A/N: Double drabble. Set in my Were-Crow ‘Verse.
Ianto-crow took to the wing with a caw of delight, soaring up into the sky on the brisk spring breeze. After weeks of cold, wet, dismal weather, it was good to have an opportunity to stretch his wings without getting drenched or frozen. Sometimes, he had to wonder how wild crows coped with the inclement winter weather. In subzero temperatures, heavy rain, snow, sleet, and hail, Ianto preferred to spend his time indoors as much as possible, usually in human form so he could drink hot coffee and catch up with the filing.
He still made time to be a crow, soaring around the upper reaches of the Hub, playing tag with Myfanwy, who enjoyed having someone to fly with, but as much fun as that was, it wasn’t the same as being out in the open air, with the sun shining, and the wind ruffling his feathers.
He swooped low across the Plas, scaring the pigeons, then spiralled upwards, scanning the city with his crow vision, listening intently, drawing the air in through his nostrils, separating out the various smells.
Orienting himself, he flapped steadily across the city. There was nowhere Jack could hide that Ianto couldn’t find him.
The End
