[It's a question, but not. He sort of snorts when he says it like it's a joke.]
In a shocking turn of events, no actually. Back home, there are two people named Hawkman and Hawkgirl. I'll give you three guesses what they have and the first two don't count.
anyway they come back down to jason's level instead of browsing through the books, and let him take a closer look if he'd like, extending the left one out fully. the wings aren't particularly feathery - they're just made of shadows in a wing shape. ] Really creative name scheme, huh? Guess I can't really talk.
[Hmm. He just looks over the extended wing at first, brows together. Why aren't they feathery, you room full of feathers bastard... Hesitantly, he reaches out, but stops and pulls a little back.]
[ they like their name, thank you. also wow, asking. good boy jason is a lot, actually.
aquila wiggles the wing and then presses it into his hand when he pulls a little back. it's a little cold to the touch! it's more smooth textured than soft. ] Pet me gently. [ cease ]
[WAH. He sort of squints when the wing comes in hot, but doesn't do anything but raise his hand to "block" it. It feels... weird! It feels really fucking weird.]
You know, like... [Gestures at the wing.] Your feathers. How are you going to have wings, but not have any feathers on them? What the heck kind of wings...
You want a big family? You can have this one; see how long you last. You bicker more than anything else. Working with them sucks. Your "Dad" critiques everything you do. [Looks away.] ...Have someone to call when you get in a sticky situation, though.
[ they laugh when he does, playfully batting at him with the edge of it. ]
Well. Some of that's familiar. [ aquila daddy issues last name. ] Do a lot of bickering with the family I do have. But the backup must be nice. Where do you fall in your family, in terms of age?
[WAH. He sort of swats a bit at it as it unfairly attacks him in retaliation.]
Second oldest. [There is no reason for him to sound this proud. None.] Unless you count Babs. Then I'm third oldest. But she isn't adopted, so I'm second oldest.

He watches them float, pauses. He watches the wings with some interest, thinking. Listening too.]
Must be why they seemed to like the one I gave them in the tip box. Good for past me. They seem like a stickler.

How long you had those? The wings.

[ they hum, running their fingers over the spine of a book up at the top shelf. ] First time you've seen 'em?

Yeah, you can't, Aquila.
[Hmm. He just looks over the extended wing at first, brows together. Why aren't they feathery, you room full of feathers bastard... Hesitantly, he reaches out, but stops and pulls a little back.]
Can I touch it?

[ they try to like, glance over their shoulder like they can see it...? ]
Iunno. Sucks, doesn't it? They're supposed to be feathery as hell, but no matter what, they come out like this.
no subject
Seriously...? That's... a little weird, I'm going to be honest. Nightman not a big fan of birds, or something?
no subject
Maybe. Maybe it's just an aesthetic thing. [ they reach over and pat one of their shadowy wings. ] Y'know, shadows and shit.
Guess I can't complain. Least I still get to have 'em.
no subject
[He still thinks this is weird, but cannot point it out because his evidence is breaking and entering.]
Not really a fan of wings or anything, but... they're pretty cool, I guess.

[ aquila is
the last person on god's green earth who is allowed to joke about daddy issues ]
no subject
Kinda rude. Maybe I'm really well-adjusted. [He's not!!! Well, he is when I lobotomized his trauma away.] It's a big family, so we split the issues.
no subject
anyway they look curious, tilting their head. ] Mmn. Big family...?
no subject
Yeah. There are about, I don't know, ten of us. Give or take a few who aren't legally required to show up to family get-togethers.
no subject
aquila whistles, like a daaamn whistle. ] Shit, yeah. What're a group of bats, a cauldron?
Never really had a big family. Might be nice.
