"He likes you."
Damian smiled slightly, surprised himself.
"Kuro doesn't usually trust strangers this quickly. You must have made a good impression despite the slapping."
Luna slowly reached up and touched Kuro's feathers tentatively.
The raven allowed it, even leaning slightly into her touch.
"He's beautiful. And he feels... different from the birds I see. More aware somehow."
"He is different. I'm still figuring out exactly what he is, honestly."
Brian had been watching this entire exchange with fascination.
"That's the raven everyone's been reporting about? The one that appears and disappears from shadows?"
Damian noticed how Brian seemed to have the information about Kuro. It seemed SFD's surveillance was still going on.
"That's him. He's also C- rank now, just broke through recently."
"A C- rank bonded creature… How fascinating. I haven't seen any beast forming bonds with humans at all."
