the table, having him hop up onto her finger and then get off onto the table top. Things would go well so far, she figured, and she didn't know what else to do at the moment, but then it hit her a little bit. Of course she needed to do more right now, but until then, she could do something else for a little while... Jack smiled, she had an idea.

Jack took a few steps back and then said her own name, not tapping her chest this time to test him, "Jack, Tobi." Tobi stared at her for a moment and then fluttered over to her, perching on her head, little talons clinging to her curly hair. Giving a chuckle, the woman patted him on the head, untangled him from her hair, and then wondered what all she needed to do now. Of course she was eventually going to hide and try to get him to find her, which was going to be the point of the whole exercise, he needed to recognize her, which he did, but he needed to be able to find her as well, which was quite important when sending messages. Jack smiled a little and then shook her head a bit, it didn't matter too much she thought, but at least she had a bit of a plan no matter what, right?

The woman took a few more steps back and said her name again, "Tobi, Jack." He flew directly over to her and landed on her shoulder, having learned it wasn't the best idea to get tangled in her mess of curly hair. She chuckled at him and patted him on the head for doing a good job, as well as giving him a little seed for doing so well too. It was almost time for them to be done and to go on to more fun things, but for now they had one more trial and all that, which meant she needed to get this done and everything. She smiled a little and shook her head, wondering what she was in for at the moment, hoping he had it down so he could find her and everything, and the woman chewed on the inside of her cheek a little bit, worrying about what he would do.

Jack ran off and ducked behind a tree when Tobi wasn't looking, and she heard the confused chirps from where she was. Then she called it out again, "Tobi, Jack!" Tobi flew into the air and looked around this way and that, hovering for a moment before he finally caught a glimpse of her behind a tree, and then he sped over to her and loudly made it clear in front of her face that he wasn't pleased she had run off and left him behind. Jack laughed and gave him a big seed for his troubles as he landed on her finger, and she nuzzled her cheek against his as he ate it. Things were going well so far, and she thought he had down all the basic messenger tricks, but they had more fun things to go for here pretty quickly. She just hoped he wouldn't be too bored when it came to the fun stuff.

Peck - 1
Jack was back with the little Jibiji the next day after their little walk through the Mansion's gardens. They hadn't been there for very long, but that was fine by her she figured without an issue. Jack smiled a little as she tried to figure out what to teach the little bird next, and then finally decided. He had to defend himself somehow and all that, and that was fine she figured, so that's what it was going to be. The woman put Tobi onto the picnic table, a little stick in front of him, he was going to learn how to peck at things. She figured that might help eventually. "Peck!" she told him, and helped him to bend over a little, tapping his beak against the stick. Tobi shook himself off when her hand came off of him and he chirped angrily at her, fluttering his wings and looking a little downtrodden at the thought.

Tobi would be fine, he just had to learn this move before they could go on to another one it seemed. "Peck, Tobi!" she told him again, pushing his beak against the stick. He tapped it a time or two, earning him a little seed for a job well done. She grinned at him, at least he picked up on things rather quickly she thought as she watched him. She was proud of him, and of herself at the moment, she hadn't worked with many small animals before, but he was shaping up nicely it seemed. Jack was sure he would get this down pretty quickly, just like everything else, but that was going to take a little while still. It took some time to get things worked out after all. She smiled at him and patted his back lightly, things would work out alright for them, they just had to keep moving.

He needed to peck a little harder though if he was going to do any damage to anything, which was the point of it all. "Come on Tobi, peck!" she called to him, urging him on as best as she could for the moment. Jack smiled when he tapped the stick then glanced up at her, "You can do better, peck!" He narrowed his eyes, gave an angry chirp for a moment (he hadn't quite forgiven her for disappearing when he was learning to find her), and then jabbed at the stick again with his little beak. It started to crack a little, and the woman cheered happily before giving him a big seed. It was a good thing it was a small stick, she wasn't used to this kind of thing, usually things were a lot bigger when she trained them, and it was a little frustrating coming up with a training plan for him.

