"I'm only one person. And you didn't have a person worming through your brain as you do all that."
"I'm only one person. And you didn't have a person worming through your brain as you do all that."
"Ah. I see. My bad." She smiled down at him.
Thank you, Runner. You've helped me a lot more than you realize.
He got back up on to the couch. "How're you feeling? Like, physically?"
She rolled her shoulders and rubbed her stomach. Little to no pain. "Better. The poison's going away, so my healing blood is coming back and doing its job."
"Awesome." He glanced at the TV as there was a loud explosion, then back to Tess.
"Hmm?"
"I kinda wanna…go fly."
She sighed dramatically and stood. "I'll keep watch, but that's it for me. I'm not sure my wings can hold my weight yet, and don't particularly feel like crashing down to earth due to a cramp."
He shrugged, walking out to the balcony. In a blue flash, he was a twisting mass of dragon, swooping close by a window.
She walked out as well and leaned against the railing, watching him dance around in the sky with a mindless smile.
He glided over to the balcony, hovering in place for a moment. "Want a ride?"
"Don't drop me."
"Like I ever would." He moved horizontally to the railing. "Just hold on to my mane."
She climbed over the railing and onto his back. She situated herself, then patted him. "Ready."
He started off, maybe moving half of the speed he usually would and forgoing the twirls, spins, and other fancy things.
She noticed and smiled at the courtesy. She leaned back, wrapping her legs around him to hold on as she flung her arms out, savoring the feel of the ocean breeze whipping past them. I love flying.
He playfully twisted suddenly, not hard enough to knock her off but enough to scare her
She yelped and latched onto him, then scowled. "Not you too!"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"There are multiple people who try and knock me off balance or off of buildings when I'm not holding on properly," she complained, but was having too much fun to really mean it.
"Ah, but mine wasn't out of maliciousness. It was out of love," he said, spinning around for a moment.
"Uh uh," she said with a smile. He's too cute.
"Are you feeling alright? Need to go back?"
She leaned back again, closing her eyes. "Nope. I'm perfect."
"I can only keep this up for about another half hour. Just warning you."
