Ky wakes up and attacks shadow as egg about to be stolen, waking Scra
S:what the f- ky! What’s going on - who’s that-
Ky pinned shadow, their hood falling off to reveal a young man with black wings. Ree and farrah burst in.
R: why’re you yelling, what’s happening- ky you’re - who the flock is that -
S: a crow?
F: no. The primaries are wrong
K: raven
Raven: dyou mind removing yourself from my person, osprey? You’re heavy as shit
S: not until you explain why you’re here… or even how you’re here. Aren’t you meant to be banished??
Raven: ha! Banished, right. I came for that (nods to egg)
S: what do you want with it
Raven: give it to me and I will show you
R: unlikely -
Raven: you found it in a cuckoo tree, correct? It was placed there on purpose
R:of course it was, that’s the whole point of those trees -
Raven: on purpose, for someone to pick up later
S: it was freezing that night, any later and the chick would’ve died-
raven: no, it wouldn’t have. hand it over.
S:...what will you do with it?
Raven: take it back to its people, obviously.
ky: scra -
r: how’d you even find us, anyway?
raven turns to scra
Raven: there were rumours that the council had acquired a Raven egg from somewhere and followed the trail here. that song you were singing, I heard it and found this room. How do you know it
S: s-song?
K: you sing in your sleep, I told you
S: I remember but i don’t know what -
F: I’ve heard you sing it too. But when you do… it’s not in your own voice.
R:…crows are good mimics, right? We’ve seen you do it before, with those phone calls with reamers phone -
K: you must’ve heard it from somewhere and remembered subconsciously
Raven: it’s not possible. That song is a Raven lullaby, unknown to outsiders
S: then how do I know it
Everyone’s quiet
Raven: give me the egg, or we’ll have no choice but to come and take it from you.
S: I’m coming with you
K: Scra -
S: I have to make sure it gets there safely -
Raven quickly flings a small knife at the egg in Scras hands, shattering it. Scra in shock
Raven: it’s not a real egg
S: (about to throw up, looks at shell pieces on ground seeing only scattered tech provisions wrapped in a bundle, staggers back, ky leaps up to catch him, freeing Raven)
Raven brushing himself off picks up bundle and about to leave
R: I think the fuck not - (slams Raven to wall, hands behind back)
Raven: really? I’ve retrieved what I needed to, we are done here
R: please, like we’re gonna let someone who snuck into our house just go, let alone a raven-
farrah takes the bundle and unwraps, finding tech.
F: it’s…tech. advanced. more advanced that what’s readily available around here. where -
Raven: like i’ll tell -
F: do you have more of it? communicators, even -
R: farrah -
F: if i give this back to you…will you take me with you?
r: farrah -
S: i’m going too
Ky: scra, be serious -
f: you can’t just leave, Scra. You’ve been sentenced to house arrest, even Lord Eldwode won’t be able to get the Council to be lenient a second time.
S: but it’s alright for you to go?
F: no, but i have promises to keep and this will speed them up, and nothing here but living under someones thumb. there are people who need me.
raven: i still havent agreed to -
S: Lord e showed me an entire room dedicated to his family tree, dating back centuries. it’s never really bothered me before…well, it has…but I don’t know anything about myself. I don’t even know my real flock name. if this song is a chance to find out anything about my past…i have to take it. I don’t have a family like the rest of you. I…I’ve always been…alone.
(Ky doesnt look at him. ree looks conflicted. scra looks at broken shell)
S: Lord Eldwode’s planning on leaving the Capitol…and taking Ky and I with him. We won’t see each other again for Icarus-knows how long. I’m going. I can’t live caged up like this for the next five years, at the whims of the government, pretending to be someone im not, and not knowing who i actually am.
R:(looks at farrah)...well, i for one am already bored as shit running errands and planning another winter solstice event here…I’m in.
K: im coming
S: ky, you managed to get out of one punishment, your mother -
K: won’t help get keelee back. if farrah can get the communicators working, and we can get ahold of anyone on Kooup who might know where she is, that’s something -
S: (to raven, intense) will you take us with you, in exchange for this (gestures at tech)
Raven: (looks at him and shrugs) it’s worse for me if I don’t return with it. it’s not my fault what the others decide to do with you if you tag along. be prepared to not make it out of there.
(everyone looking determined) we’re going.

I cannot with all these twist and turns. Like don’t get me wrong it’s good very good but like ky and keelee every get to see each other. Is like season one of supernatural looking for John but never finding the man. AND WORSE we are on season three/four? Give the boys back their baby (keelee not the eggie)
