"Rogue tree came from his blind side... and the rain wasn't helping... Nor has it been..." Sophi offered as she watched the Keruv. "And Liderc and I are Exiles... I by choice."

"E-Exiles?! Wait, you mean because of the...?! And the...?! And he was...? Ohhhhh..." The look on Mic's face seemed to convey that he very much understood what had led to this moment. There was no guilt evident, but there was definitely a great deal of empathy.
After mulling over that unfortunate set of circumstances, Mic looked up at Sophi with a small, encouraging grin. "Well... that's not so bad, is it? You're both still alive! Got a chance to start fresh, strike out on your own, make a mark on the world and prove yourselves to the ones who wronged ya! Nothing wrong with that! Heck, maybe we could help each other! I'm actually here on a mission to-!"
He suddenly slapped himself in the face and took on a serious expression. "Probably should wait to talk that over until AFTER Liderc's patched up." His smile just as quickly returned. "AND I HAVE JUST THE THING!"
Brimming with excitement, Mic reached inside one of his jacket's inner pockets and whipped out what looked like a steampunk cross between a smartphone and a meat thermometer. "I FIXED UP THE EXGENERATOR! This bad boy should fix that wing right up in no time!"

"I, uh..." Percy glanced between Sophi, Mic, and the device in Mic's hand, utterly baffled. "I... don't know what that is, or what you're talking about, or why two of you are exiles."
The angel on Percy's back made a weird sound. "But what I do know is that this guy needs some help." Turning around, he slowly set Liderc down, making sure not to touch the open fracture. "So, uh, Sophi? Is this thing safe? Would... would it be okay if he applied it to... Liderc? Is that how you say it?"

"As long as I am 500 wingbeats away from it, he can use it," Sophi offered as she opened her wings once more. "And Mic... do not repeat what happened last time. We can't call someone to degoop Liderc this time." Her face and tone were even and very serious.

"Oh, certainly!" Mic nodded to Percy and Sophi, understanding completely where they both were coming from. Granted, despite the urgency of the situation, he was clearly very excited to give his invention a test run.
After turning a few dials on the exgenerator, the little yellow angel pointed the needle atop the device at Liderc. "No worries, sir. This won't hurt a bit."
He pushed a button. The device emitted a low hum.
KRA-POOF
"DAH!!!"
Mic jumped when the exgenerator promptly shattered in a burst of sparks and smoke. He then dropped to his knees and scrambled to pick up the scattered pieces. "I CAN FIX THAT! I CAN FIX IT, I SWEAR! DOGGONED DOOFERS, I THOUGHT I FIXED THAT...!"
After gathering the miscellaneous pieces and parts, Mic cast the scrap pile in his hands an awkward look, then he looked up and offered Percy a nervous grin. "Okay, what was your plan?"

"... Is..." Percy looked at Sophi. "That normal for him? Just asking. And dare I ask what happened last time?"
The brunette hoisted Liderc onto his back, securing the angel's arms. After making sure his passenger wouldn't fall, Percy looked at Sophi and Mic. "We're gonna take him to some angel friends of mine that own a bar in the city. I don't know how to care for an angel, so... who'd know more about angels than an angel, right?" He shot Mic a somewhat awkward grin. "Though, according to Sophi, Liderc hasn't gotten along with them in ages... But it's worth a shot, yeah? You wanna tag along too?"

"For Mic... yes. And better I not tell," Sophi replied as she watched the three. "It would be nice to have another familiar face... even if you do work for Bennu." Her tone was teasing as she shivered.

"Well, that checks out..." Mic murmured (read: spoke at a normal volume) as Percy explained his original course of action, the little yellow angel stuffing the scraps of his broken invention into his jacket's inner pockets all the while. "Yeah, I could come with, absolutely! Can't hurt to exchange some information while we're overseeing the Keruv's recovery! And also get my inventions out of the rain and such... So, uh, yeah! Lead the way!"

"Alright, if we're all on board, then let's... go!"
Keeping Liderc secured on his back, Percy lead the way out of the woods, having guestimated the rough path from the skies above. The weight of the angel didn't seem to be terribly bothering him, so much as Imago's voice, taunting him. Rescuing an angel? Are we in touch with your distant ancestor now?
"If I can save someone, I'm not gonna think about race... Human, pelt, angel, demon," Percy mumbled. Still... he couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. He could hear Imago sighing.
By Odin's one eye, what have I gotten myself into?
