"You know what." Techno crossed his arms, letting his eyes narrow. "I think I'll pass. I'm gonna be busy for the next few years, farming's taking up a lot of my free time… you know how it is."
But Quackity's smile just widened.
"Oh, are you sure?" he asked, falsely pleasant and concerned, and something about the way he said that made Techno's instincts start buzzing at the base of his skull. "After all, there's someone back at L'Manberg just dying to see you."
Everything went silent.
"What are you getting at," Techno said flatly, fear starting to flicker in his chest because did Quackity mean-
The man just smirked at him before reaching into a pocket with his free hand. He reached out and uncurled his fingers.
Long, bloody black feathers drifted downwards to stain the pristine snow.
Flight feathers.
And there was only one person whose wings they could have been so callously ripped from.
The pounding in Techno's ears rushed into a roar.
As if in a dream, Techno knelt and scooped up the feathers, cradling their blood-stained lengths in his hands.
And then he noticed something else.
“These have been clipped,” he said quietly, his heartbeat thundering in his chest.
Quackity grinned at him, his eyes flashing cruelly.
“Yeah, we ran into a few snags along the way,” he said cheerfully. “Had to do some trimming at first to make sure your little birdie didn’t fly the coop.” Quackity swung his axe up onto his shoulder, teeth still bared in that sharp-tooth smirk. “Consider them a gift, Technoblade. After all, I went through a lot of trouble to come and give them to you.”
Techno’s fingers curled around the feathers, hands shaking with both fear and rage.
“I’ll come,” he said quietly.
