One Feather / [Orb]

[italktobirds]

[On the Orb feed is a strange sort of man. His skin is gray, for starters, and are those… wings coming out of the sides of his head? They might just be. That’s weird.]

[Well, he wouldn’t think they were weird, but that’s beside the point. Just look at that huge grin plastered on his face. He’s got more important things to talk about than why all you mortals don’t have wing ears too!]

Hello! I’m Hawk. Who are all of you?

[He seems rather… enthusiastic. And he really wants to know all your names too! Those aforementioned wing ears? They’ll just flutter a little in excitement. ]

[So, what are you going to do with this big bird-man?]

[Faolan's head tilts to enter side.]

Aren't Hawk. [Duh. Don't you think Faolan would know Hawk when he saw him?]

[italktobirds]

But... I am!

[His ears drop and he looks a little worried. H-how can he not be who he is?!]

That's who I've always been...

[somewhatpointy]

[This is a little too much cheer for Ryo to take. He seems unaffected by the whole bird-man thing going on here; after all, he turns into a bug-man. The cheerfulness is far harder to deal with than the bird-ness.]

Name's Ryo.

[Liara is silent for a moment before she speaks.]

I've never seen anyone quite like you, before.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

But don't look like Hawk! Hawk left!

[steelhearted]

...Are you all right?

[That looks like a curse to him.]

[italktobirds]

O-oh...

[He looks honestly distressed for a few moments before an idea dawns on him.]

Maybe he was a different Hawk! A Hawk who isn't me!

[italktobirds]

Hello, Ryo! [Oh that does have a nice ring to it.] Would you like to be friends?

[This is a serious proposition here.]

[italktobirds]

That's what people said back in Boston, too!

[He might have freaked some people out, actually, but of course he took all of it as compliments.]

I'm not sure what I am, but I've never seen any others like me.

[italktobirds]

I'm fine!

[Being eight feet tall and gray certainly isn't bothering him!]

[somewhatpointy]

[This...is...not natural. It's like if Shouichi were made into a bird-man. Ryo's looking around the area like he thinks this is some sort of joke.]

...I don't really do that whole friendship thing.

[shadow_sage]

[Liara considers that for a moment.]

That must have been very lonely, at times.

[steelhearted]

Oh.

[He blinks.]

That's...good?

[shinkenyellow]

I'm Kotoha! Nice to meet you!

[Yes, she's seen them. But it's rude to stare and point you know!]
