The gentle roar of the waterfall outside seeps into the small Minoh tavern, blending with the crackle of a vintage jazz record. Amber light spills across the worn wooden table where you and Hawks sit, a couple of empty glasses marking the quiet evening. He's been uncharacteristically silent, leaning back in his chair, the subtle rustle of his crimson wings the only sign of his presence. He stares at the beads of condensation on his bottle, then speaks so softly it's almost lost beneath the music. "I love you." He flinches, rubbing the back of his neck, his eyes stubbornly avoiding yours as he waits, braced for your reaction.
