Crutch gave a soft, crooked grin. âAye, ma'am, I do. I remember ye well.â He bent slowly to touch his forehead to hers. âBeen too long, Ivakir.â
Oh, how she was afraid to hear ânoâ. Even a playful ânoâ would make her burst into tears. It would, like a bullet, pierce her chest and tear her heart. And even a confused look, that would be much worse than ânoâ. Ivakir knew that she was not the best person - she often left, it was hard to rely on her. But even she, such a hopeless person, had a hope that she would not be forgotten.
His forehead touched her, and the traveler exhaled the air from the lungs, which she kept without knowing it, along with the sound that resembled a whining. Her throat tightened painfully. Iv closed her eyes, letting her hands slowly rise and touch Crutchâs face. Singing, dancing, sweet words - all this was carefully stored in her heart.
- I missed you so much, Crutch, - her shaking hands traveled over his face, slightly cupping his cheeks and pressing his forehead against her. She was ready to forgive even âma'amâ in such moment. - It has been so long without you.
Crutchâs single orange eye roved over her familiar face before closing. He took a deep, slow breath, inhaling her scent. It smelled like warmth and it smelled like kindness and it smelled like soft touches and old songs and dancing and trust and safety. âAye, âs'been too long.â One of his slender, callused hands rose to her face, his touches light as a feather. He ran a thumb across her cheekbone almost as if to make sure she was real. âMissed ya too, Iv.â
Iv pressed his hand to her cheek and closed her eyes, enjoying this closeness. Although, his hand was rough, not as tender as hers, she still enjoyed it. It has been too long, she couldnât get rid of this thought. She could no longer restrain emotions. A tear rolled down her cheek, and Ivakir rubbed her cheek against Crutchâs palm. She was alone for too long, too long in her heart was a depressing sense of anguish.
Ivakir wrapped her arms around his torso and buried her nose in his chest, inhaling the familiar smell of dust. She acted so selfish, but the traveler couldnât help it.
- Where have you been? - Ivakir raised her head. Two wet tracks trailed along her cheeks, blue eyes stared straight into Crutchâs eye, almost demanding an answer to her question.
"Th'team was sent ta Lighthouse. Runnin' trade." Crutch smiled softly, his eye meeting her gaze. With gentle hands he wiped the tears from her face. His heart gave a painful twinge, reminding him of long nights spent atop his car, looking to the sky and hoping Ivakir was looking at the same stars thinking of him. He hoped that she hadn't forgotten him. Knowing now that she remembered him and that she had missed him created a tidal wave of emotion that nearly brought Crutch to his knees. "'M sorry t' stay away from ya for so long," he murmured, wrapping his arms around her in return. "Didn't mean ta leave ya like that."

Marlan stared at the foreigner with no small amount of curiosity. She was more colorful than any of the other birds heâd seen, with vibrant yellows and greens and blues and oranges running along her wings. He spoke slowly in his native language. âI will not⌠hurt you⌠if you let me down,â Marlan growled. He hadnât understood whatever language the girl spoke in first, but using his own was worth a try. âI will-â his face portrayed none of the racing thought happening in his head. â-take you to my chief. He will like to see you.â His directive was to carry at least one bird back with him when he and Ize returned to the Anendasi village, and all the better if the bird went with him willingly.
Ize heard Marlanâs stream of curses halt abruptly and dropped into a crouch, bolas at the ready. She was in the clearing where the little tropical bird had been, but the bird was no longer there. Marlanâs voice drifted down through the needles, distant but still intelligible. ââŚtake you to my chief,â Ize heard. âHe will be pleasedâŚâ She decided sheâd heard enough. She called up to him. âMarlan! Are you stuck or are you simply playing a game with me? Do not make me come up there, for I will be very not friendly,â she said, hoping that if Marlan was talking to the little bird that she would flee.
âAh so thatâs the language you speak. I didnât understand all of it, um. â Azalie said more to herself than to the man she was trying to help. âI am⌠uh needed in, crap whatâs the word⌠in a place not here.â She began to speak slowly in the otherâs native tongue. She only vaguely remembered some words, and since she didnât understand him, she figured he didnât come from one of the clans she was sent to visit. âI cannot be, um, anywhere for long, I have a⌠duty.âÂ
Azalie prayed that the words were comprehensible. Her grasp on the language was weak at best, she knew that if the man didnât understand, there wouldnât be much of a chance to explain much else. Muttering in her own language, Azalie didnât see the other person come up until they spoke.
âUh, hello.â Azalie greeted, calling down to where she had heard the voice come from. âHe is stuck⌠needs help out. I cannot stay long, um⌠please? Is that right, damn I canât remember.â she hissed the last to herself.Â
âYou speak AnendasiâŚ?â Marlanâs voice betrayed his surprise. He took painstaking effort to speak slowly, watching the foreigner as she tried to understand. âI was not aware that our language had spread to the South.â There was a kerfuffle as Ize leapt into the bottom branches and began climbing up to where Marlan and the foreigner were. She called up again, her speech punctuated with pauses as she hauled herself upwards.
