[The words encourage the small bird to start taking a more solid shape. At first this manifests as cherry blossom petals, which swirl and inlay themselves to actually look like a bird might look if its feathers were that size and shape. The bird stays small though, not growing beyond about six inches in height. Twelve, if you count the long tail.
It moves about like a real bird might: adjusting its wings, tilting its head at Merlin, hopping around in Watanuki's hand. This gets Watanuki to perk up more, because he can feel it moving around. And this is also when Watanuki finally cracks one of his eyes open to look at it.]
I did it?
[He sounds so surprised by the results he has gotten. Even if it's not a complete success yet- it needs to be able to manifest without being made of flowers- it's still something. And it's really cute, just as Merlin said.]
