Theodore couldn't help but notice everyone in the room seemed to have a different idea when it came to dealing with these stones, other than him and Birbin seemingly being fine with just tossing them outside and letting them sort themselves out. Wick wanted to bury them in a bottle for some reason, whereas Katia went for the less obvious approach and pondered on the possibility of tossing them into a cask. The Monster Slayer briefly regretted giving away the stone he had had to this wildly unpredictable girl, but what was done was done.

Birbin's reaction was something he had expected, the gnome getting flustered and encouraging the stones to be just tossed away already. Theodore nodded almost invisibly at the suggestion, but since he had given them off his hands he didn't believe there to be much for him to make decisions on. That was, until Cesar inquired on his expertise regarding handling animals, perhaps even training these birds. He entertained the thought for a while, that was for sure. It would be amazing to fly among the clouds, to strike at the enemy from the sky with his weapon, to deliver swift justice from places others could not reach... but the grim reality was, it'd take considerable effort to get there. Effort they could not spare right now.

"That is an interesting idea, Cesar. However, you are trusting on me being able to tame a completely wild giant of a bird. Birds are quite free spirited creatures, I don't know if taming them is possible in the first place... And while I could think about that some more still, you do realise that it would take a long time to try and see. We are not able to spare that time, we have the kingdom of Darkness to vanquish. And the kingdom of Light to save", he responded, the answer ending in a sad note. He truly hoped they would have the time, but right now it didn't look like it at all. "Besides, where would we keep them anyhow?" he added, this question being quite genuine. They couldn't just drag around a wild bird that could easily lift them off the ground.