âI will⌠pull him down⌠you are⌠free to leave.â
Marlan snarled in response, baring sharpened teeth at Ize as her head appeared in his field of vision. âThere are orders we must obey, Lushaka.â Marlan spoke directly to Ize. His voice was low and dangerous.
Ize bristled at the use of the title. It meant Slaver. It was a ânobleâ title within her clan. She hated it with every fiber of her being. âThere are orders that you choose to obey, Lorin Marlan.â She too used his title against him: his meant those who work under a slaver. Underlings. âJust like I choose freedom for the little one.â She kept her gaze firmly on Marlan as she spoke to the foreigner. âYou must leave now small one, there is danger in staying here.â
Azalie looked between the two strangers. The hostility was rising and the fact that it was hard to understand what the two were arguing about made her panic rise all the more. The most she had gotten out of the conversations were their titles being used as slurs to the other, and the fact that they were slavers.
âYou are Lushaka, yes?â She tentatively asked, not wanting to offend anyone. âI thank you for⌠letting me go⌠but it is, um, useless.â Azalie tried to explain.Â
The temperature had suddenly dropped. Too quickly for the exotic avian to handle. She could feel her body becoming lethargic and slowly freezing. Azalieâs kind could usually handle cooler temperatures, but they had to be slowly exposed to them over time so that their body temp could regulate with it. If they couldnât do that, they would die.Â
âIf I do not find shelter, I will die.â Azalie said. âI couldnât leave⌠even if I wanted to.â She muttered the last part in her own language. Dread and futility filled her being. She had resigned herself to dying either way.Â
Ize looked to the sky, where the sun had passed behind a mountain on its journey to the western horizon. Her attention snapped back to the foreigner when Marlan started laughing. "See, Lushaka? There is no need to release her. To take her into custody would be a favor to her. It would save her life."
"I've seen what men do to pretty foreign ones. It is no favor to take her back with you." Ize reached into one of the small pouches sewn into her belt and pulled out a little red thorn half the length of her finger. Marlan began struggling again at the sight of it.
"Ize, we have been partners for years. We work well together. You would not want the tree creatures to get me?" Marlan's voice took on a wheedling tone. "I am your Lorin, Lushaka Ize."
Ize smiled mirthlessly. "You were my underling, Marlan. I could not care less if the creatures of the night should devour you." With that, she jabbed the thorn into Marlan's exposed shoulder and watched until the sleeping drug took effect and his body relaxed. He slipped from the tangle he'd worked himself into and fell from the tree, bouncing off several branches before hitting the ground with a dull thud, wings awkwardly folded beneath him. Ize cast the used thorn after him before turning to the little foreigner, who seemed to have shrank further. She fluffed her feathers against the impending cold. "Little one, we must away. It is not safe here."
Sylvia couldnât help rolling her eyes at him. It was obvious how he was going to pass out any second but he still had the same damn stubbornness that all warboys shared. She wiped the blood off of his face once more before sighing softly.â If you lean on me can you walk?â
Crutch âharrumphedâ in reply. He was quickly realizing her strength of will was probably stronger than his. As one last attempt to retain his pride, he grit his teeth and hauled himself to his feet. He stood for a moment in painful triumph before his body caught up to him. Stars danced in front of his eyes before they rolled back in his head and he went limp.
Sylvia quickly tried to catch him, keep him up and hold him close. She did catch him but his shoulders were at the height of her waist and she had to bend over to hold him but it was better than nothing she figured. Taking a deep breath in preparation, she started to drag his body through the caves of the capital, eventually arriving at the organic mechanic. She told him what had happened and made him stitch up crutch and check him over for any other injuries.
âBroken collarbone,â grunted the Organic, wiping a dirty hand across his greasy forehead. âLots aâ bruises, heâll be feelinâ this for a while.â He looked up at the girl who dragged the lanky polecat in and met her stare. âYou his friend?â
Sylvia couldnât help the glare she sent to the mechanic when it seemed like he didnât know who she was. She wasnât proud of who she was but she liked the level of respect that came with it.â No, Iâm not his friend I just donât like seeing people get hurt.â She muttered and stared down at the injured warboy.â Iâm Ricktusâ breeder.â
The Organic gave a dirty grin. âBest be gettinâ back to him, heâll be missinâ ye.â His small, deep-set eyes traveled from her face, down her body, and back to her face.
Crutch chose that precise moment to regain consciousness and sit bolt-upright, bringing his head to collide with the Organic Mechanic bent over him. He fell back onto the slab used as a table, clutching his forehead, and the Organic stumbled back in surprise. Crutch glanced around the room, taking note of both the girl who had been there before he passed out and the Organic, who had stepped back a ways and was eyeing him warily. He swayed dizzily, but shook it off and swung his legs over the side of the table. âThank ya fer bringinâ me âere but I must be on m'way. Got a driver t'see, got recoverinâ t'do.â
âRicktus has more muscles than brain cells but at least he bathes.â She spat as the other eyes her up and down in her gown. She never thought she would say something that was even sort of a compliment to Ricktus but she was disgusted enough by the other to say so.
