"I'm on my way right now, I just had to say bye to Ace," Kwared hummed into the phone, his wings probably drowning his voice out as he hopped off of his balcony. Phandrin nodded to himself from the other end.
"Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance, bye love," He smiled into the phone as Kwared hummed. "See you soon,"
Kwared swerved around a few trees as he flew down towards the city, glancing down at the few people walking below, some people flying around him. He was excited to see the others but was nervous at the same time, since he hadn't seen most of them in a couple of years.
He watched for the familiar building before slowing. He spotted Phandrin who waved with a smile, Kwared landing down in front of him. He stumbled slightly, his wings shutting and smalling on his back as he smiled back.
"Did it go well with Ace?" Phandrin hummed, pushing Kwareds bangs back, his hair having fallen in front of his face. Kwared nodded, leaning into it as he glanced to the door of the building. Phandrin thought he looked like a cat not that he was ok with being touched by him, his head practically leaned to the side on Phandrins hand.
"She apologized, we are friends now, and I'm glad," Kwared nodded towards the building, Phandrin turning as well. "That's good, Everyone is waiting out back, are you okay?" Phandrin asked, Kwared shrugging as he continued to stall.
"Well let's go, I heard a lot about you from them actually, they're all fond of you," he tried to reassure, Kwared nodding as they entered the building. Kwared snickered to himself slightly as he followed Phandrin, the hallways narrow. A woman glanced at him, keeping to herself as he sneered.
Once they made it to the back door, Phandrin stepped out with ease, Kwared jumping down on the walkway. He barely blinked before he was practically tackled, his eyes widening as he landed on his back. His nails extendedbefore opening his eyes, a person sitting above him.
"What-," He hissed, the persons grin growing.
"KWARED! I'm Atlan! I'm the one who talked to you while you were in solitary," Atlan smiled widely, gripping Kwareds shoulders. Kwared paused trying to recall before smiling slightly. "You're the one whos been in there for like, ten years right?" He huffed, sitting up, his tail flicking behind him as Atlan nodded. Phandrin stepped back letting the others talk as Chishero wrapped a tentacle around Atlan, pulling him off of Kwared.
Kwared stood up again whipping his tail to rid of the dirt, Atlan flailing in Chisheros grip.
"You look like absolute havoc," Aliskan hissed, Kwared turning around to face the centipede quickly, a sneaky grin on his face. "I'm surprised you're alive," Kwared barked, Aliskan raising a brow as he scoffed.
"If you can survive, I know damn well I can, plus Ciperons here, what'd you expect," Aliskan rolled his eyes, Kwared shrugging. "Jeez you guys haven't changed at all," Kwared hummed, leaning down and turning to Vinstance whos eyes widened.
"I missed you~," Kwared grinned, yanking one of the boys horns as he yelped.
"You just missed harrassing me, bully," Vinstance grabbed one of Kwareds ears, yanking him to the side. Kwared yelped, hand going to his ear that pressed back. Ciperon laughed from behind Vinstance, Kwared grinning. He leaned to the side, his hair falling as he looked at Ciperon.
"Heyyyy~ You still mad at me?" He growled under his breath as Ciperon nodded, Kwared noting that his eyes weren't focused.
"Why?" He hummed, Ciperon pausing. "I don't know," he said flatly, Kwared snickering as he grabbed the boys wrist, lifting it above his head.
"Awe you missed me, wouldn't you have taken this out?" Kwared eyed the metal ring through his fin, Ciperon tugging back. "Are your eyes okay-?" Kwared raised a brow, Ciperon shaking his head.
"I'm almost blind, and deaf," He said as Kwareds tail wilted. Ciperon used to ramble about being excited to leave and see the outdoors.
"I can see shadows, so stop pouting, I'm fine, I have Vinstance," Ciperon shrugged, Phandrin standing with a confused look. Aliskan tapped him, motioning him to lean down.
