Poe had tried to stop her, but she refused to listen. Magica took his amulet, let herself get worked up. A single spell reflected back; Poe took the hit, turning into a Raven. Though she tried to give him back his Amulet, he had been scored, betrayed. With a caw, a bit of acting, he flew towards the broken window, and left. He didn’t need the Amulet for magic, having it flow through his veins, it merely strengthened him. He had become reliant though, so now, any spell would drain him.

But Poe had no choice. He flew, and flew, as far as he could, until his wings burned and exhaustion took him over. Poe had no choice but to land, in front of a large, white building with a large blue ‘W’ on it. He had no choice but to hope someone was inside.

Using whatever energy he had, Poe used the tiny bit of magic he could muster to turn himself back to normal. Green scale pale, eyes sunken in, Poe collapsed onto his hands and knees. Feathers flattened, beak open as he pants, Poe collapses onto the floor completely. He has no choice but to hope someone opens the door and finds him; even if he’s indebted for life, he’d deal with it, as long as he gets help.

Another day of boring work, nothing too exciting happening aside from that. Honestly, Mark loves his company, but just staying in his office & trying to attend meetings & actually LISTEN to people, it was all just getting, well, blegh to him. Maybe he just needed a small vacation? Huh. Now that he thought about it, it didn't sound all too bad. & Besides, this could be the perfect time to use his vacation home!

Yeah, okay. He just needed to set a couple of weeks aside & let his secretary take charge while he was away. He trusted her, so everything should work out. 

Stopping his paper work, Mark pushes himself away from his desk. He exits his office with a wide grin, "Vacay time, party people ! " Just as quick as that phrase is uttered, he could hear cheers from his employees. "Not for YOU, for ME ! " & he's smirking as he hears various groans. "There we go~ " 

Now that he's got things sorted out, he makes his way outside, pausing only to get his phone out. Although, something else manages to catch his eye upon doing so, small frown tugging at his beak as he inches cautiously closer towards the fallen ——— person? 

                                         Weird. What exactly happened? 

Approaching the passed out duck, cerulean blue hues carefully look them over. They don't look contagious or anything, which is good. Because if they did, Mark REFUSED to touch them. Glancing around & seeing no one else looking their way, he sighs, putting his phone away before gently picking the stranger up. Which, was surprisingly easy to do. "Yeesh, guy, don't you eat anything ? " He tries to joke light heartedly while carrying him back to his car. "You're lucky I'm being generous & letting you stay with me, you ... " 

He pauses again upon placing them in the backseat of his car & making sure they were securely fastened. It was then when he actually takes a good look at them. " ... handsome stranger ... " Hand cups the duck's face, thumb stroking their skin & for a moment Mark forgets himself, freezing halfway at leaning barely inches from the stranger's face. Warmth spreading across his cheeks, he hastily pulls back & climbs into the driver's seat. 

                   "I swear, if you're pulling a trick or spell on me. I'm watching you."
