Alec reappears on the sun-lounger, legs crossed to watch Phoenix with the ducks. There is something just permanently adorable about Phoenix, especially with critters. Bread might be bad for birds, but Alec can dig up some tiny sardines from nowhere that he can toss at them. The little ducklings do get all excited at the random fish.

Zack will be stressful, but Phoenix is relaxing and he's missed the angel terribly. This will be fun. Maybe they'll do something different this time around. Right now, he's waiting for Phoenix to turn and see him, because it's funnier that way.

Admittedly, he will toss a fish at his head.

Because that's also funny.
