It doesn ‘ t know what to think , not what to say . even if Masky was lying , it genuinely forgot that that was a thing that could happen .
Coo .
No way . Nooo way . Surely it would ‘ ve been able to tell when Tim was around .
“ really ? “
It ‘ s last few hours of clarity and it ‘ s being used for this . Cruel , cruel .
Whimper . Not because of the subject matter — their arm hurts .
“ wh . “ it puts together both what Masky is saying and … recent memories . Red crawling up it ‘ s neck , “ oh . Oh . “
owwie ! ow ! biting all over !
all things considered , could be worse .
it doesn ‘ t really ‘ get ‘ what Masky is saying , though . Masky ‘ s not a baby either , though the image makes him chuckle .
“ bad for the baby ? You?”
it shakes its head . NOT a baby . capable of murder and just chose not to commit it .
it ‘ s good hand rubs it ‘ s side . Rude biter .
What WAS it trying to accomplish ? Maybe just not being lonely , as stupid as it was .
“ missed me .”

after many a get togethers with masky proving the exact same result . More bruises , scratches , bites ... feisty masky .
Careful masky , you don ' t know whee that thing has been .
" owwh . wah ."
if the birds saw Masky they ' d probably swarm him given everything . it would take a while to get that trust back . and Crow wasn ' t going to risk losing their trust for himself by forcing it ..
Crow winces as if they should be surprised by this by now ,
++
maybe they ' re hiding somewhere in the dark . maybe they ' re afraid after seeing what Masky did .
hard to say , and Crow didn ' t seem to plan on telling .
a handful of empty pill bottles littered the nest . Friend Tim ' s . long gone by now .
tim certainly patched it up . as for who inflicted it …
well . well .
luckily , they ‘ re alone . no others . not even any birds .
it uses its good arm to throw a blanket over the both of them .
