Any landing you can walk away from...

"You know, it's funny." Scott clutched his side as he leaned against the flaming wreckage that had once been Cid's plane

If she was there, Nix would of readily agreed but she was miles away, searching frantically.

A small creature zipped past just in Nix's periphery. It was sleek and dark, but it didn't move like you'd expect it to. Rather than swoop, it would flit back and forth as it moved forward. Its wings were nearly a blur as it circled once and then continued to move forward. On its second pass, it was a little easier to see, and its beak didn't look right either... it was like nothing so much as a cross-breed between a hummingbird and a hawk. A moment later, it was halfway to the mountains to the southeast.

She found it curious that the creature had only fluttered in her general location and nowhere else. Watching it go in the direction of the mountains. Taking a risk, she changed into her summons form and flew after the small creature.

The humminghawk dove into the crags, followed some complicated path for which it took some effort to keep up. After a time, it landed on the thick leather glove of a man who watched Nix approach. He peered out from a mass of skraggled hair and leaned against a shovel silently. One eye was covered by a thick hide patch.

"I expected the robot."

Landing a few feet away from the man, the Phoenix gave him a quizzical look. It was almost like she was asking 'what robot?'.

[lazymetaphors]

The man straightened his beard with two fingers and tapped on his eyepatch. "He has one of these, too."

[aeon_phoenix]

Mentally sighing, she ruffles her feathers and hopes that she doesn't cause the man to have a heart attack.

I'm sorry. What robot?