"Ciperon isn't all there, what he told you or tells you about people could be false or true, you never know, Kwared never killed anhyone, not any quadrants anyways," Aliskan whispered as Phandrin nodded.
Kwared was about to speak again before he was yanked back, Chishero pulling Kwareds back to his chest in a hug, Kwared immobilized from the boys tentacles. He struggled for a second, Chishero snickering.
"Wow, I'm hurt you didn't come talk to me first, I thought we were best friends?" Chishero mocked, Kwared rolling his eyes. "Get your tentacles off of me, your gonna leave marks you idiot," Kwared barked, Chishero pulling Kwared turtleneck down slightly.
"Like these?" He laughed, Phandrin grinning to himself slightly, eyeing Chishero as Kwared struggled. "Looks like someone got to you before me, too bad. Don't worry it's not noticeable," Chishero shrugged, dropping Kwared down. Kwared huffed, fixing his collar as Chishero turned away in a jokingly mad way.
"Don't be a baby," Kwared mustered, Chishero lifting him to his feet as he growled. "Nice wings loverboy, I thought you were all about no soulmates," Aliskan teased, pulling open Kwareds wings. Kwared froze for a second, glancing at Phandrin who smiled waved his hand down in a 'calm down' manner, Kwared relaxing a bit.
"Fox and goat, weird," Vinstance said as Atlan let out a loud yell, demanding to be let down now as he was beginning to get dizzy. Chishero dropped him, Atlan immediately going to Phandrin and hiding behind him.
"Jeez these people are insANE," He huffed, Phandrin laughing as he felt Atlan tug his wings.
"GUYS, They match! This is so cool," Atlan grinned, Phandrin nodding as Kwared struggled. "This ain't a petting zoo, let go of me," Kwared barked, Aliskan eyeing him mockingly.
"Last I checked you loved being pet-," He started but Kwared cut him off with a glare. Phandrin raised a brow, knowing he'd have to test this statement later.
"On another note," Kwared yanked his wings and tail from Chishero and Vinstance, Atlan still hiding behind Phandrin. Phandrin liked Atlan, he was like a puppy that had no idea what was going on 90 percent of the time, but still tried to fit in.
"You guys are allowed to come to our school which means we have to introduce you to Phandrins friends. You can't hang around me too much since I'm not too loved, but Phandrin has a good reputation," Kwared nodded, Chishero rolling his eyes.
"Won't we all have a bad reputation-?" Aliskan cut in, tapping Kwared on the shoulder
"He has a really bad reputation," Phandrin cut in, Kwared nodding as Chishero nodded as well.
"Well let's beat those rats up! Are they bullies like Kwared?" Atlan barked, jumping up and down behind Phandrin in a fighting stance, punching the air. "Only Kwared can bully us,"
Kwared snickered to himself, Aliskan turning to him questioningly. "What'd you do to make your reputation so bad?" He asked, Kwared staying quiet before shrugging.
"Alot, I'm the king at my school though, so I have most say, they won't bug you if you don't stick around with me," Kwared said, adjusting his wings to be flat against his back again, Vinstance done looking.
"But we like youuu, and do you mean king like in quadrant fighting? Like in the newspaper? Jeez you must be strong," Atlan shook his head, running up to Kwared again. Kwared nodded, recalling the papers that'd get thrown out. Atlan could reach the trash from his cell, and he'd read them out loud to Kwared as well.
"We should fight some time," Aliskan nodded quickly as Phandrin exhaled, a face of disbelief as he kicked a rock away from his feet. Aliskan glanced at him as Kwared shrugged.
"I don't like fighting facility quadrants, but if you really wanna. Kertias in the hospital right now. He was the king but I think I broke his skull so..." Kwared paused, Ciperon gaping at him slightly.
"Jeez, poor Kertia. He's the one that escaped the facility right? He is a legend among us," Ciperon nodded quickly, Kwared laughing nervously. "You got fried and put down under, rip you too-," Aliskan mused, Kwared shrugging.
"Still can't go into small dark places-,"
