Prompt 175
Talon -William Cobb, that was his name once, he remembers that much at least- stares down blankly at the small child who is clinging to its -his His HIS- pant leg, tiny claws digging into the cloth and gripping onto the armor. It he freezes, unsure as to how to react. With Hunts or Orders, the talon knew exactly what to do. Entertain. Kill. Simple.
Talons were supposed to kill witnesses, he- IT knows this, especially as one of the oldest talons that belonged to the Court. Yet the talon hesitates, something stopping it from doing so. The child looks up at it, something oh so familiar about the motion, with blue-green eyes before burying their face against its- his?- leg.
“'̵m̸ ̵c̴o̷l̵d̸…” the child-chick… spoke? Not-spoke. Something else, familiar-yet-not. But cold, he knew that. Cold was bad, it meant sleep, not rest but a deep frozen sleep that took time to awaken from. A dangerous thing. A thing not-talons didn’t wake up from.
The chick -Hadn’t he had a child once, all that time ago- whined, bringing its-his attention back to them. Talon could wait to return to the Court for a few hours more- the task it had been given was already complete-and keep the Cold away from the tiny chick. Just for a little bit.

something I love about Benoit Blanc is that we actually get a genuinely new character. like yes he's inspired by classic detective tropes and I'm sure people who know much more about Poirot and Sherlock and Marple can deconstruct that far better than I could. but he's his own character with a clear personality that actually makes sense (looking at you Moffat with your 'collection of things that seem like they should be cool but aren't coherent' Sherlock) and we've been given some nice bits and pieces to play with for potential backstory (husband, friends, interests)
what makes me happy is that he's not a reboot or a remake or an adaptation, he's Benoit Blanc and he's awesome
