HAIIIII BLOB happy early birthday!!! for my ask i'm going to be extremely predictable and ask for superlantern or tomar-re/hal..... bonus points if it's a wip we've talked about hehe ;)
THIS ONE GOT LONG SO HERE:
The Heart Above All
The significance of helping a xudarian preen their feathers is unknown to Hal the first time he does it. As a rookie Green Lantern there are many things he's yet to learn, despite being under Sinestro's bone-tiring and soul-crushing tutelage. The interpersonal dynamics, the established groups, the cultural differences—besides learning how to use his ring in an extensive way, those are things that require a lot of time to understand. With his good-willed ignorance, Hal carefully plucks from a yellow-orange feather leftover gunk from Tomar-Re's latest mission. Perhaps it's a good thing they're in Tomar-Re's personal quarters when this happens. The Green Lantern Corps are precise and unyielding in every field, which includes gossip. Had any other Green been witness to Hal’s careless action, in less than an hour there would've been five different tales about how he's trying to sleep his way into being declared a full fledged Lantern. But he's in Tomar-Re's room. It’s not suspicious because everyone knows the xudarian is the gentlest and most understanding seasoned Green Lantern, and all the rookies tend to flock towards him precisely because of that.
