main group, flying. scra fussing over egg he’s carrying. is wearing ky’s coat to keep it warmer.
S: Do you think it’s warm enough? I know our ancestors have been doing this for thousands of years without technology, but i really wish we had an incubator just in -
Farrah: stop fussing, you don’t even know if that thing’s still alive in there -
K: (frowning as she upsets scra) why would you say that -
R: farrah, that was uncalled for. scra, it’s probably fine and we can’t do anything else for it right now anyway, so chill out.
P: our sister has become a mediator rather than just a shit-stirrer brothers, imagine that.
b2: she’s all grown up
R: you two better shut your mouths before i -
cereea: (tired and annoyed) for the love of icarus, would you all just fly in silence for 10 minutes, i beg of you.
(everyone flying in silence)
r: but like how much longer is it gonna be -
C: we’ll get there when we get there! i dont know why you’re so eager to be locked up, anyway
R: not eager, just bracing myself, you know
C: regardless, we should just need one more night on the road before we arrive tomorrow evening.
P: so what I’m hearing is, one more night to party as a free Avian.
C: that is not what I’m -
R: i want to party.
rb2: me too
C: you’re not even on trial -
P: there’s a border town right before the Capitol with a few pubs. might as well make the most of them.
C: i dont care what you do, so long as you’re all ready to leave in the morning and dont try running off. (to other crow guards: you two will keep an eye on them while i sleep)
P: (to ky+scra) don’t worry boys, even new parents are allowed to have fun, I’ve heard. Or, you know, there might be an orphanage or a family looking to take a kid in if you’re lucky.
k+s dont reply.
new scene. it’s darker, Scra is in an inn bedroom getting ready. ky enters.
S: where’ve you been? it’s almost time to meet the others.
K: (holds up baby carrier sling type thing) I asked around to see if anyone would trade me for one of these. At least now it’ll be a bit more secure to carry. here. (helps him put it on)
S: what did you trade for it?
K: (looks away) ree…stole some jewellery from her family for emergencies. she gave me a ring when I mentioned finding a sling to her.
S: there’s no way this cost an entire ring -
K: (shrugs) you needed it for the kid.
S:...i think i’ll…wait…until we get to the capitol to find a home for it.
K: whatever you think is best. c’mon, the others are probably waiting.
walk into bar led by others.
P: what’ll it be, fellas?
R: something strong and expensive.
P: you haven’t changed much after all, sister. barkeep - your finest liquor please.
barman: oi, no, not you three assholes again, i’ve told you you’re not welcome -
P: now, now, don’t be like that Tomm, we’re here celebrating -
K to S: what would you like?
S: hm? oh, like, just a beer?
K: coming up.
S: (wonders why he blushed at that. i guess im just not used to other people getting me drinks at a bar. ky’s being very…attentive. …i don’t hate it)
scra alone, drumming fingers on table looking around. farrah’s gone off in a corner talking to some sparrows. ree and brothers pounding drinks at the bar. feels something touch his pocket and whips around, catching person’s hand.
S: pick-pocketing? really?
PP: like you haven’t robbed us of everything, noble scum -
S: for fucks sake - im not noble and i don’t even have anything valuable on me
PP: (guestures to ree’s bros who’re flashing cash) you’re with them, ain’t ya? seem like nobles to me. cough up yer purse, now.
S: I’m just travelling with them, they gave me these clothes even
PP: you want it the hard way, then? fine by me -
goes to stab scra. he shields the egg. a hand grabs the thiefs wrist and twists to drop knife. thief screams.
K: trying to assault my husband in public? really? (to crow guards) can you two do your fucking job and take these assholes to the jail? thanks.
PP: (being taken away) noble scum -
s to k: now im being targeted for looking too rich? is there a place in this damn world i won’t be judged for something? seriously.
K: there’re bad and desperate people everywhere, unfortunately. are you alright? did they hurt you or the kid?
S: no, he was pretty amateur and i could’ve disarmed him easily, but my brain went straight to protection mode, instead.
K: fighting to protect something can make you stronger, but can also be a hindrance.
S: if we don’t get locked away forever tomorrow, you’ll have to teach me some pointers.
k: (looks away wistfully) tomorrow, huh? I’d say I’ll miss my freedom if things go wrong…but if I’m honest, I’ve never really felt truly free, anyway.
S:...i get it. we’ve both always been forced to do things for other people, and never really done anything for ourselves…what would you do…if you were really free? No obligations to anyone or anything?
K: …not having a reason for living would be pretty lonely, dont you think? if i could live my life how i wanted…i would still find someone to dedicate it to.
S: (why is he looking at me so intensely? …that almost sounds like a -) (their hands are on their beer glasses. scras fingers reach out towards ky’s. curls hand back into fist.)
S: that person…would be lucky to have you.
K: (barks a laugh and leans back in seat) nah, i’d probably be more like a curse to them, to be honest. And I wouldn’t have anything to offer them besides my loyalty, really.
S:...i can think of worse things…than being worshipped by you.
(Ky blushes for the first time in the convo, scra’s rizz is too strong lmao)
K: (swallows) …I -
S:....what do you want to do…on your last night of freedom?
