Nam cants his head ever so slightly to one side as he watches the bird. Of all the places for such a destructive thing to land, it had to be in him home, near his river. All he cares about in this world is right here, and he risks losing it to a ball of flame and ash. Which means he risks losing himself to this troublesome bird. And yet he simply can't bring himself to force the bird elsewhere. Sure, Gaja said he doesn't have the strength to move on, but Nam possesses the strength to move him. To be completely honest, Nam possesses the jaws and teeth to eat the bird as well, but he'll do neither.

Nam will watch the bird as he's doing now, and he'll watch the surrounding area as he's always done. He'll take care of any stray sparks and errant flames. He'll risk losing everything to watch over this bird who unknowingly came to him.

"I'm not afraid of your flames. Besides, I told you I'll not allow you to burn my river bank, which means keeping an eye on you until your fire's gone out."
