"Surgical operations?" Hawks blinks, a little bewildered, as his wings flutter and betray his confusion. So what, if he was rich he wouldn't have his wings? Is Bakguo of that kind of opinion? That's...really unfortunate. He's completely misunderstanding what he means.

However, he still has to play nice. "Yeah, sorry, guess I'm stuck with this kind of quirk." Hawks says with a little smile. A mutant quirk. A heteromorph. They do his best to keep him as human as possible, but still, the wings are a dead give away. Maybe if he was rich, his family would've chopped his wings off.

"Hanging up their licenses huh...yeah, I guess that's a choice they could make. Anyone could retire at any time, I guess. Good for you for sticking with it. That takes guts."
