Description LeRoy had watched his son cuddle with his mother and other father. He had watched him pouncing and playing with the servants and his uncle. The tiny rooster avoided him though. He was clearly terrified of him and that bothered the vulture. He remembered being young and being afraid of his own father. It was different though, his father had been horrible and cruel to him. LeRoy had never done anything to young Tino. He never had the chance to do anything, good or bad, when the chick just kept avoiding him.

Robert said it was his size, but he wasn't that much bigger then Robert. Still maybe the other vulture had a point. LeRoy saw his son toddle into the room and laid down on his stomach on the floor. Maybe if he lowered himself down to the rooster's level he would be less afraid. It was worth a try at least. If his son merely ran off, he'd be no worse off then he had been before.

Tino carefully approached, curious and wary as to what his bigger father was up to. LeRoy made no sudden moves and tried to look non-threatening. Slowly the rooster chick got closer and peeped curiously. LeRoy attempted a comforting coo hoping it would calm his fears. He would stay like this all day if he had to do so.

Thankfully it didn't come to that and Tino pounced onto his back, hugging him. LeRoy beamed and reached around to pick him up. He got back up off the ground and watched in amusement the look of wonder on Tino's face at his new high vantage point.

It wasn't perfect but it was progress.

Written by dear Please give her some lovin's on these

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.

LeRoy, the hatted vulture of F.O.W.L's menacing High Command, is one of the few family members (the other being Vladimir Grizlikoff) who is actually bigger than Steelbeak/Tino. His size no doubt played a part in the intimidation factor, but with time, Tino went from being scared of LeRoy, to looking up to him and making him proud.

Adorable. Again, the colouring is so good and the choice of such - brilliant. The outlining is brilliant, and the thick lines works really well here. Cute.
