*goes through Lego Robin tag*

To Sir Robin and Dally, I am very happy that you live in Lima now. Here is a housewarming gift for you. I do not know why it is called that. They won't make things warmer, but I do hope that they make you smile. Love, Sky

As Robin sat peacefully by the riverside he removed his hat and gently turned it over in his hand, seeing one of his mice crawl from his cloak to go into its little spot in the hollow of the hat. The mage waited for a moment before he placed the hat down and reached around his body, patting the other's frequent hiding spaces. Panic began to set into him as he turned and looked around him, scrambling to his feet before he froze like a deer in headlights.

Before him, at the edge of the burrow, stood a massive vulture. As it stepped over the threshold every plant in its vicinity began to wilt as the winter winds finally entered. The creature slowly straighted into a more humanoid form with a birdlike head on top, dragging blackened obsidian feathers along the ground as it came closer and closer to the mage, the air growing colder with each step.

Robin felt the world beginning to fade away around him as he stared up into the creature's face, finally able to blink when it stood only a few feet before him. It was horribly tall as it turned its harsh gaze down to its vessel, an amalgamation of shifting shapes came from its feathers before it finally settled on the visage of a hand. The creature touched Robin's cheek, a kind gesture as the knuckles ran down his jaw before it pulled away and brought its other hand out.

Small squeaks filled the air as Robin watched the entity dangle his missing mouse in front of him, obviously in pain as it was moved around by its tail. Its tiny paws reached as far as they could to try and find solid ground again and as Robin reached towards it, his body clammed up. Everything felt as if it was fading around him once more as he witnessed the entity open its great wide beak and drop the mouse into it. The crunching of bone and dripping of blood nearly sent Robin into a fit of sickness, the world didn't seem real anymore. He winced violently as the birdlike creature got incredibly close to him and tilted its head to observe him. Surely…surely this was some sort of test?

He felt his stomach flip once more as the entity held his face in both of its hands and forced him to look as it opened its maw, showing the results of its carnage. Tears formed in his eyes and he whimpered like a scared child as the bird shut its mouth again, rolled its beak, and loud squeaking came from inside.

"…P-Please give him back, please, I-I'll be loyal to you I swear--I swear I'll never ever act against you--"

The world was warm again as reality snapped back into place, and he turned downward to see a very bloody but alive mouse in his hands. He could not blink again and the creature was gone, leaving him standing there in shock as blood seeped through his fingers and dripped downward onto his boots. He stood there as the sun began to descend, not moving for over 40 minutes as the shock finally settled in his system.