Jack patted him on his little head as he ate his seed, holding it in his front little claws as he worried the little seed casing off of the bit of meat inside of it. It was a good strategy, but she wondered why the scientists had given them arms as well. Maybe for this exact reason? She had no idea really. Jack pointed at the stick again when he was done, "Peck Tobi!" Tobi stared at her for a moment, chirped, and then jabbed his beak at the stick again, breaking it a little further. It was more of a twig really, which was fine all things considered. She smiled at him and shook her head a little before giving him another little seed. Soon enough she wouldn't be giving him one when it came time to do the move, and that was fine by her. The little seeds had to last somehow.

There wasn't anything else to do except to test him at the moment, which was definitely something she could do at the moment. "Okay Tobi, peck!" she told him again, and he chirped and then tapped the stick hard enough to finally break it in half. He trilled whenever she gave him a big seed, he'd done a wonderful job and he deserved it. Honestly he was one of the more vocal animals she had trained so far, she figured, him and Given. Sure Kro gave a grunt every now and then, but not often like Tobi was doing. He whistled as he broke the seed apart to get to the meaty goodness inside and then chewed it up carefully before swallowing. The little bird then flew up to her shoulder and perched there, nuzzling her cheek with his. He was a sweetheart, and she figured the big seed had been enough to apologize for disappearing on him.

Slap - 1
She had never taught anything to peck something before, and like that, she had never taught anything to slap something with a wing before either. However, that was what she was going to do now, and she took half of the stick and sat it upright on the picnic table. "Slap it, Tobi!" she told him, taking one of his wings and tapping the stick with it. It fell over and he trilled a little, but she gave him a seed to indicate that was the desired outcome of the attack. He tilted his head this way and that, trying to figure it out as he ate the seed, crunching it with his little beak. Things would work out for them, she knew it, and that was all she really needed to know before time told a different story. At least she was willing to work with smaller animals than what she was used to.

Slap - 2
Jack sat the stick upright again with a smile on her face. She whistled a little, Tobi joining in, until she pointed at the stick again, "Slap it, Tobi!" He looked at her, then at the stick, then back to her again, before she took his wing and slapped it against the stick fairly hard, hard enough to knock it over and send it back a little ways. She smiled at him and then gave him another seed, ready to get this training really going after awhile. She thought it was wonderful, and she hoped that he would be able to work it out in time as well. Jack just knew she didn't have a lot to go on at the moment, but that was alright, at least she had seen a twinkle of understanding in his eyes, though she knew he wouldn't do it quite hard enough for her for awhile.

Slap - 3
All she knew was that he was understanding what she was asking of him, which was always a good thing she thought. She smiled at him and then sat up the stick again, pointing at it, letting him do it this time, "Tobi, slap it!" The little bird ruffled his feathers for a moment and then slapped the stick a little with his wing. It tipped over, it didn't slide back any, but that was a great first solo attempt she thought. Jack patted him on the head and then gave him a little seed for his troubles, smiling as he trilled happily at it. He really was rather vocal it seemed, and it didn't hurt that he was a quick learner as well. She just hoped he would keep it up with the rest of their training for now, and hopefully it would actually do them some good sometime in the future.

Slap - 4
Little Tobi knew he was doing something well, but there was always room for improvement. When the woman helped him out, the stick had gone backwards, not just falling over, but moving entirely as well. She gave the command again, "Slap it, Tobi!" Tobi slapped the stick hard, trilling when it moved backwards and fluffing up his feathers as he did so. He was pleased with himself it seemed, and she let him rejoice whatever way he could for the moment it seemed. She chuckled at him and gave him another seed, they were an interesting species, Jibiji, very happy and all that, and she wondered if the rest of them were like that as well. Auburn seemed rather happy as well, so it must have been a species thing, not quite an individual trait. She smiled at him as he worked on the seed, and hoped the training would continue to go well.
