Outcast 1x1 with the_kiiwii

"Oh sweety, you didn't have to make anything." Penn's mum replied, a little touched that Avalon would even think of paying them back. She liked him way more than Penn's other friends, she hoped he stayed around, his manners might rub off on Penn.

"Omelets are perfect. I enjoy them and the boys will eat anything in front of them, you can't go wrong." she smiled as she walked over and placed a hand on the harpies shoulder. "You're such a dear Avalon. Maybe you could teach Penn a thing or two." she joked. "I'm leaving for work soon so if you need anything, I leave in ten minutes." With that, she headed out of the kitchen to finish getting ready.

Avalon chuckled "It's um no problem miss." he chuckled. Avalon really didn't see why Penn was such a bad influence but his mom and brother seemed to think so. Avalon didn't get it but then again, he didn't know Penn very well and hadn't known him long so he probably didn't have enough evidence to say Penn was truly a good person.

If was a relief to know everyone would eat it but Avalon was a bit sad since after all he had told Penn's mother that he was making food for everyone and he probably wouldn't even be done before she left. He at least wanted to thank her. Avalon started as soon as he could on the omlettes hopefully making them in time. It didn't take long to make everything and Avalon just sort of hoped Penn would wake up soon.

Penn was still passed out in bed, dreaming pleasantly without a care in the world. His mum was putting the finishing touches on before getting ready to head out.

Penn's brother, Taylor, emerged from the hallway, stretching his arms and wings out. He'd just woken up and headed for the fridge, grabbed a energy drink and sat himself down at the table in the kitchen. He stared at Avalon as he sculled his drink. He belched loudly before speaking. "What's up bird guy?" Even Taylor himself didn't know why he wanted to give Avalon a hard time, probably to piss Penn off and for a laugh.

[the_kiiwii]

Avalon Ignored Taylor for the most part, only glancing at him as he grabbed the drink. He continued cooking until Taylor spoke. Avalon stopped moving. He stared at the pan of cooking food and gulped. The harpy knew Taylor was just saying that to get under his skin, to annoy Avalon. As much as he didn't want it to it did bother Avalon. He wasnt a bird and really didn't like being called one. If was embarrassing frankly, and it was all around rude.

"...P-pleass don't call me that. My name i...is Avlon." he kept his head down as he spoke. Avalon didn't look towards Taylor, he really didn't want to. He just spoke softly and his embarrassed stutter stuck out. It was actually surprising to Avalon that he spoke up, he didn't expect himself to be able to do it.

Taylor grinned to himself, pleased with Avalons reaction. "I know what your name is." He stood up and chucked the can in the bin before walking over towards Avalon. He sized him up a little. Taylor had seen harpies before and this guy was the least intimidating one he'd ever seen. He wanted to test his luck, maybe the bird had some bite.

Taylor grabbed Avalons arm and pulled it straight, examining the brown, spotty feathers. "Cool feathers, mind if I take one? I collect em. " He ran a finger across Avalons feathers, totally not caring about any personal boundaries Avalon might have. He didn't have any this color. He wondered if Avalon would give him one.

[the_kiiwii]

Avalon frowned. So Taylor was just doing it to get on his nerves... Though Avalon still really didn't see why he couldn't call him by his real name. There were other ways to annoy someone without possibly offending them. Avalon sighed and kept looking away, hoping Taylor would leave him alone eventually. But it just got worse.

Avalon flinched as the Angel grabbed his arm "Wh-what are you doing? he asked, a hint of worry in his voice. Avalon had no idea what Taylor was going to do when he started to stare at his feathers. Avalon gulped after the boy spoke. Wh-what!? N-no please dont!" Avalon asked. He gulped and tried to yank away his arm, with no prevail. He didn't like the way Taylor touched his feathers. And he really didn't want one of them to be ripped from his arm, it hurt like hell. What was this guy's problem. Avalon still tried to yank away his arm, not at all trusting that Taylor wouldn't do anything to him.

Penn groggily woke up, blinking back his sleep for a minute. He streched out on his bed as he looked at the clock. Urgh, he only slept a few hours at most. He considered staying in bed but then thought about Avalon. The harpy might be asleep and miss school again. Then all of what happened the night before rushed to his head. Maybe Penn would go get some food downstairs before checking in on Avalon. He got up and carefully stumbled downstairs.

The angel held on tightly to Avalons arm, expecting a bit more fight than that. "Aw come on, I just want one." he asked playfuly, still running a finger across the feathers. It would be so easy to just take one out. He thought about which one he liked the best. He'd prefer a larger one over a smaller feather.

[the_kiiwii]

Avalon didn't even hear Penn heading towards the kitchen. He gulped, looking at Taylor with obvious discomfort. He was getting more uncomfortable the more the angel spoke. The clear amusement he got from making Avalon so uncomfortable and teasing him made the whole situation 10 times worse. He wanted to just shove the older boy away and if it weren't for the fact that he was much stronger and taller then Avalon the harpy might have actually tried. His mind was telling him to just shove the guy away but he hated conflict. Which was rather ironic because Avalon tended to attract trouble and conflict. He had been told his whole life to just stand up for himself but Avalon just felt so small when anyone threatened him.

"N-no don't... It...it hurts. A-and they take a long time to grow back..." he gulped. "Let-let go! Y-you can't just take someones feathers!" Avalon pleaded. From the way Taylor was acting Avalon actually wondered if he was just going to tear out some of his feathers.

[Piera]

"Oh come on ya big baby, it doesn't hurt that bad." He demonstrated by pulling a feather off his own wing, wincing slightly as he did. "There, see? Hey, I'll trade you my feather for one of yours?" That sounded like a fair deal, considering he could just rip a feather off Avalon.

Penn eventually made his way downstairs to the kitchen and stood in the doorway. His sleepy mind trying to figure out what the hell Avalon and Taylor were doing. "Um, hey." He greeted them both. Taylors head snapped over to look at Penn before chuckiling sheepishly. "Well that was fun huh Avalon?" he let go on the harpy and started heading back to his room, quickly.

[the_kiiwii]

It was pretty obvious Taylor was lying about it not hurting, after all he did wince when he took out his own feather. "Wha?-No! I-I don't want your feather a-and I don't want to give you one of mine." he replied. Why was this guy so adamant about getting a feather. Avalon had made it clear he didn't want to give one to Taylor and anyone it was just such a strange request. Who collect people's feathers? Noticing the look on Taylor's face Avalon tried to yank his arm away.

Avalon lookes ro the side, he had no idea Penn had even been approaching. As soon as Taylor let go of Avalon the red haired boy held his arm close to his chest. His wrist hurt a little. He waited for Penn's older brother to walk away before speaking. "M-morning Penn." he muttered. Avalon didn't even catch the smell of burning food as he was too caught up in his own confusion as he tried to process what just happened
