forum Is it too much to ask for a roleplay that won't die?

Firiko burst into a lope after him, surprisingly agile despite his wings.

Alex hooted in joy. Suddenly, an arrow whizzed by, nearly hitting his nose. Alex screamed, but he kept running.

Firiko's eyes widened when he heard the other scream, and he quickly came level with him. "What's going on?!"

"Someone's attacking us!" Alex yelled as he ran. Another arrow whizzed by.
"They're probably after the box!"

Firiko huffed, spreading his wings just in front of Alex, "Get on!"

Alex jumped, landing lightly on Firiko's back.

Firiko closed his wings around the other, swerving into the trees as he picked up his pace.

Alex hunched down, burying his face in Firiko's back. Shouts could be heard from behind; a net shot at them, narrowly missing.

Firiko dodged the net, but barely, the roped catching on a coue of feathers, pulling them free as he ran.

There was more shouting. Alex gripped Firiko's fur tightly, terrified for their lives.

Firiko huffed, fjnally breaking out of the trees onto a plain. At the point he slowly spread their wings, taking off as quickly as possible, soon soaring high into the sky.

Alex dared to look down. Below them, a group of five men stared up from the forest edge. One seemed about to shoot a crossbow, but another stopped him. One motioned, and they sank into the shadows of the forest.

Firiko flew easily, his wings outstretched to their massive span.

"Thank you…" Alex whispered.

"No problem" said Firiko.

Alex twirled his fingers in Firiko's fur.

Firiko growled slightly, though it resembled a purr.

Alex then threw his hands in the air, smiling.

Firiko kept his flight steady for the other, dropping Alitude just a little.

Alex was back to being a ball of sunshine, a huge smile of joy on his face.

Firiko had to resist the urge to laugh, he didn't know how the other could remain so cheerful.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Firiko laughed, this guy was truly awe inspiring.

(You should see him on the battlefield)
This is the only way I can think to describe this moment:
Close up on Alex's smiling face, silver hair waving in the breeze. Eyes half closed, head tilted back.
"This is awesome!"
Sparkle sparkle

(What is he like on the battlefield???
Also…
reaction to post: Laughs head off….)

Firiko could almost feel rainbows and sparkles coming off of this guy…. *Wow…. just… just… wow…)
