Summary:
Lambert and Aiden are on a hunt together. Lambert gets sliced up by a cockatrice and Aiden patches him up. Uncomfortable conversations are had, and unexpected feelings are revealed.
Excerpt:
“A little bestiary fact for you, Aiden—do you know why they’re called cockatrices? Because the guy who discovered them called them cocksuckers and someone made a mistake while transcribing it—”
“You say that every single time we take down a cockatrice, Lamb, and it wasn’t funny the first time,” Aiden told him, only half listening to him.
