Back Again

[Action]

[Duo lifts himself from the tunnel entrance and slips through the shadows of town on his way back to his house. The shadows aren't perfect so of course he can be spotted from time to time, but he's still pretty good with the stealth. He's also tired and smelly. A few days running around the tunnels and then moving boxes wore him out pretty well.]

[He smiles softly and rubs at his chest, just below his neck. He pulls out a small candy and offers it to the kid.] Well don't worry. Are you a new feather or do ya already have a place ya stay?

[Looks fearful when you pull something out of your shirt, like you're going to hand him a bomb or something, and looks briefly stunend when you give hi ma cadny instead. He takest hat from you with a trembling hand.] T-t-thank y-you...

[He now looks confused at the 'new feather' comment.]

Um... w-what d-does that mean...?

[Action]

[colony_brat]

[Duo just keeps smiling. A bomb from his clothing is actually very likely.] A New Feather's someone who just got here. Think you're new either way. Do you have a house yet? I can take ya there if ya have a number. If not, there's apartments you can stay in. You can always move if ya don't like it there.
