"You got a hawk!?" Yoon cried.

Jae-ha and I had just returned, the hawk now firmly snuggled against my face, which pushed my hood against my jaw. The hawk taken an instant liking to Jae-ha and I. Which caused the green haired man to joke that it was like our child. I had scolded him, while bright red. Much to Jae-ha's amusement.

"Of course" I hummed, pulling off my hood.

"That's your plan!?" He cried. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"If it helps, this was the worst bird possible" I said.

"How is that helpful!?" He cried.

"Because it was the cheapest, and probably the longest bird in there. It was terrified, the poor thing" I sighed, scratching the bird under it's chin. He cooed, pressing against my face.

"It is really attached to you" Yona said, leaning forward and assessing it. It squawked, ready to attack, so I stepped back.

"Can I borrow some herbs? I think his leg is broken" I smiled to Yoon.

"That bird is entirely your responsibility, got it?" Yoon growled.

"Of course" I smiled.

~Time skip~

It was the dragon's turn to go out and get food. So while they where out, I worked on the hawk.

Everyone else was talking while my eyes didn't leave the hawk once. He was so much more injured then I had originally thought. That boy... He had physically attacked the bird, throwing it into the cage... And it couldn't fight back.

I bit my lip as I finished up the last injury and pulling off my cloak, making a bed for it. He curled up within it. I then moved onto the letter.

Dear Soo-won,                                                                                                                                                                        I know this will be a surprise, and I apologize for the sudden disruption from what ever you are doing. This matter is urgent, and I beg of you, please do not push this aside.                                       Xing is currently divided, Princess Kouren wants war, and Princess Tao wants peace. My travelling group is standing behind Princess Tao.                                                                                                  You are the king, and I know I cannot stop you. But there is no way Xing would win. So please, do what ever preparation you like, even get into position for war, but please just hold back the battle. If we get approved from Princess Kouren, we will send a messenger of sought's to discuss a time and place for a discussion. I will keep you updated, if you like.                                                        Sincerely,                                                                                                                                                                                  Azumi.

I sighed, folding up the letter and connected it to the hawk. I told the hawk the address and let it fly.

"Kija and the others are sure taking a while" Yoon said.

"You're right..." Yona muttered.

"I'll go and bring them back" Yoon hummed.

"I'll join you" I said, rising and pulling my hood over my head.

"Be careful!" Yona called.

"Okay!" Yoon cried. 

We ran forward, through the streets and I gasped when I saw Jae-ha getting beat up.
