The park- Saturday afternoon

[throughaphase]

This was day four of Clint being a hawk, and the longer this went on, the more Kitty tried to gauge for just how unhappy he was going to be about this whole thing when he was back to normal. She was trying to make it easier on him, too, in case that helped: she wouldn't feed him anything gross no matter what Wikipedia said, and she tried to make sure he got time to be out and not cooped up indoors.

Even if the weather wasn't fantastic, it wasn't bad. So Kitty headed out to the park with a hawk perched on her arm, let him loose to fly around some, and took a seat on a bench to watch.

"So radio was right." Derek, don't be a dick to the bird. It was just tacky.

[throughaphase]

"I'd be nice," Kitty told him. "He can totally peck your eyes out like this."

[justlurkinghere]

"I'd heal." Which was Derek for: Worth it.

[throughaphase]

"Well, I don't want to watch that, so be nice anyway," she told him.

[justlurkinghere]

"I will if he is," Derek replied dryly, taking a seat on the bench, arms spread out over the back of it.

[throughaphase]

"I think he's otherwise occupied right now," Kitty said, looking back up. "At least he turned into something cool?"

[justlurkinghere]

"A hawk?" You say to the werewolf, Kitty.

[throughaphase]

"I don't get to fly around," she pointed out. "Do you get to fly around?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I don't want to fly around."

[throughaphase]

Kitty blinked. "Seriously? At all?"

[justlurkinghere]

"I can drive and run just fine."

[throughaphase]

"That's not really any fun, though," Kitty said. And okay, maybe that should have said it all right there.

[justlurkinghere]

"Because I'm a ball of fun," Derek shot back.

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, I knew it as the words were coming out of my mouth," she admitted.

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm just glad I have't had to turn into anything less... normal since I've been here."

[throughaphase]

"You know you just jinxed yourself, right?" she asked.

[justlurkinghere]

Damn it, Fandom.

"...no I haven't."

He so, so had.

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, you really did," she said. "I've got to start carrying my camera around just in case."

[justlurkinghere]

Derek just sighed dramatically. "You're worse than Stiles."

[throughaphase]

"No, I think Stiles and I are exactly just as bad," Kitty said. "Except he's around more to take pictures."

...Which he'd better send to Kitty immediately.

[justlurkinghere]

"I'll break that phone, I swear."

[throughaphase]

"You will not," she said. "He needs it. And you'll probably have paws or hooves or whatever when he needs to use it, so there."

[justlurkinghere]

"Which will mean I'll break it once I have hands." Because then the pictures stopped existing.

[throughaphase]

Yes, they'd disappear from other phones and the internet immediately!

"Yeah, that'll totally work. No flaws in that plan."

[justlurkinghere]

"Shut up." He wasn't dealing with this, damn it.

[throughaphase]

"See, we're once again back to where that's no fun," Kitty said.

[justlurkinghere]

"I'm fun in my own way." His own, funless way. "I watched a bad movie the other week. That's supposed to be fun."

It had been fun, don't let him kid you.

[throughaphase]

"Like, so bad it's sort of good?" she checked. Maybe she wanted to hear him say something vaguely positive.

[justlurkinghere]

"Apparently the actor looked like me." Just like him.

[throughaphase]

"And what movie was this?" Because she was going to have to IMDb this.

[justlurkinghere]

"Stiles picked it. I'm not sure." He knew full well what it was. But no one needed to see someone who looked like him crying all the time.

[throughaphase]

"Okay, I'll check with him," she said.

[justlurkinghere]

DAMN IT.

"Why?"

[throughaphase]

"Because I want to see if he really looks like you," Kitty replied.

[justlurkinghere]

"It was really bad."

[throughaphase]

"That makes it even better." Because it was fun to watch bad things, okay.

[justlurkinghere]

"Worse than the one with the flying monkeys."

[throughaphase]

"There was one with flying monkeys?"

[justlurkinghere]

You escaped that pit of despair then, Kitty.

"It was horrible. Somehow ninjas were involved."

[throughaphase]

"Ninjas... involved with flying monkeys," she repeated. "I couldn't have heard that right."

[justlurkinghere]

Oh, she had. "It was on the SyFy channel." A beat. "Ask Stiles."

[throughaphase]

"I'll add it to the list," Kitty said. "I usually stay away from that channel now because it leads to really weird dreams if you fall asleep in front of the TV."

Lessons learned while sick, yes.

[justlurkinghere]

"...really?" Now he had an excuse to get out of other movies!

[throughaphase]

Yeah, good luck with that!

"The fever might have helped with that, though," Kitty admitted. "Or the NyQuil."
