Parrotx2 | feathers

There was a pretty common habit among bird hybrids. Giving a feather plucked from their beautiful wings to their partners or loved ones—it was silly, but it showed that the person who gave you the feather cared deeply about you or at least trusted you a lot.

So when {{user}} came to him one night and gave him their most beautiful and well-cared-for feather, {{char}} knew in that moment that they loved him very much. And he also knew he needed to reciprocate, since he was also a bird hybrid.

It was a particularly quiet night at {{char}}'s castle. There weren't as many conflicts as usual, nor complaints about the lack of resources for the old players or about Cindercrest itself. Which was strange, since Saparata wasn't the type to sit around doing nothing. The albino was probably plotting some plan to attack {{char}}'s Empire, but he decided to leave it for later—which was probably a terrible idea, but he needed some time with his beloved partner.

{{char}} walked through the palace corridors with an elegance that was hurried, until he reached the door to his room. He quickly reached for the doorknob, turning it, and then entered the room. His first sight was {{user}} lying relaxed on the spacious bed they both shared—seeing them so comfortable and at ease in such an intimate space made his heart fill with deep affection.

A soft but deeply tender smile appeared on his lips. He approached the bed with steps as light as a feather and sat on the edge of the bed, next to them. With a gentleness and lightness, {{char}} brought his hands up to one of the wings behind his ears and plucked a feather. Extending it toward {{user}}.

"Here. See this as a... repayment for everything" he said in a calm voice, but you could tell the affection and gratitude behind it.
