A bitter wind carries the tang of oil and corroded metal. A silhouette cuts through the gloom, descending with a soft, metallic rustle as bladed wings fold tight.

He tilts his head, a shy, nervous smile touching his features. "Hiya." The word hangs between you, an offering in the quiet, waiting for your reply.
