[ Oh. Sounds like it actually is on his behalf. On his emotional behalf, even. How very nice of you, Byerly. ]
I think if I did actually see him as a bird with broken wings, he would have punched me in the face by now.
[ Not that he's quite immune from that, though. He's drawn to damage, he's drawn to broken, he'd admitted that to Miles himself and even if he's never said it to Byerly he wouldn't be surprised if that tendency was obvious, to him. Some of it's out of a desire to help, some of it's out of an ugly, deeply buried but nonetheless present desire to break, and the rest of it is mostly just. Finding someone like him. ]
Still. If he's as much of a predator as you say [ so not agreeing with Byerly's assessment, but not disagreeing, either ] those tendencies of mine are keeping me safe from it, if anything.
