"Look at this, Lily." Brenna said, pointing out the magazine article to her fellow talon. "It says skinny guys are well-endowed."
The dark-haired woman looked up and gave her a pointed stare.
"And your point is, exactly?"
"I was wondering if it's also true about skinny raptors."
Her friend looked at her before bursting out laughing. The recent arrivals had fascinated several of the female contingent on Cyclonia. They hardly ever got to leave Cyclonia so non-humans were something rarely seen making the raptors, well two of them anyway, exotic and therefore appealing to quite a few of female Talons, and some of the males too. The raptors had only been on Cyclonia for a few days so they only knew the name of two of them, Repton, or Raptor Hottie Number One as he was also known, though they would never say it in front of his face owing to the fact that he did not seem to have that pleasant a disposition, and Lugey because they had heard Repton yelling at him. The other two were christened Raptor Hottie Number Two and Boozy because he had what appeared to be a beer gut though the Talons were uncertain if Raptors even consumed alcohol.
The two women then went into a detailed discussion of what exactly they would like Raptor Hottie Number Two to do to them only to be silenced by a sudden *Ahem* behind them.
They turned and were mortified to find the object of their discussion sitting at the table behind them, casually eating a piece of meat. The red-haired Talon blushed scarlet.
"Nexth time you dithcuth your thexual fantashieth in public, maybe you thould make thure that the perthon you're talking about ith not thitting behind you" the Raptor said, slowly.
"We're so sorry we offended you" Lily said, barely able to look the Raptor in the eyes.
"I'm not offended, though I don't think a threethome with Repton will happen anytime thoon," the Raptor said as Brenna gave an embarrassed laugh. "You're more than welcome to come back to my quarterth and try out some of thothe other thuggestions, ladieth…"
Author's note: Yeah, I read an entry in Glamour magazine where a reader said a friend told her that skinny guys are big and she found this out for herself when she dated a skinny guy and I immediately thought of Spitz. Months ago, I got the idea that Spitz was a bit of a player as far as the Raptors go and probably has the most active personal life out of the four. This takes place in the same timeline as "All Good Things Must Come to an End" only set shortly after 'Age of Heroes' rather than eighteen years later.
