Ok. Ok. Hear me out: birds. With pants on

Just One Bird

[grungegull]

“Oh, thanks for tellin’ me,” Corin says, already sounding sleepy. “Better’n trying to steal something to eat again…” Yeah, she’s falling asleep fast. Hope these two don’t expect more answers from her.

[battered---mettle]

“Man, I’ve been on the streets before. I know how it–ow.”

Adrian smirked, hefting the newspaper he’d just swatted Khalil with. “She’s about to fall asleep. No mo’ convo, bro.”

[grungegull]

There's a tired laugh from Corin, and she mumbles something incoherent before completely falling asleep.

[battered---mettle]

“Okay, okay,” Adrian chuckled, then pointed at her. “We get free continental breakfast, by the way. So even if you don’t talk to us in the morning, go get breakfast.”

“Shaddap and get ta bed.” Khalil pushed Adrian into the bed before flopping down himself. “Let ‘er sleep, a’ight?”

[grungegull]

“Oh, thanks for tellin’ me,” Corin says, already sounding sleepy. “Better’n trying to steal something to eat again...” Yeah, she’s falling asleep fast. Hope these two don’t expect more answers from her.

[battered---mettle]

“No–whaaat?” Adrian said, shaking his head. “No, best friends were a lot different in the times of Middle Earth as opposed to, like, nowish. People were a lot nicer to their friends. That doesn’t mean Sam was gay.”

“Dude, he was totally gay. This comin’ from a guy who is gay. You’re Frodo, just don’t realize how gay you are.”

“I’m pan with a guy preference, dude, I realize just how gay I–”

“Okay, shut yer trap and get to bed, Gaylord,” Khalil interrupted with a snicker.

[grungegull]

Corin’s just cackling over here, don’t mind her.

“Go the hell to bed, you dumbasses,” she orders, clearly playing. “We can argue about how gay everyone is later.”

[battered---mettle]

“Well, I’m inta guys, and Adrian’s too much of a gentleman ta stare,” Khalil shrugged. “So you’d be fine if ya did.”

“We get that a lot. We’re more like Samwise and Frodo,” Adrian said, laying back.

“Dude, Sam and Frodo were totally gay.”

“What? Were not. They were just best friends.”

“Gay.”

“Not!”

[grungegull]

“Hmm... meh. Don’t wanna make Adrian uncomfortable,” she says with a yawn. “I’m used to sleeping in my clothes anyway.”

Corin watches them bicker more for a minutes, grinning, then shakes her head with a laugh. “Sam didn’t realize he had a crush on Frodo and Frodo is just weird,” she states.

[grungegull]

She snorts. “Sleep in whatever you want, s'not like it matters,” Corin says, pulling off her leather jacket and rolling it up to use as a pillow.

“Do you mind if I shower before I head out tomorrow?”

[battered---mettle]

Adrian raised a brow. “You seriously wouldn’t mind seeing a drifter’s underpants?”

“I thought you were wearin’ clean ones,” Khalil said sternly.

“Well, I am, but I mean, we’re basically a step up from ‘hobos’. Trying to show a little decency here. And no, we don’t mind. If we’re up, though, just make sure to ask if we need to pee first. Khalil doesn’t ask first.”

“Yeah, I do, you just never hear me.”

[grungegull]

"Why would I care? Only reason I didn't strip down to my own undies is 'cause I dunno how you guys feel about that," she answered, laying on her side and sticking the jacket under her head.

"You two are like an old bitchy couple," she adds with a giggle.

[grungegull]

She raises an eyebrow at Adrian, but stands to give him the down. “Iunno why you want it, but have fun with your brand new seagull fluff. Yeah, I was about t’say that,” she says to Khalil.

[battered---mettle]

“I don’t know. I kind of just wanted to pet it,” Adrian said, taking it from her and running his finger over it. “Ooh, soooft.”

“If you don’t stop bein’ a nerd, my eyes’re gonna roll themselves outta my head,” Khalil complained. “Go get yer PJ’s on, ya weirdo.”

“You know I sleep in my boxe–” Adrian glanced over at Corin. “Oh. Right. There’s a lady present. I’m, uh, gonna go get my emergency pajama pants.”

[grungegull]

She snorts. "Sleep in whatever you want, s'not like it matters," Corin says, pulling off her leather jacket and rolling it up to use as a pillow.

"Do you mind if I shower before I head out tomorrow?"

[battered---mettle]

“Hey, same with Khalil here. ‘Swhy I developed that method in the first place. Plus, it’s fun to BS with him.”

“And it’s fun to smack his hand when he points at somethin’,” Khalil added.

Adrian turned off the TV and held out his hand. “If I can’t touch the wings, can I have that fluff?” he asked, grinning. Khalil rolled his eyes.

“Pretty sure we should start thinkin’ about sleepin’,” he said.

[grungegull]

She raises an eyebrow at Adrian, but stands to give him the down. “Iunno why you want it, but have fun with your brand new seagull fluff. Yeah, I was about t’say that,” she says to Khalil.

[grungegull]

Corin snickers at Khalil’s response to the comment about his eyebrows, then it devolves into a laughing fit as they discuss what all would happen if they tried chopping off her wings, and the mess it would cause.

“Man, you guys are a fuckin’ riot,” she gasps, her wings fading into view behind her. “A’ight, I trust you two enough to show’m. But no touching.”

[battered---mettle]

Adrian smirked. “We try. It tends to chill people out a little easier than just going, ‘Dude, chill out.’ –Wait, no touching? But what if there’s a little fluffy bit sticking out–like, right there.”

“Adrian, stop pointin’, it’s rude,” Khalil huffed, smacking his hand.

[grungegull]

"I appreciate it. People tellin' me to chill generally makes me angrier." She glances at the wing Adiran pointed at, pulling out a piece of loose down that was stuck in other feathers. "Then tell me and I'll take care of it. No touching. S'fine, man, I do make a vague attempt to keep myself neat."

[battered---mettle]

“It’s a talent a’ theirs,” he said, wiggling his brows like walking caterpillars. “Anyway, we ain’t that harsh. And the blood would get everywhere, our names is on the hotel registry whatever thing, we’d be fingered–”

“We could hightail it outta here before they even find the blood,” Adrian said, then added an, “Ow.” as Khalil smacked him upside the head.

“Ya flatfoot, and how would we get outta state, huh?” he said. “We ain’t got enough to pay for the bill yet, let alone the bus ticket. Geez.”

[grungegull]

Corin snickers at Khalil’s response to the comment about his eyebrows, then it devolves into a laughing fit as they discuss what all would happen if they tried chopping off her wings, and the mess it would cause.

“Man, you guys are a fuckin’ riot,” she gasps, her wings fading into view behind her. “A’ight, I trust you two enough to show’m. But no touching.”
