"in your dream"

How I imagine it goes from here:

"The Bird. Yae."
"Sheesh, you're no fun. What's gotten into you?"
"Now!"
"Oh, but that illusion is already shattered! The bird wasn't real! My my: did you really fall for such simple street magic? Your senses have dulled after being pent up for so long, Ei!"

"Give me the bird!"
"We'd love to, really, but the Fox censors won't allow it."
