((Mr. Bird isn't actually featherless or wrinkled, I feel the urge to note. Bearded vultures look like this.
That is, unless he lost all his feathers somehow, though that would raise the question of how exactly he's flying.))
The remark gives Mr. Bird pause.
Let reality have a moment to sort itself out. Am I still a bearded vulture? And if so, does that affect his reaction in any way?
In any case, return to the warbeast.
I didn't think bearded vulture, I thought normal vulture with bald head. My bad.
In that case he is impressed instead by your freaky ass eyes and little mustache. As well as your habit of eating the dead.
Returned.
Get the Engine Spirit to lift up a few boxes of food and water. Search the warbeast for anything that would fit the scarred man's request. Failing that, guestimate how many of our current 100 nails are absolutely needed for repairs, and how many we can trade away.
You deposit a good amount of the group's food and water up on the mesa before searching around for small metal rods. Unsurprisingly, the nails are the only thing that really works. As per an estimate for usage, you would guess that completely repairing everything would use up 70+ nails. But just repairing the roof would only use 20 odd nails.
((Which horn? Front, right/left back? Must know for characterization purposes!))
Pain was great for sobering up, as Dave had learned during his lifetime. He had caught the lash at least once for drunkenness on the ship. This really got his attention.
"Aaaahhhh FUCK that hurrrrts!"
Fun fact, unlike the horns of rhinos or the tusks of elephants, dinosaur bones were actually bone protrusions so breaking one would feel like snapping a femur. I could find no info on if they grow back or not.
The one on your right.
"Dave! Dave! Dave! Dave! Dave!" Sebastian chants. "Yeeeeeee HAAAAA! Pain is gain, buddy. We're on the road to greatness now!"
Sebastian attempts to convince Dave of the value of pain as an aid to growth, and believes really, really hard, that the broken horn will look 'cool.' he continues to point Dave in the direction of any audience we can locate.

...What were you doing again?
Go up to the village with the supplies the warbeast is lifting up and make a suitably intimidating first impression.

You stroll out onto the mesa, visibly smoldering and leaving a trail of smoke and cinders. You emphesize your burn scars and grin with a sense of disfigured pride.
The masked man seems very impressed.
"You are really ugly!" Ryans states the fact in his charmingly innocent manner. "Do you have any hearts I can eat?"
Being abrasive child. Offer the arm in my quantum pockets in echange if need for such arises. Not including the watch.
"As are you, child of bladed fingers. " The man says, with a strange warmth and affection. "And no, I am afraid I do not."
Begin patching holes in the platform with the hammer and nails. Give Yoink the axe if he wants to chop/hew more wood.
Start helping the others with repairing the platform.
You get the roof patched, using 18 nails.
