(cool)
Rykah's ears twitched again, "Hey you didn't spook at the wings and tail originally…." he said laughing, "So why spook on their origin?"
Jesse smiled. “No idea.”
Will laughed, and said, “You guys ready to go?”
"yup!" said Rykah happily, hopping down from his spot on the counter, his tail flicking faster than before.
Everyone else stood up, moving towards the doorway.
Rykah followed them, careful to keep his left wing out of the way, still favouring both his wing and leg as he walked.
Will put his arm around Rykah, as they pulled up the rear of the group. Anna, Jesse, and Jack were all debating whether or not it was better to lie to someone or tell them the truth even if it hurt their feelings. Anna and Jack had had this argument a few months prior, and now wanted Jesse to give feedback on it.
Rykah ignored their conversation, leaning into Will, glad the other boy had come up on his right side and not his left, the last thing he needed was to trigger another attack of agony.
(Evil laugh)
Will made sure that it wasn’t obvious that Rykah was leaning into him, and then began chiming in on the argument.
(I have to go for the night. I’ll be on and off tomorrow)
(Ok… same here)
Rykah smiled, listening to the different voices as they walked, infinitely grateful that yesterday was over.
“Finn, you have to be our tie breaker!” No one had won yet, and the argument was getting increasingly louder.
“It’s better to tell the truth. Every time.” Finn replied, giving a pointed glance to Anna.
Rykah smiled at all of them as they got to the park, his tail flicking playfully
Anna and Jesse both immediately took off for a large, climable rock in the middle of the park, while Jack rolled his eyes and followed them to make neither of them got hurt. Finn sat down on a park bench, watching everything.
Rykah pulled away from Will a little, and stretched his wings. A quick look at Will and he tore of, running a few feet before gliding to get some air, touching down again he took of entirely, letting his wings take him high into the air.
Will smiled, before tensing. “Crapcrapcrapcrap….”
“What’s wrong, Will?” Finn asked immediately.
“Dalton…..”
Rykah flew on for a few minutes before noticing someone approaching Will. Coming lower for a better look his ears flattened as he went in for a landing. His wings coming out for a parachute he came in low, attempting to touch down and come to a running stop, a few feet away from Will, and Dalton. But as usual he failed to land properly and went face first into the dirt.
Will put his hand out to Rykah without even taking his eyes off of Dalton.
Rykah picked himself up, spitting out a bit of grass as he stood up. Brushing himself off his eyes were immediately trained on Dalton as he took Will's hand, his wing instinctively wrapping around him.
“Well, look who it is.” Dalton said.
“Listen, just leave us alone. We’re sorry that your dad got in trouble, but we don’t want any issues.” Will tried to reason, while Finn quickly stood up and glared st Dalton.
Rykah stayed silent, watching Dalton's every move. His tail flicked anxiously, and his ears were completely flat.
“Do we have a problem over here?” Finn asked seriously. Will looked over at where his siblings were, and noticed that they were making their way over.
“Nope.” Dalton replied easily, although you could tell that he wanted Finn gone.
“I’ll be over there, Will.” Finn said quietly, pointing to the bench he had been on earlier.
Rykah glared at him, wanting to pull Will away, but also not wanting to upset his boyfriend.
“So I see you got your big brother back. Still need someone to protect you then?” Dalton asked. Will frowned sadly.
Behind them, Anna walked out to finn and asked what was going on.
Will said, “If you’re going to do something, then just do it and leave us alone.”
Rykah stayed where he was, refusing to leave Will alone for two seconds with this rat.
(We need drama!)
(I know, Jesse will escalate the situation, because he’s like that)
Jesse, instead of thinking about whether it was smart to do so, walked up to them and jabbed a finger in Dalton’s chest. “You stay away from him, or I swear I will rip your lungs out.”
Will’s eyes widened as Dalton immediately swung at Jesse.
Rykah immediately pulled in front of Will, his wings flaring at the movement.
Jesse didn’t suck on time, and received what was likely going to be a black eye later. This just made him angry, thus causing him to tackle Dalton. Before anyone really knew what was happening, a full scale fist fight broke out.
Rykah's eyes flicked to Will, "You ok?" he asked tensly, wanting to stay away from the fight.
Will nodded silently.
Several minutes later, Anna and Finn has split the two apart, Anna’s arms around Jesse’s stomach and Finn doing the same with Dalton, holding them both back. Anna carefully dragged Jesse back, while Finn shoved Dalton back a little.
Rykah was still tense, his tail lashing as he kept one eye one Will, and the other on Dalton.
(Need to get Rykah involved)
Finn glared at Dalton, before realizing that Jesse was lashing out against Anna, and going to go make it stop.
“What are you looking at, freak?” Dalton said to Rykah.
