Rabbit did recognize him, but not from the ball. He too had seen Algernon in the otherworld before, as far back as the first time he'd been there.
"Oh, hey! Yeah," he replied softly with an answering grin. "I've got..." Rabbit carefully slid one of the bird people from his pocket and held it out just long enough to see before returning it to safety. Being the rowdier of the two, it flapped its arms in crisp little arcs while it was free, sending a couple of tufts of down slowly drifting to the floor. "I've got passengers."
He wondered if he should be telling someone who was essentially a complete stranger that he had the sirens, but his apprehension was short lived. Even if he was talking to a fetch, what would it do? A fetch's beef was with the one who it was replacing, not a pair of babies on the mundane side of town.
He raised his voice a little when Alg moved away, even though he wasn't very good at disguising the abnormality of their conversation. "I don't want to give my sister more to worry about by asking her to watch them when I'm at work, and I feel bad locking them up, but I think I have to. Regular birds don't have... fingers."

The good feelings wavered, his smile compressed between his lips.
"Yeah, I agree, but..." He drew the other bird out, the differences between them apparent when it remained still in his palm, staring Alg in the face. "They haven't gotten much bigger, but they haven't been hatched for very long either. I mean, I guess it's long for a bird, but for a person, not long at all. Maybe something with a lid that comes off instead of one of those little doors? I don't know."

"No sorry necessary," Alg's shoulders rose and fell in a short movement, "I agreed to it in a sense.." He'd agreed to something that would help him get stronger, it only turned out in retrospect that meant the noble trial.
"I'm not sure I should say but I can assure it was probably as least traumatizing as it could be," Though he'd clearly been put through something with the weight loss and the battle wounds. Alg lifted his brows, "Not someone who took any of you." Which meant it was one of them.
"But you would find out eventually I'm sure," Should any courtly matters pop up, "So it's only right to tell you. And if you need anything.." He wasn't sure what exactly was any different than before between them, they were still nearly strangers, but this was a common connecting thread.
Alg's hands slid into his pockets as they approached and looked at the cages. He even frowned himself, "They look a bit like jails don't they?"

Each individual statement that came out of Alg's mouth, from him having agreed to his service to being tithed by someone other than Melany or Ezra to his offer of aid, was already too much to digest on its own. Together they rendered Rabbit temporarily speechless, which was probably good, considering his first response to the jail thing was a petulant, I know, okay.
Instead he managed, "You too. Thank you," and took a couple of shuffling steps past the first few cages. He ran his fingers along the top of one that looked like it was made of wrought iron, tracing the bits of metal. Not iron, but more interesting than most of the others.
"Yeah, they do. But it's only for a little while, until..." He looked past Algernon and lowered his voice. "...they look like people. And if I put toys in there, maybe they won't mind. I think they sleep most of the time when I'm gone anyway."
