Aldrich Killian and His Daemon

MCU daemon!AU art.

Blurb about Aldrich Killian and his Great Grey Owl daemon, Istar:
Istar is a Babylonian name meaning "star"

She perched upon his shoulder, silent as always, ever watchful. It wasn't until Tony Stark walked into the room that she moved. The subtle shift of her body weight, the soft brush of her feathers against the side of his neck and face, drew his gaze into following hers.

"He's...different," Istar whispered as they watched Stark, watched his tiny bird daemon, and even he saw that this was not the same man they had met years ago but, to him at least, it didn't matter. Tony Stark was still the same piece of crap he'd always been. Aldrich wouldn't forget that.

Istar, sensing the spike in his rage, moved then, rubbing her head against his cheek. "Patience," she cooed to him, watching as Stark's daemon flittered about him in a blur of color. "We must have patience, Al."

He nodded, sipping his champagne, watching, just as Istar did. They could be patient. They had been patient for years. A few more days would make little difference.
