BIO: !Hola¡ Soy Héctor. Yo hablo español y un poco inglés. I've come to Daybreak to learn a little about all this magic stuff and help out around the Campus. If you need an odd job taken care of, I'm your guy! (Unless you are la policía. Or someone I have borrowed from. If that is the case, do not contact me, por favor.)

[At Héctor's look, Imelda shrugs and then waves off Tobias's concern with her hand.]

Anyone can learn how to sing.

It's practice, mostly. The same way you learn how to talk--by mimicking what you hear. No one taught you how to hum, but you did that just now, didn't you?

[hawkwardness]

I didn't learn to speak English. It was all dumped into my head one day.

[Bitter? Him? Yes, and it shows. It's just not quite for the reason they might assume. He's such a freak. Can't be human, can't be a real hawk, can't belong anywhere.

He looks back at the water, face blank and... begins to hum again.]

[The bitter notes make him frown. He's not sure what's got Tobias riled, but he says anyway;]

Okay, magic language, but she's still got a point. It's like flapping your wings.

[When the hum comes back, he eases, smile returning. Give a moment and his eyes close and he starts to hum too, making a harmony of it.]
