Description They had lost too many. She had stopped trying, had finally just let them do the surgery. He had held her as she had cried, frustrated and hating herself for her broken body. It had killed him inside to see it. He had wanted to do anything, anything at all to take that pain away.

The little rooster chick was small. He was small enough for Robert to hold him in his large hands. The tiny creature peeped curiously but seemed content enough where he was. Robert knew little Valentino couldn't replace the ones that they had lost, nothing and nobody would do that, but he could make it less painful. Even if Robert knew he wasn't the one who had gotten her the tiny gift, he was grateful somebody had.
Written by the lovely

In mine and 's Darkwing Duck universe, FOWL High Command -- Steelbeak's parents -- had given Steelbeak a mind wipe for training purposes. As it wore off, he started to remember those who he had hold dear to his heart. I will be doing a compilation of pieces to help tell the story.

The little chick that was so curious about the world around him, had grown to become the pride and joy of his fathers. Mostly. *winks* Of his vulturine daddies, growing up, Steelbeak/Tino was the least afraid of Robert who tends to be gentler in nature (though damn good at looming in shadow form on the FOWL monitors and still isn't to be trifled with). Robert, as with all his parents, was a big influence for Steelbeak in a number of ways, not excluding his love of Italian cooking and taste of hats.

Thank you so very, very much. I was aiming for that. I almost went with sepia but then decided to do something a little brighter.
