graphic gore ★ genderfluid ★ gyrfalcon
The gyrfalcon tilted xyr head. Confusion flashed in those black eyes. But then the child overcame her fear by the power of hunger. Survival instincts! Knox’s explanation of xem was amusing, too. Vale chuckled to xemself, half-assed hiding that fact by tucking xyr face behind a speckled wing.
However, when the child attempted to speak to Vale, the shapeshifter didn’t hear it. The child might’ve been able to hear the reason why: Vale’s mind was a cacophony of bird calls and hawk shrieks.
Even so, Vale’s cognitive empathy was high enough to understand her wide grin meant gratitude. “No problem, kiddo!”
When Knox spoke, Vale squinted one eye at the lioness skeptically. “Kiddo spoke to you? Wow, you are the child-whisperer! I could never!” Then Vale looked to the not-quite cub, not-quite adult and bobbed xyr head up and down. “Knox is right. This slab of rock is boring!” Xe gestured with a wing to the tropical island next door (though, clearly, the forests were still flattened from the ecological crisis) and nodded again. “Way more food. Rest of our people are there, too, so you’ll get to meet plenty of not-birds!”
Vale had almost said you’ll get to meet the rest of us cannibals, but that seemed real fucking stupid to say, huh? Vale was proud of xemself for not fucking up that bit of trustbuilding!
However, then xe blinked. “Wait, Knox, did you call Kiddo little miss?! What kinda name is that?! That’s like calling me gore thing?! RUDE!”
