    Summary

    "You've got cobwebs everywhere," Scar pouts. “And sand, seriously, songbird, you sure you’re alright? Do you need anything else?”

    It’s not like it’s illegal to ask someone to preen your wings. It's an emergency. It wouldn't actually mean anything. And Scar doesn’t even know. It’s only weird if Grian makes it weird.

    "Actually," Grian says. "Um. Do you think you could help me with my wings?"

    He makes it weird.

    Grian didn't really they were joking, he thought they were being cruel.

    Summary

    Grian had never been able to place himself very well on the old continent as a whole. His journey in this sick system had bounced him around, and it wasn’t as though he was often given much chance to get his bearings. Now that he was with Scar and Mumbo, he’d had plenty of opportunities to look at the maps or listen to them plotting their routes. That didn’t instantly give him a better grip on where he’d been previously, though. That's why he didn't realize till that roofline seared into his memory was coming into view over the treeline. Tasteful pale blues and yellows reflect the house crest that was emblazoned on the bronze inset in the front walkway. Gently sloping rooflines that arched into points with perfect symmetry between the two huge wings. It was a stunning place nestled on the crest of a grassy knoll. He knew as well as the scars he could trace along his spine, as well as the cigarette stubs snuffed against his wings with wicked intention.

    Lovely place for a hellhole.

    {In which Grian looks over his shoulder, Mumbo puts together some context clues, Scar gets tunnel vision and painful memories are left beneath the dirt}

    Summary

    “Scar! You needa take Mumbo’s temp-er-a-ture and be the doctor and I’ll be the nurse and he’ll be the patient because he’s sick and do you want to see the picture I did of a frog and we could make more dino nuggies for you and have cookies and—”

    “Woah, slow down there, G. Don’t forget that you have to breathe from time to time! And let’s use your inside voices. What’s this about Mumbo being sick?”

    Mumbo rolled his eyes, forcing nonchalance. “Ignore him. I made the mistake of letting him have sugar with his lunch.”

    “I heard you throwin’ up!” shouted Grian, clearly frustrated that Mumbo was dismissing him.

    Scar picked Grian up onto his wheelchair, letting him sit on his lap. “Oh? That’s—” He looked at Mumbo.

    His expression gave him away immediately. Mumbo knew it. Even Scar, famous for his obliviousness, caught on. Exactly what he was hoping wouldn’t happen.

     

    in which grian is small and emotional and mumbo is not small but just as emotional.
