Cyrus walked behind him. He kept quiet unless Lorenzo started a conversation

Lorenzo kept quiet as well. When they got to his house, he went inside to find Corbin and Nathaniel. A couple minutes later, Corbin came out of the house by himself and shivered a bit at the cold.

Cyrus quickly wrapped his wings around corbin. “ hey love!” he said cheerfully and with a warm smile.

"Hiiii… how was training?" Corbin asked with a yawn. The door closed behind him and he huddled into Cyrus.

“ it was.. Okay..” he strained to even say it like that. “ I ranked up and now have about a year and a half till I'm an elite. Then no more training at all.”

"Ooh, yaay… no more training." Corbin replied tiredly, taking Cyrus' hand in his own. Thankfully, he didn't seem to notice the strained tone. "Home time?"

“…you okay?” he asked softly and gave corbin a worried look

"Mm…? Yeah, I'm just tired…" Corbin turned to start walking home with Cyrus.

Cyrus kept corbin close, making a soft chirping sound

"We should probably get something to eat, yeah? I'm kinda hungry…"

“ okay, where you wanna go?”

Corbin shrugged a bit. "I dunno… I'm not picky. We could do something at home too, if you prefer."

“ I don't mind cori. I kinda just wanna lay down and sleep the pain away” he mumbled the last part

"Okay… um… I guess we can just make something at home, then, if you're wanting to rest." Corbin yawned again and headed into his apartment building.

“ sounds good.” He said softly

Corbin opened his door and headed into the kitchen to make something to eat.

Cyrus laid in the couch. He was covered in a good bit of bruises

Corbin just made some mac and cheese and brought two bowls out to where Cyrus was. "You okay?"

“ just hurting..” he mumbled and sat up.

"You said training was fine, though…" Corbin sat beside Cyrus and handed him a bowl.

“yeah and I didn't want you worrying at that moment. I was just ready to see your smile and it make everything fade away” he took the bowl great fully and began to ate

Corbin sighed softly and started eating as well. "Well, if it wasn't fine, then what actually happened?" He asked. "Who were you calling earlier before you left, as well?"

“… I called Lorenzo, I still needed someone as spectator if I couldn't get back up and failed the quiz.” he looked down into the bowl “ honestly cori it was brutal, dad never gave me a chance and I'm glad you didn't come, the look on you dads face and the words he said to me made me worry about What would have happened if I brought you,” he mumbled and finished off his food before setting his bowl down.

Corbin adjusted his hold on his bowl, clearly uneasy. "That's… that's awful. Tests shouldn't be that… painful. And they should have somebody other than your dad doing it so there's no bias or anything. It's not fair…" He sighed shakily and shoved more Mac and cheese into his mouth, trembling a bit. "Did papa help you, at least? What did he say?"

“ he said he’d help me find a protection spell my father wouldn’t notice that easily “

Corbin nodded a bit. "Yeah… that sounds like him. He's really good at magic, so I'm sure he'll figure out something for you."

“ I hope so, “ he said softly

Cyrus waited for corbin to put his bowl down before laying his head in him lap, looking up at corbin, his bright blue eyes gazing at the crow.

Corbin gently ran his fingers through Cyrus' hair, still looking stressed. "I'm just… worried about you. I don't like you getting hurt all the time?"

“ I'm sorry “ he said softly
