"You'll always be an angel, even if your appearance changes...As for flying...well...There's only one way to find out."

"........as much as I /want/ to jump off the roof....I don't think that's what you mean."

"There's also a fire escape. It's not fatal if you fall from that. Painful, but not fatal."

2016-01-16 05:58:14

🌀

"...should I?"

2016-01-16 05:58:47

●

"...Do you want to?"

2016-01-16 05:59:33

🌀

"I haven't flown in a long time...."

●

She took his hand. "Then it's better late than never."

I followed her up to the fire escape outside her old room. Kinsley had poked his head out and was staring at me with wide eyes. ....I shot him a glare that he didn't understand. I climbed out the window onto the fire escape, and into the warm summer air. My wings were just as sensitive as they'd always been, and the tatters of the slits in the back of my shirt flapped against them, making me shudder, so I simply pulled it off.

Once they were on the fire escape, she turned to face him. /Oh./ She didn't notice the muscularity until now. "Ready?" She asked him.

2016-01-16 06:07:39

🌀

The what? I glanced down again. ....those weren't there before. I don't think. "Yes, I think so." I reached out and squeezed her hand.

●

She returned the grip for a moment before she let go, and stepped to the side for him to jump.

2016-01-16 06:09:49

🌀

I took a deep breath...and stepped off the fire escape, squeezing my eyes shut and spreading my wings. I shot up as usual, much to my relief. It felt different, the air more direct on my skin without feathers to get in the way, and these wings were lighter as well. Strange.... After I steadied myself, I glanced downward.

●

She looked up at him once he was in the air. "See? Not so bad."

2016-01-16 06:15:00

🌀

If they're lighter...does that mean I can carry more weight? I dove and lifted her up.

2016-01-16 06:15:48

●

Due to her smallness, it was almost as if picking up a small child. She let out a yelp in surprise, not expecting to be lifted.

2016-01-16 06:17:06

🌀

I rested her on my knee until I could get a good grip, holding her against my chest, and shot back up, over the rooftops.

2016-01-16 06:17:56

●

"You sure you can carry me?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

2016-01-16 06:19:37

🌀

"Decently. Lance can, why shouldn't I?" I called over the wind.

2016-01-16 06:20:48

●

"...You're right. Just be careful. Okay?"

2016-01-16 06:23:45

🌀

"....I will." After a minute, I landed on a roof nearby and set her down.

2016-01-16 06:25:03

●

Reluctantly, she steadied herself onto the roof. Well...it's been a while, at least.

2016-01-16 06:28:17

🌀

"S-sorry, should I take you back...?"

2016-01-16 06:29:04

●

"No, it's fine. Really. You did nothing wrong, trust me."

2016-01-16 06:30:00

🌀

"...if you're sure. I'm...not sure what came over me."

2016-01-16 06:30:23

●

"I'm sure. I like flying just, Lance only does it every once in a while."
