T: this is a bit past-due, isnt it? didnt you murder Ara, like, weeks ago?
R: ive been busy.
T: so ive heard. how’re you liking the power your new master has given you?
R: dont talk about shit you know nothing about.
T: ah sorry, sorry, i thought my sources were pretty reliable, so when they told me you’d been taking orders from an Eagle, i figured that wasnt something they could just make up -
R: it’s not takin orders, it’s contract work.
T: so when money’s involved it’s legit, huh?
R: when money’s involved its a transaction, not takin’ orders.
T: forgive me if i dont think the justification is there.
R: i dont come here for your opinions, Crow.
T: of course not, of course not, that would require a level of humility.
R: just get on with it.
T: you didnt answer my question.
R: (sneers) the power would be a lot sweeter if those damn Doves kept outta the way.
T: ive seen them around more. are the interfering in Murder politics now, too?
R: not directly. but the government’s definitely keeping them on a looser leash nowadays. it wont be long before they come for us for whatever ritualistic shit it is they do.
T: you believe the rumours?
R: rumours? i believe my own eyes. aint seen many Corvids over 50 years old for a good while now, and they’ve always been sparse.
T: you’re not the first to notice. (thinks of convo with scra) where do you think theyre going?
R: my best guess? theyre all fish food. and we aint far behind. speaking of - I’d get your Flamingo friend to move her little operation elsewhere. seen a gross amount of Doves around that bar.
T: …are you gonna get in the way?
R: unless someone pays me to, it aint my business.
T: i must say, this new design is a bit…unusual
R: if you take the time to kill a Boss people should know it.
T: so does this make you boss of the RowanBray Tiding now?
R: boss of a Tiding? no no no, im aiming a bit bigger than that.
Del exhausted sitting in living room reading. Looks up at lars smiling down at him. Rhaast looking out window.
D: Rhaast?
R: he’s not there, kid.
D: ok.
looks down and keeps reading. vulture looks back at him from window, worried.
R: you wouldnt hallucinate if you’d just eat.
del looks at toast on table corner.
D: i…cant.
R: this is getting insane, im gonna have to take you to the med bay if -
D: i cant. what if he touched it?
R: He is nowhere near this building, the Government’s searched it like ten times. i made that for you, you’re safe, just eat.
D: (whispers) you dont understand. he was everywhere. i never saw into his room, but i read the reports. he was watching all of us, all the time. They import food here from the wetland factories, he coulve easily tampered with it -
R: you’re literally delusional from hunger. im calling your father -
D: Don’t. don’t. he can’t…see me like this. scared. pathetic.
R: hes your father, he’ll want to help -
D: no. i promise he doesnt want to see me like this. itll just make him angry.
R: you have to -
D: stop. i just need to…rest. ill be hungry tomorrow. im sure. hey Rhaast?
R: yeah?
D: is he here?
R:...no, Del. he’s not here.

Look, Del has moments where he's sympathetic. He does. But at the end of the day, he keeps making all the wrong decisions and my well of empathy is...kind of running dry. I do really like Raast, though. I hope he ends up ok after everything goes down.

Geez. Del's acting like a scared little kid asking about the monster under the bed. ERMAHGERD, please have Del ask Rhaast to check for Lars under his bed!!! Also, NOT HON!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!! Damnable Doves, you stay away from our fabulous Flamingo!! (Edit: oh, alliteration. That wasn't intentional)
