Gu Ning scratched her head, a little embarrassed. She wasn't the type of person who could openly discuss such intimate matters with others.
However...
The being before her wasn't a person, but a bird. A bird with absolutely no human features, one that couldn't speak and could only chirp.
This did a lot to ease her awkwardness.
Before she could say a word, Ah Mo handed her a new note. "I'm not trying to pry into your private life. Philinos just asked me to buy some tasty treats for you, and I smelled the scent of heat on him. It's rare for a male to go into heat in winter, so I couldn't help but ask about it. I figured since you're living together and both in heat, you could just help each other out. If you don't like him, I'll get you out of here so he doesn't bother you."
After reading the note, Gu Ning recalled Philinos's earlier pained and restrained expression. She hesitated, then asked, "Does... does mating solve the... symptoms of being in heat?"
