Your wing- what happened to it?

So. Straight to the heart of the matter on turn one, huh? Zero's grin faltered but did not break, though inside he was reeling from the directness of the unicorn's words, and the way his red eyes roamed across the barren side like sharks circling their prey. Of course he asked about this, of course- it was what everyone noticed, everyone asked. The first thing they ever saw when they looked at him was that big empty patch of metal that glared so angrily in any amount of light.

So Zero just had to make sure the second impression was the one that stuck.

The grin faltered but did not fall from Zero's inky lips. It helped that the other boy was smiling at him, and it helped that caught up again and was sitting obediently at the boy's hocks. He pulled himself up higher (or tried- there really wasn't much more up for him to go), doing his best to muster up the best impression of Ma's good-natured firecrackery and echo it for these boys. "I dunno," he answered glibly, glaring defiantly back at the red-eyed colt, "But it doesn't stop me from bein' awesome!" And then, in a stroke of either genius or idiocy, he added boldly, "How 'bout you? What makes you awesome?"

Amazingly, his plan seemed to be working, because now the boy was staring at Squishy, who was definitely evidence of Zero's awesome skills. "That's Squishy!" the grinned loudly and eagerly, happy to have attention shift away from him and toward his brilliant creation. "Squishy, come say hi! Careful, though, he'll zap ya if y'make him mad."

Squishy wobbled forward obediently, his emerald eyes staring at Erebos and Ode with an expression akin, Zero thought, to abject despondency. Squishy hated saying hi.

With the golem acting as a buffer between Zero and the bigger colts, the lightning-backed boy felt significantly braver, his earlier trepidation all but lost. He turned to Erebos, finally free from the transfixing gaze of the very intense Öde, bright voice cutting into the air again. "Where're y'from? Didja see the big monsters? Did you help fight 'em? I did! D'ya think they'll come back?"

The questions came in a breathless rush, without pause. Zero was excited, and when he got excited he got curious, and when he got curious he talked. He wanted to both show off and learn more, to demonstrate his awesomeness while taking in theirs, which he was confident they had.

Everyone was awesome, after all.
Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you're part of a team!
