    Summary

    Doc would never have considered himself a relatively profound friend of Ren’s. They were friends, for certain, but in the same way Doc would consider himself a friend of Joe’s or a friend of Scar’s. They interact. They spend time together. They sometimes collaborate on builds.

    And, on occasion, Doc supposes that friendship extends to pulling the man from lava and attempting to salvage what bits of him have been destroyed and mangled from a near disastrous end of a season.

    But, really, he should know the man better. He should have some sense of who Ren is, of what he needs, what he does, yet the man sat before him… He’s not certain it’s Ren at all.

    And Doc doesn’t know enough to explain why…

    --

    Also known as: Ren has DID, Doc has no clue, and they're both stuck on a ship together for two months

    Summary

    Preening was an intimate thing. Only done between family, partners, or really close friends. And Gem and Impulse were his friends, his allies, he would trust them with his life. But this was a death game, and his instincts were on high alert, so that simply wasn’t enough.

    Just leaving his wings wasn't pleasant – the itchy feathers were a whole new kind of hell that left him wondering if it was worth dying a couple of times so that he could get out of the game – but until he figured out who he could trust with his wings, it was the only option he had. Jimmy would normally be his first choice, but he was red, and while Scott knew that he was unlikely to use Scott’s weakness to his advantage between sessions, there was always a chance. Out of the non-red players, most of them were ruled out simply for the same reason Impulse and Gem were ruled out. Regardless of past alliances, or close friendships, his instincts were demanding complete trust, which was hard to come by in a game of death and betrayal, especially this one, where keeping secrets from each other was kind of the entire thing.

    Hard to come by… but not impossible.

    Summary

    Scar looks at him, “hey…you going to crack that?”

    Grian does not respond.

    Scar reaches out to help him crack it but Grian takes a step back.

    The avian glares at him, egg cradled gently in his hands.

    “Gri, what are you doing?” Scar chuckles, reaching for the egg.

    Grian swipes at Scar’s hand with his talons extended.

    Scar pulls his hands away, “Hey!”

     

    or, Grian goes parent mode for like an hour with any egg someone gives him

    Summary

    The man looked to be in a very bad way. Scar watched him from the doorframe, curious eyes glued to anywhere that wasn't his infested wings. …Was he alive? His hair was filled with sticks and dust as if he had crash landed from mars, but he swore that he saw a shallow rise and fall of life.

    He debated if it was really worth checking again, - if he left him long enough he might just drown in the puddle his face was mushed in.

    (…)

    Scar sighed.

    ——————————

    In a church at the end of the world, a wounded man falls into Scar's care.
