[Hyenadog]

Hitsugi nibbled his lip as Lucien asked about his anatomy, shaking his head. "I...I never told anyone about it...." he sighed, lowering his head. His parents had assumed it was just an anomaly, that the anatoy wouldn't work. Clearly it did work, just a bit later than usual.

He whined at the hug, squirming out of it. He didn't like having his wings pinned down against his body. But he did turn to face Lucien, still nibbling the metal in his lip. He listened to his offer, glancing at his wing as he spread it, then back to the man. Home was quite a distance away and difficult to get to on foot or by vehicle. Deep in the nearby mountains in a protected ravine.

"Ok." He said, fiddling with some torn fabric from his shirt. "Just until my feathers grow back." He sighed. He knew how to stimulate new feathers, a skill all avians knew since they frequently broke or damaged them.

His attention suddenly shifted, hearing a soft meow. The cat who initially caught his attention was interested in the broken egg. Hitsugi turned and knelt down, picking up the shell and offering some of the spilled egg. The cat was hesitant, but came overy and began lapping at it. He gently pet the cat, gaining it's trust. "Can I bring the cat?" He asked, looking back to Lucien.
