living skyward

Waylon, for all his faults, is not the dumb slab of muscle most pass him off to be-- and even then, he can smell Yukio's fear. The kid will see his hiding spot literally torn apart, broken in two with one swing of Croc's claws. He reaches into the wreckage, uncaring this time whether he hurts Yukio in his search to pull him from the splintered wood.

"You just made this way harder for yourself, kid."

Of course, the worst that'll happen to Yukio is a snapped neck. Croc's not in the mood to torture his snacks.
