Dad? Techno thanked whatever luck he had that Phil hadn't been forced to watch him turn into a hoglin because he was sure Phil would have the same angry worried and nervous feelings in his stomach.
The crow's head swerved at him and let out an ear-shattering CAW! Before taking off into the air.
DAD! PHIL! WAIT IT'S ME- damn it! Techno saw that Phil's flying was a bit off which must mean he still had an arrow lodged in his wing so he wouldn't be able to fly for long. He grimaced at the thought of Phil being hurt being useful. Techno blew a sharp whistle and nightrider bolted over. Techno quickly climbed on and chased after Phil.
~(After roughly an hour)~
Techno had been chasing Phil for almost an hour before Phil finally decided to land. Luckily that hour had given Techno plenty of time to think about how to approach Phil. Back when Phil was transforming his hat had fallen off and Techno had grabbed it so that might help Techno get close. Techno stopped a good 15 feet away and tied nightrider to a tree. Techno pulled Phil's hat out of Phil's bag which he had also grabbed. He slowly approached where Phil was. He was sitting in a small clearing pulling at the arrow with his beak trying to get it out of his wing. Techno slowly came closer.
Phil? Techno said gently.
The crow's head swerved at Techno and he prepared to take off.
Whoa whoa whoa, I just wanna help. Techno said gently, carefully moving to the wing.
Phil was still eyeing him carefully. Techno gently moved the hat towards him. Phil looked at it curiously and used his beak to smell it and shake it around. Techno moved toward the wing and examined the damage. The arrow had just missed the bone but luckily was loose enough to be pulled out if Techno cut the arrow. Techno looked back at Phil who was happily playing with his hat. It made Techno smile a bit but Techno knew he had to take advantage of Phil not paying attention. Techno pulled out a small hunting knife and cut the back part of the arrow off, now the hard part. Techno slowly grabbed the wood near the top of the arrow. Phil still had yet to notice as he was trying to eat his hat. Techno grimace and prepared to be thrown back. Techno pulled the arrow out quickly and as straight as he could, it quickly came out and The crow quickly noticed. The crow violently smashed Techno to the ground with its wing and jumped to the far side of the small clearing and began to examine its wing. Techno just kinda laid there for a second.
You're making this very difficult Phil. Techno thought with a small frown.
The crow quickly realized the arrow was gone and gave its wing a few good flaps and noticed it didn't hurt as much to fly anymore. The crow quickly thought about flying off and forgetting it saw this human but he didn't. He felt that strange need to protect this pink human. Techno watched as Phil came back over he honestly expected to be attacked a bit but was shocked when he laid a wing over him. Techno looked at Phil and The crow looked back before pecking Techno's head back under his wing.
Ow. Techno said rubbing his head lightly.
He sighed, at least Phil wasn't trying to fly away. But he still had to find a way to fix Phil. And so help him if he wouldn't tear the world apart looking. But first thing first he needed to get home, he didn't need his brother's help or anything but he didn't trust them and their little gremlins not to burn down the house.
Maybe you'll remember more if you see everyone else. Techno mused while running his fingers along Phil's strong feathery body.
Might as well catch some sleep. Techno muttered as he drifted asleep.
The crow watched as the pink human fell asleep against him.
Since he's asleep I can check him out now. The crow thought leaning his head under his wing and looking closely at Techno.
He had pink skin, 2 pointed ears, long pink hair in a braid, a gold crown, which was very tempting to take, a sword strapped to his waist, and a knife on his thigh. The crow had a feeling that this was an individual that people feared and respected but he felt neither, he felt overpowering love.
Look at my little boy, he's so big now. The crow thought wrapping himself around his son.
It took almost a full minute before the crow caught himself.
This isn't my son, I'm a crow this can't be my child why am I thinking like this? The crow was very confused.
He felt like thinking that he had betrayed himself but he didn't understand WHY he felt like he betrayed himself. The crow thought for a minute.
He called me Phil, maybe I do know him and just forgot. The crow thought for a minute.
I like Phil, guess I'm Phil now. Phil thought pleased with himself.
Phil let himself drift to sleep with his head in Techno's lap.
