I don't care if anyone--

[cuts himself off as he notices the misshapen wing, and tries to touch it]
gigadevilbreaker: (Caught off guard)

[Nero flinches immediately, shrinking into himself]

Don't...!

[lifts his talon away, holding it up]

... I won't hurt you, Nero.

[He has to consciously force himself to relax, but it still makes him uncomfortable to have his arm looked at, much less touched.]

I know, but...

It's a cruel thing they've done. You can't fly like this, can you?

[His face burns hot in shame, and he says nothing - clamming up. But his silence is a confirmation.]

Oh, Nero.

[touches his cheek with his talon, gently]

... let me help you.
gigadevilbreaker: (Suddenly shy)

But everyone can still see it...

Their opinions of you hardly matter, especially if they think to pity you for it.

Would it be better if we had someone from future is now engineer a synthetic wing attachment of some kind?
gigadevilbreaker: (Peace with myself)

[Even though that's clearly the more comfortable option for him, he still feels stupid for it.]

It'd just be useless once the game ends, anyway. And Jason's not here, either...
selfpreservationist: (and the want of thought is death;)

So what if it's useless later? If it helps you now, what does it matter?

If you want to fly, there is no good reason to hold yourself back.

...I do wanna fly. I love flying. Just--

[he takes a deep breath]

This-- jealousy. It won't go away. Feels like I'm choking with it.

[more preening, gonna fuss all over nero now]

[hrrrfff lets him preen]

Feels easier t'try and punch everyone with wings instead...

[strokes his talons gently through nero's hair, over and over]

Don't punch me. I can't take it.

[closes his eyes, savouring it]

I wouldn't. You're mine.
