If you see the big not-quite-a-bird in the sky circling around please don't shoot.

I mean. You're not going to hit me, but it's kinda rude.

Also, I'm Hawks. If you need anything at all, just let me know.

Sure, why not? I'm really fast, I'd make a great delivery service.

I'm a hero. No job is too small for me.

[emberized]

Well what if they don't even know and are asking you to decide?

[The point is that he's trying to help you realize you're being way too lenient, buddy!]

There's gotta be a limit

[velocityraptor]

Then I would recommend chicken skewers! Or fried chicken.

[ Don't mind his terrible raptor tastes. ]

Uh, not really. I won't do anything criminal, that's about it.

[emberized]

You're not supposed to just agree!

[Yeah, spoken like a true hero type all right; what Axel knows of them anyway.]

Whatever floats your boat I guess.
Wouldn't catch me being that careless.

Lemme guess. Paladin?

[velocityraptor]

Why not? There's no harm in getting someone a snack if that's what would make them happy.

I'm curious what's careless about it.

Yeah, happen to be, but I don't like being on the boat that much. The floor moves under my feet. It's so creepy!

[emberized]

I don't know about less creepy but Corsair ships sure don't

[Floor moving??? Oh. The reasoning suddenly clicks into place.]

Heh You really are most at home in the air!

Hey wait a second
You're not the guy from the tattoo parlor?

[velocityraptor]

Oh well if they don't maybe I should check out the Corsair ships.

[ He can make friends with people who are ideologically opposed to him, can't he? ]

I also like the highest places I can find.

That would be me, I assume. I was there and made a huge mess with my wings. Didn't really think that through. It was on me.

[emberized]

Can't say I don't prefer them myself

[He has perched upon many a rooftop, come to think of it.]

That was you.

[Axel confirms.]

I didn't see the point in getting inked up, left after our little chat.

Little did I know I'd end up back there after all

[velocityraptor]

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to drive you away, if I did.

I'm not thrilled about the tattoo, I bring that home and my handler is going to really give it to me. They'd have to cover it up next time I had to do a photo shoot.

Ah well, I hope your tattoo wound up okay. I'd hate to be quirkless myself.

[emberized]

Oh yeah, it does its job.
I've seen things transferred to cards once, why not ink?

Just thought I'd be splitting town a lot sooner

But it looks like I found a reason to stick around after all

[velocityraptor]

Ah that makes sense. I met some of the cute little students who told me that there's not really any way out of here so I knew leaving wouldn't be so easy.

It would still be weird without my wings. I hope that's a positive thing for you though.
