Cyrus
“Thanks for meeting with me Dawn, please come in come in” Cyrus greeted and Dawn grinned a little bit as she properly entered the house.
“It’s no problem at all, it’s nice getting out of my cottage for a bit” She remarked and Cyrus hummed in agreement before gesturing for her to take a seat at the table as he took his own.
“So, have you had any luck finding Sally?” He asked and Dawn groaned as she leaned her head back in defeat.
“None! I have no idea where she is or how she’s managed to stay hidden” She grumbled unhappily and Cyrus hummed thoughtfully.
“Could she have left the server?” He suggested but Dawn just shook her head as she glanced back at him while swiping her hand through the air which made several screens pop up.
“I had considered that when Sebastian couldn’t track her but according to the world’s code she’s still here but her location is… I don’t know… glitched? Whatever it is I can’t see it and it’s frustrating” She grumbled as she poked at one of the screens and a profile of Sally popped up.
“That’s rather peculiar” Cyrus mused as he glanced at the screen to see if he could garner any information from it.
“And Techno, have you found him yet?” He asked after a moment when he couldn’t figure anything out from Sally's profile.
“Oh, I know exactly where Techno is, he just doesn’t know that I know” Dawn remarked cheekily as she swiped the screens away which made Cyrus sputter in shock.
“You do? Then why haven’t you confronted him yet? Callum mentioned that you were rather upset with him” Cyrus questioned after regaining his composer and Dawn smirked a bit as she leaned back in her chair.
“Oh I’m still mad but it would be no fun if I confronted him now, I’ve got to let him fall into a false sense of security first” She explained cheekily which made Cyrus chuckle in amusement.
“And don’t worry I’m not upset over you not telling me where he is, I know that you just want to protect your kids” She remarked softly which made Cyrus’ eyes go wide in shock.
“H-how did you know?” He questioned which earned him a fond look from Dawn.
“You are not as sneaky as you think you are old man” She said cheekily which made Cyrus huff in amusement.
“Cheeky brat” He grumbled good-naturedly as he rolled his eyes fondly which made Dawn giggle in amusement.
“So did you just want an update on Sally or was there something else you wanted to discuss?” Dawn questioned after she regained some composure and Cyrus hummed softly as he leaned forward.
“Yes actually, what I wanted to discuss with you was your wings” He explained to which Dawn immediately sat up straight with a guarded expression on her face.
“My… wings?” She questioned tensely and Cyrus nodded as his own wings fluffed up a bit.
“I’m rather curious about them if I’m being honest. I only really got a brief glimpse of them but I have never seen wings quite like yours before and to be honest, if I hadn't seen them I wouldn’t even have pegged you for an avian as you don’t exactly have any other traits” He explained as he reached up to scratch at his crest feathers as if to prove his point. Dawn hummed thoughtfully as she stared at him for a moment before sighing and slouching a bit in her seat.
“That's because I’m not an avian” She explained which made Cyrus blink slowly in confusion.
“What?” He questioned, Dawn shifted a little bit before her wings appeared and she spread them out to their full length which allowed Cyrus to get a proper look at them.
They were about medium-long and narrow as well as an inky black colour that almost seemed to suck the light out of the room with purple code dancing across them in a sporadic dance. Cyrus’ eyes went wide as he tracked the dancing code when he realized that it wasn’t random but it was a type of code that he recognized, a type of code that belonged to a God.
“My wings were a gift from The God of The End, Ambroz. They were plucked out from the void and imbued with his magic linking them to my internal code” Dawn explained and Cyrus’ jaw dropped a little at the confirmation.
“Why?” He questioned stunned, he had never known Ambroz to be a very giving God in fact Elowen had gotten into a fair share of arguments with him over his lack of compassion for humans.
“I lost something that he could not restore and so he gave me these as a sort of apology” Dawn explained as she folded her wings against her back not feeling up to vanishing them quite yet while Cyrus tilted his head in confusion.
“What exactly did you lose?” He asked softly, making Dawn let out a shaky little sigh as she clenched her fist.
“I don’t want to talk about it” She muttered and Cyrus nodded in understanding as he reached over to place a soothing hand on top of Dawn’s.
“I understand, but if you ever need to talk just know that my door is always open” He said reassuringly which made Dawn smile a bit.
“Thanks, Cyrus. I’ll keep that in mind” She said softly which earned her a warm smile from the avian. The rather wholesome moment was interrupted when Ezran suddenly burst into the house with a chaotic grin on his face.
“Cyrus! Can I have a flint and steel?” He requested cheerfully as he fully stepped into the room with Vesper shyly following behind him. Dawn grinned a little when she noticed the newest member of the server, she hadn’t had much of a chance to get to know him yet but she was quite proud of Ezran for including the other pup in activities even if those activities required flint and steel.
“I’m not giving you flint and steel, child” Cyrus stated which made Ezran pout a bit before he turned his attention towards Dawn.
“Dawn, can you give me a flint and steel? Please?” He requested as he gave her big puppy dog eyes that had Dawn's resolve cracking.
“Dawn don’t” Cyrus said while Ezran reached over and whacked Vesper’s arm, which led the half-enderman to also give Dawn big puppy dog eyes though he made a point of not making direct eye contact. With the combined effort of the two pups, Dawn’s resolve broke.
“Fine” She said as she handed Ezran a flint which made the blonde cheer excitedly.
“Thanks, Dawn!” He chirped as he dragged Vesper out of the house who gave them a small wave before he was dragged away.
Dawn smiled a little before looking at Cyrus only to see him shaking his head in disappointment. She groaned as what she did fully registered and she thunked her head against the table. Maybe Vesper will be able to reign Ezran in from causing too much chaos.