Sylvia let out a small squeak of surprise as Crutch bolted up, stepping back then going back over to crutch, moving the warboys hand away to look at his forehead. As he started to get up she grabbed his arm, not tugging because of his collarbone, to keep him in place.â Rest.â The breeder warned but had a certain softness in her tone.â You need it.â
Crutch frowned, looking at the place where Sylvia's hand was on his arm. "'ll rest, won't be any use t'my team like this. Do 'ave a question, though - why do ya keep touchin' me?"

Winter was approaching quickly, Azalie knew that much. Her clan wasnât made for the cold, instead built for the humid heat of rainforests. Diplomatic negotiations with neighboring clans were what her to get lost in this quickly freezing wilderness.
It didnât help much that her wings were made to disguise her in her native habitat, but the muted dead colors of the surrounding pines only made her colors stand out even more. If any predators came now, Azalie would be quickly apprehended. It certainly wasnât a welcoming thought.
Azalie knew that soon enough it would become too cold for her to even move. The panic rising in her became overwhelming, and she leaned against a nearby tree, pausing to close her eyes and take a breath.
Ize soared over the dense forest surrounding her home, her War-Chiefâs prerogative echoing in her mind: Travel Southward, search every inch of forest until she and Marlan found at least one bird to bring back to him. Ize made it her business not to know what happened to the poor souls, but rumour had it that they were shipped to more barbaric clans in the far North for less than kind reasons. Namely, she heard they were hunted and killed for sport, worked to death as slaves, or used for breeding. She shuddered at the thought and focused back on the task at hand. She had been given a directive, and she would fulfill it to the best of her ability.
It was then that she heard Marlan cry out. As her head whipped around to the side, she saw his wings tuck and he hurtled into a nosedive. Ize wheeled to follow, flapping hard to match his speed. The forest loomed ahead at an alarming rate. Ize heard him call something out and point ahead of them. When she followed the line of his finger, she saw a vibrant spot of color among the dull green of the forest. Ize pulled out of her dive, coasting silently over the canopy, but behind her she heard Marlan crunch through a few trees. Strong he may be, but agile he certainly was not. Ize fought the urge to laugh as she heard him swearing. Apparently heâd gotten himself tangled in something. Heâd be out soon enough, but surely the colorful one had heard his cry and his expletives. Ize dropped through the canopy quietly, disturbing few pines, and landed with the first flurry of snowflakes. She looked to the cold, grey sky and frowned. The snow had come earlier than expected. Pulling a fur hood around her head, Ize drew a bolas from her belt and advanced on the place where she saw the foreign bird.
The silence of a pine forest was peaceful, a beauty that one anyone could appreciate. That said, when one hears a loud cry and the sound of wind whistling past a rapidly descending body, panic is sure to be ensue in anyone.
A body crashed into the tree Azalie had been leaning against, startling her quickly from her thoughts. Her panicked eyes searched frantically around for the source of the crash, landing on a large figure tangled in the branches above her. She briefly wondered if this one was from one of the tribes that she was meant to meet with before snapping into a protective mode.
âStruggling is only going to make it worse.â She called out, gracefully unfurling her wings. âWait a moment, Iâll come up and help.âÂ
A few strong pumps and Azalie lifted from the cold ground and perched herself on a nearby branch. Assessing the damage, she could tell that this one wasnât going to get free on his own.Â
âHonestly, Iâm not sure if I should feel pity or just call you an idiot.â She scolded, âIâm not even native here and I know this forest is much too dense to be flying around like that. What were you even doing?
The man only stared at her.
âCan you even understand me?â She tentatively asked, eyes searching the other for any sign of recognition. A gust of cold wind distracted her from her focus and reminded the tropical of the danger she was in. âShit, this couldnât have happened at a better time, honestly. Letâs get you down.â Â
Marlan stared at the foreigner with no small amount of curiosity. She was more colorful than any of the other birds he'd seen, with vibrant yellows and greens and blues and oranges running along her wings. He spoke slowly in his native language. "I will not... hurt you... if you let me down," Marlan growled. He hadn't understood whatever language the girl spoke in first, but using his own was worth a try. "I will-" his face portrayed none of the racing thought happening in his head. "-take you to my chief. He will like to see you." His directive was to carry at least one bird back with him when he and Ize returned to the Anendasi village, and all the better if the bird went with him willingly.
Ize heard Marlan's stream of curses halt abruptly and dropped into a crouch, bolas at the ready. She was in the clearing where the little tropical bird had been, but the bird was no longer there. Marlan's voice drifted down through the needles, distant but still intelligible. "...take you to my chief," Ize heard. "He will be pleased..." She decided she'd heard enough. She called up to him. "Marlan! Are you stuck or are you simply playing a game with me? Do not make me come up there, for I will be very not friendly," she said, hoping that if Marlan was talking to the little bird that she would flee.
