“-Which is why we see such a sharp dip in the supply chain. Are there any other questions before we go?” The professor seemed to have received his answer as multiple students had either packed up or were in the process of doing so. With a short exhale he deployed his left wing, and used it to close the laptop on his desk. “Very well, I’ll see you on Friday and don’t forget to complete the readings I’ve posted.”

The classroom hosted two types of students which could be easily distinguished, wings and those without. Cael, was among those who hadn’t yet gone through the life changing transformation, and rite of passage for the Avis whose pride centered on their mastery of the sky. As such, when he’d fully packed up his messenger bag and stood up, the wingless Avis received a shoulder check which placed him right back down on his chair.

He looked up to the offender, who wore a smirk and sported black wings with a single red stripe across them. Though before any amount of envy could pool in his eyes, the Avis in front of him fell forward. His image disappeared with an annoyed groan, replaced by a tall white haired Avis whose visage carried a familiar warmth and air of mischief. That much was clear by the extended foot that quickly returned to a resting position as the winged Avis got back up. Retaliation was considered, though that option was quickly put aside seeing the height difference. As he scuttled away, Zack walked over and offered a hand.

“I can stand up, you know.” Cael said with an amused exhale, still taking the hand nonetheless.

“Try standing up for yourself.” Zack replied while glancing over his back to check if the black and red Avis was still there.

He shook his head, leading the way outside of the classroom and into the bustling hall. “It wasn’t a big deal.” Cael said in a partial truth, a type that Zack was a little too good at picking up. The taller Avis shot him a raised brow, silently showing his skepticism. Despite this, he let it go.

“Oh, did you get the results on the bio test yet?” Cael asked as they wove through the crowd of winged and wingless students, eventually pushing through out of the hall and into the front of the college.

“A hundred.” Zack stated in a blatant lie while keeping a neutral composure, which held strong as Cael looked at him with narrowed eyes. He kept the stare longer before continuing forward to cross the street.

“A hundred?” He repeated with a heavy drop of doubt in his tone. As they walked up the street, they passed a construction site with numerous posters stapled to the wall. Though instead of advertising an upcoming movie or product, they were of the propaganda variety. Some were enlistment posters, a call to join the different divisions of the military. However, it was clear that there was a favorite, those being the Jaeger and Patriam divisions. Jaeger posters showed bold soldiers standing on a massive winged corpse while the Patriam displayed a giant Avis shielding a city with a pair of mechanical wings.

“One zero zero.” A smirk appeared on Zack’s face as they passed another set of posters. Instead of promoting enlistment, these displayed Venators in various stances, usually in the process of eating or tearing an Avis apart.

Venators and Avis belong to the same species, Avian. Avis were the smaller, weaker counterpart, while Venators grew, quite literally, into something completely different. Their heights rivaled those of office buildings. Their hands sported sharp claws, and their eyes held an eerie glow. Born with them was a natural hatred towards their smaller brethren, according to all government approved studies. Monsters, mutants, deviations, abominations were one of the many names assigned to them. Given that any Avis at the critical stage of developing their wings could turn into a Venator, the posters listed the tell tale signs and behaviors of Avis who could possibly deviate.

“Something tells me that isn’t the case.” Cael said with narrowed eyes as they passed the construction site.

Zack simply shrugged which earned an exasperated sigh and shoulder bump. He barely felt the force of the action but swayed to the side out of pity and amusement. “I’m hurt that you don’t think I passed that test with flying colors.” He said while passing by a bar that was popular with the armed forces of the city, frequented by soldiers either on a long day or on leave. Two of them exited the bar, each sporting a standard issue pair of mechanical wings.

The Avis, in comparison to Venators, were too small, too weak, and too slow to take in a fight, even with the advantage of numbers. Because of this, those who joined the armed forces made what was considered an ultimate sacrifice to stand a chance. Their wings, something that many took pride in, and was a key part to their identity, were surgically removed and replaced by a mechanical set of wings. Not only were they far more durable, but a set of twin jets were attached to the back to allow extended range and maneuverability.

The two gave the soldiers a quick glance before returning to their conversation. “I’m being serious Zack, you can’t fail that class. If you drop that one, you’ll have to take another semester to make up.”

“I’ll be fine, don’t you worry about me.” Zack replied with a small smile, lightly bumping Cael’s shoulder. 

He returned his gaze to the sidewalk in front of them. The conversation grew quiet. It was an unremarkable day just like any other, the two woke up, headed to their respective classes, and now we're heading home. Neither tried to fill the silence, there wasn’t a need. Just them, and an occasional glance at each other followed by a slight tint to direct their gaze elsewhere. Though Zack was better at hiding it.

The back and forth exchange of glances was usually enough to last the entire walk home, not that it was very far. Just a few city blocks to reach the student centered apartment buildings. Cael lived in the group closer to campus, so his day always ended with him waving off Zack who’s housing complex was a bit further down. Instead of continuing down the street, he took a left towards one of the buildings. “I’ll see ya tomorrow Zack.”

He waved, and Zack turned around, firing finger guns and aiming a smirk. ‘Dork’, Cael thought with a reserved snicker. Facing the apartment building, he headed inside to prepare for the next day.

happy valentines day everyone! did a little doodle of my boys cause i havent drawn them in a while :)

[smoll-stace]

A little comic about the habits of the borrower, haha, (maybe even at the level of instincts.)

I've been thinking about this situation for a long time, sometimes borrowers are so used to their lives that even if they get close to people, sometimes they can do things like before they met.For example, to hide from them, as in this situation

Hey, I like these two, I think I'll draw something else with them!

[smoll-stace]

when a giant takes you in because you made one (1) mistake and got injured and this is terrifying and against everything you know but they’re dressing you in little doll clothes and giving you decadent foods so you can’t decide if escape is really worth it
