"So what was goin' on last night?" Those were the words the Cardinals rusher in particular had let out. It was current dark outside somewhere in the Rusherz Quarters, and both bird-like creatures were in the dining room, all two of them consuming whatever another rusher in particular had cooked earlier. It was cooked salmon for dinner tonight - Scavenger's personal favorite. Peck however had lost count on how many times he had asked the same question over and over again the following night earlier, and he - of course - was very confused on what happened with the Ravens rusher yesterday evening. "Like when I was about to take a shower, all I've been hearin' was nothin' but strange noises comin' out from you. Are ya' sure you're not sick or anything?"This however made Scavenger drop his fork onto the table and remain frozen in place. Normally he wouldn't answer such an embarrassing question like this, and he would usually try and change the subject, but the Cardinals rusher himself was way more intelligent than the others, and he knows everything. He's got the brains, he's got the non-existent ears of a dog, and last but not least the eyes of a falcon despite being a pure-red cardinal. Peck is the smartest and most alert rusher of the group, and he's got everything he needs in order to protect Scavenger. The cardinal expected Scavenger's hobbies to be all sunshine and rainbows especially during the offseason - and of course expecting him to at least play football with his friends or write poems on his notebook - but on this night in particular it had changed a bit differently, and it's not about lashing out with other rusherz around the lobby or fighting with blitz bots. Instead it was something else, and judging the strange noises that were coming straight out of the raven's bedroom, this led Peck to some serious investigation, and his mind continued to process what happened last night. He although refused to say anything else at this rate, but it wasn't until that particular night when Grizzly had finished cooking up a filet of salmon for dinner, Scavenger was then met with a confused stare - not from the orange bear but from the actual Cardinal's rusher himself.Grizzly however managed to sleep off the noises so he wasn't able to process what happened with Scavenger last night, although the way this indigo raven was acting earlier did make him a bit confused, and he wasn't so sure why or what happened."W-What are you even talkin' about?" Scavenger meekly replied to Peck, still being met with a confused glare from the pure-red cardinal. "I don't remember letting out those strange noises.""Well, last night," Peck started before he cleared his throat. "I was mere seconds when I was about to take a shower because my feathers have been gettin' dirty--" He then popped a chunk of cooked salmon in his mouth, now proceeding to chew before he could finish talking. Peck then swallowed the salmon chunk and opened his mouth to finish his sentence. "--And all of a sudden - when I first approached the door to the bathroom, I heard those strange noises comin' out of ya'."At first glance Scavenger couldn't process on what happened last night, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his cardinal friend, so all he could do at this point was to lie in order to change the subject."W-Well, I was just..reorganizing some stuff in my room.." Scavenger lied, yet Peck wasn't fooled. This cardinal still has to find a way for what happened with his raven buddy the following evening. "Those noises..well, it's just me havin' trouble--""But it didn't sound like you're movin' stuff around." Peck cuts him off as he sets his fork down. "Last time I checked, I didn't hear a single bedframe scratch the floor or a trophy being placed on sight."Scavenger remained frozen in his spot, and sweat beads started to form across his forehead under his helmet. Judging by the look on the raven's face, Peck can clearly tell he is already lying to him.And it was at that very moment where the raven's eyes would shrink like beads upon hearing the cardinal's sudden sentence that came from the top of his lungs. "At first it sounded like you were sobbin your lungs out, but as I got a bit closer," Scavenger's heart started to race. His limbs started to quiver out of fear, and he was already bracing himself for the worst. "I'm hearin' something like 'ooOOaah! K-Keep fuckin' me!' A-And I got really confused--""Are you sure you're not just dreamin', Peck?" Scavenger muttered sheepishly.Peck gave himself an irritated sigh as he popped another salmon chunk in his mouth. Chewing and swallowing the second salmon piece, Peck then opened his mouth to reply back. "I've also heard somethin' like...y'know, a weird...white..human stick thing that's all jiggly and--""I-I'm sure you're makin' that up.""No, Scavenger. I'm being serious." Peck then sets his fork down as he cuts the Ravens rusher off. "Besides...what's a dildo anyway?"Right when Scavenger pulled the glass towards his lips and began sipping on his water glass, the Ravens rusher lets out a muffled squeak out of embarrassment and it caused him to spit his drink out, causing it to splatter all over the floor. Both birds were very lucky their food hadn't been ruined by the water the rusher had spat out, although it was the most awkward thing Scavenger in particular had heard of in a long while."Uh-- Can we go see a movie tonight?""I kept on hearin' things like 'OoAAHH-- Finish inside me!--' like when rusherz say whenever they're in the mood or about to--" Just when Peck was about to finish his sentence, Scavenger lunged forward and slammed a finger right across the cardinal's beak, shushing him."Five gems.." Scavenger coldly replied. "I'll give you five gems if you never mention this again.."After hearing those words, Peck grew a determined smile on his beak and pushed the Ravens rusher off. "Ten. Make that ten.."Letting out an irritated sigh, Scavenger sharply replied back, "Deal. Ten gems.."
