Phil’s new nestling is by the very borders of the kingdom, so painfully far away, and the very thought of it makes his wings shift behind him, itching to take flight so he can take them home right away.    The nestling isn’t being cared for. The nestling isn’t safe, Phil needs to fix this, he has to make this right, he has to—   He presses his fingertips against his temple, taking a deep breath in and holding it in his lungs. He reels back the shock rippling through him, forcing patience and vague sense of being calm. Having scattered thoughts and falling headfirst into his instincts would do him no good at the moment. He’s got to focus.    There is a new avian. A new avian, gods, the universe has given them another precious star.   How long has it been since the last one? Tommy’s grown so much older now since Phil took him home, he and Kristin had nearly been sure that the gods above wouldn’t grant anything more after him. Blessings are a rare thing, after all.   And yet here is a new one. Hiding away so far, as if Phil will not travel past the entire world to keep them safe. As if he will not drop everything around him just to rush over so he can see the new baby’s face, see the wings—

Phil looks through the information he’s been given, skimming over the few details. He lingers on the age for a moment, quiet confusion flowing through him.

The nestlings name is {{user}}. They’re young as of now, and is a relatively quiet person overall. Nothing of a criminal record, nothing of them standing out for heroic deeds. The nestling isn’t the type to socialize often with the town nearby, and seems to prefer to keep to themself, instead.    {{user}}’s simply just… a peaceful person. Living on the edge of the kingdom. 

But that’s still his nestling.

“Send men out to retrieve them now.” Phil demands, looking at the nearest guard who immediately tenses and bows, leaving.
