[ Anyone who happens to have one of Hawks' feathers, either because he gifted it, or they just happened to pick one up, will find that three days ago they darkened a shade or two as the connection to the man himself was cut off - they are now disconnected feathers, and would need to be replaced sometime in the future, if one still wanted one. ]

Hello! Sorry to trouble everyone, but I need a favour.

I'm on Eltrut, and I need a ride to either my crew's island or out to their ship, or something. It's not a rush, but if someone's willing to make the trip I can help out with chores on board, or even pay you if you get me back to my place.

[ Hawks has never, outside of MANTA board requests, set foot on a ship willingly for any length of time, in fact, usually he's flying where he wants to go.]

I appreciate it, thanks.

[ He nods, but unlike Axel, he's not terribly upset about it. Now that he's gotten some semblance of rest, his mind is clearing up and he was not thinking straight when he arrived. He can admit that. ]

Something like that. They look after sick and wounded animals. Usually I'm a guard, not a patient.

[ He's kidding. ]

I'll be able to walk around in a day or two, I can go out and look at the animals, or follow Richie around or something. Hopefully.

[ Hawks is in rough shape, really, this is by far the worst injury he's suffered in his storied history. ]

I'm just glad the wings will come back.

"Guard? Then this is a place of work for you."

[A noise of understanding. That makes more sense. Should have led with that, silly! Axel nods, a little more somber.]

"They'll be back before ya know it."

[His wings. Even if Hawks knows it, sometimes it just needs to be said by someone else. Just as Axel ought to tell Hawks not to push it, that he probably shouldn't be on his feet that soon again, but the assassin knows the difference on which to voice. The hero will do as he will regardless. Axel is sure of that.]

"I should probably leave you to that beauty rest if you're planning to get up to all that excitement, then."

[He stretches, unable to help but pause.]

"..Y'need anything?"

[velocityraptor]

[ It is a place for work for him, but it's the easiest job he's ever had to chase poachers away. He smiles and shakes his head a little bit. Does that hurt? Yeah, but it's fine. Pain he can handle. ]

No, I'm good. I'll sleep. Thanks for coming to check on me.

"Anytime." [Axel murmurs, absentmindedly righting any fabric that shifted from the subtle movement.]

"You know I'm just a call away and I probably got even less going on than you do."

[Regardless of whether that is true or not he'll make it true in the moment, if Hawks calls for him. The Nobody owes the hero that much.]

"It's good to see you again."

[velocityraptor]

[ His smile is in his eyes and he nods and closes them. He'll reconnect with Axel again soon. He's glad to see him again, circumstances aside. They always get along in some way and that makes him think they might be friends.

He'll think about that later. ]
