The falcon turned around and bit the other guy.
It grabbed the man's shirt with its claws.

The woman broke out laughing as the guys backed off in confusion and fear of also being attacked. The one currently getting attacked ran into a pole, knocking himself out. "Holy sh*t! I love that bird."
-
The falcon landed in front of him. Within a few seconds, the bird had shifted into a guy. He was only a few shades more tan than Michael Jackson post-bleach. He had sandy blonde hair and ice blue eyes. He looked young, looking only 17 or so. The armor he wore was sleek, had gew areas of plating, had an unfamiliar insignia on it. He wore a maroon, chestplate that didn't look that thick, and covered his upper chest to his abdomen. He wore small shoulder plating, and knee plating. Small gauntlets. His undersuit was a deep green and grey. Most importantly, he wore a cape with a hood. The hood was made out of wolfskin, along with the rest of the cape. "You're welcome," he said.

"Why thank you, shape-shifter." She jokingly bowed in an overly dramatic manner. "The name's Star."
-
"Fabio," he replied. "Yes, I am a shapeshifter."
-
"Kinda obvious from the changing from an eagle to a human just now...." She shrugged. "Do you always have your armor on? I took mine off because I thought I was just going to get a drink."
-
"I was a falcon, but, whatever. Also, I don't know if I will be attacked," Fabio reasoned.
-
"I guess around here you don't. Maybe I'll just wear mine from now on, eh? I may draw some attention, but if it's to keep myself from further injury..."
-
"Why would it draw attention?" He asked, curious.
-
"It's a bit...uhh...tight and showy. Y'know...from my sporting days." Star nervously laughed. "I don't think my skill was the only reason I was the crowd favorite."
-
"It is what is," he shrugged, "Hey, at least you aren't stuck at 17 for all eternity."
-
"No, but I have a feeling you know what that's like. I slowly age compared to some people, but I'm not forever stuck at being illegal." Star couldn't help a snicker. "Not being an adult must suck. I mean, one more year, am I right?"
-
[spoiler]I f**ked up. Fabio looks 18 according to Bio. Kali's tge one tgat's firver 17.[/spoiler] "Yeah... it sucks."
-
"Well, at least you've mentally matured? Actually, I wouldn't mind being youthful forever. My best years are probably behind me already honestly."
