If We Go Down Then We Go Down Together (Talenny)

Talon - What Just Happened??

I trudge into my Uncle's command room, bracing myself for any yelling that would likely be to come. I'm taken aback as he pulls me into a hug? I think it's a hug but it could also be him choking the life out of me.

Nope, it's a hug. He stands up and straightens his jacket, leaving me frozen in confusion. I open my mouth but no sound comes out.

He leaves the room without saying anything, but pings a message onto my bracer.

CrazyInsaneUncle: Command room at 3pm. Visit to Southbound @ 3.45.

So he called me in here to hug me. I think I need to get the doctors to check his temperature or something. He's never cared about me... I shake my head, maybe even my Uncle has a good side. Am I letting one hug cloud my judgement? I doubt he meant it, and is one hug = hours, no DAYS, of torture?

I walk out of his command room and into my bedroom, still kinda shocked and FaceCall Will again. I bet he'd know what's going on.

'Sup?' he says answering the call. 'Couple of things,' I reply, and he raises his eyebrows. '1. I have a metal arm, 2. Uncle Claw just hugged me, 3. I'm touring Southend's in like 1 hour.' I tell him grinning. His jaw drops. 'Every part of that was mindblowing. Except, I'm gonna be at the tour so we can talk about stuff more then too.' he replies, and I smile knowingly.

I jump slightly at the noise of the MADmobile being started up in the garage below me. 'Gotta go,' I tell William. 'See ya in 40 minutes.' he replies with a wink. We both smirk and fistbump the lens (our signature thing-save your judgements for later, I'm not the only Claw with a devilishly handsome smirk) before ending the call. I stand up and meet my Uncle downstairs.
