Summary
At first, he thinks the bird is simply ignoring the question, staring at him with a glazed over expression. It takes a deep, heaving breath and then tilts its head to one side. “You look like you’re about to eat me.”
“Would you be opposed?” Scar purrs, even as Grian shakes his head with a half-laugh, a blow of air through a cracked beak.
Grian grins, cruel and wicked, and suddenly the temple air is pointed and dangerous, as if waiting for a command. Behind his beak are relatively human-looking teeth, like the feathers are merely a dusty old costume pulled over human skin. His teeth are still vaguely sharp and if Scar messes up now, they will certainly find themselves lodged in the side of his neck, or worse: sinking into the recess of his mana reserves.
The threat is enticing. Scar’s blood roars in his ears.
Or: Scar is a magic-eating troublemaker Vex unable to keep his chompers to himself. He bites off more than he can chew when a tether of ancient magic pulls him into a community of vengeful curse-bearers and their comatose leader.
