Back off...

[fnick]

Fang was not happy. While he hardly ever appeared happy to begin with, this was another unhappy entirely. He was protective of his flock. Max may have been the leader, but Fang was generally bigger and undoubtedly stronger. If Max was in trouble, who was there to bail her out

Fred saunters in, a smirk planted on his face. "So. I heard someone was looking for me? No doubt my charm and pranking infamy has impressed a newcomer. I'll gladly sign an autograph," he laughs, scratching the back of his neck. "But seriously now, what's going on?"

[fnick]

Ooooh this will be interesting. "Yeah, that would be me." Fang sizes the boy up some, stretching his massive hawk-plumed wings some instictively. "So your Fred, huh?"

[which_is_which]

Fred nods non-chalantly. "Yup. I'm Fred. Pleased to meet you." He takes notice of Fang's outstretched wings and fights not to smirk. Not something out of the ordinary to see in -this- place.

[fnick]

"Name's Fang. I'm a... friend of Max's. We need to talk." In an instant his wings are pulled tight agaist his back again. However accepting people may be of the strange here, Fang's past have made him as self-conscious as the rest of the flock.

"You've been hanging out with Max a lot lately, right?"

[which_is_which]

He shrugs. "I wouldn't say we hang around a -lot-, but we've started to become friends, yeah."

[fnick]

"See, that's not what I've heard." Fang's voice is almost a growl. "Friends I'm fine with."

"Going on a date does not mean going steady, Fang."

[which_is_which]

Fred's face wrinkles for a moment. "I don't know what you've heard, so I can't say anything on it. But we're friends. And if you're fine with that, then I'm fine with that. I'm not about getting in between other people's friendships."

Then with a genuine smile, he cocks his head and looks at Fang's wings. "Those are rather brilliant by the way. Wicked colouring."

[fnick]

"Good." This statement obviously is meant for both Max and Fred. "Let's keep it that way."

He's a bit thrown off by the sudden change of subject and the genuine smile. Fang has always been suspicious of anything that looks remotely genuine. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. And in Fang's experience so far, people who are true are too good to be true.

Yeah, so he's a bit paranoid. Anyone else would be too.

"Uh.. thanks?"

[which_is_which]

"No worries mate. They're not particularly bizarre around here, but I can appreciate good plummage when I see it. So, you just arrived then?"

[fnick]

"Yeah, I noticed. Of all of us Ange has the best. She's only just comming out the last of her down, though..."

"No, actually. Came here a few months ago and left a bit to look for the rest of the flock, since no one else was going to. Back though."

[which_is_which]

"Well welcome back then, yeah? Maybe I'll see you around." Fred nods and smiles, shoving his hands in his pockets and moving to turn away.

[fnick]

"Believe it or not it's nice being back." Fang nods as well though doesn't smile, and relaxes his wings some agaist his back.

"Hey Fred. Keep whatever it is with you and Max to 'just friends' and we won't have any trouble. Got it?"

[which_is_which]

"I thought we had that established from the start, eh? Just relax mate, I won't make a move on your girl." He shrugs and smiles. "I'm not a home-wreckin' kind of guy."

[fnick]

"Good."
