"Yep!!" He said simply, placing both hand behind his head, "That's what I do! I like tricking people, playing pranks," He glanced back at her, "causing trouble."

Yomo chuckled and ruffled Aita's hair. They decided to eat and walked into a small restaurant.

"Well," He said, lowing his hands, "shall we begin?"

Estella shrugged uncertainly. "If you say so."

"Yomo-san, can I have a cheeseburger?" Aita asked, pulling at the red stitches encircling his arm.
Yomo considered it, "Maybe. Aita-kun, eating healthy is essential." he laughed, "I'm old, so I don't have to eat healthy. I'm the one who gets to have a cheeseburger."

"Begin…? What?"

"Flight lesion! Now right now, if you look below you, your hovering, not flying… You have to stop thinking you have a body, once you think your still in a body- you go back to hovering. Got that? You know how a bird flaps its wings to fly? To get moving, you do that, but with your mind, you imagine you moving forward! You imagine the wings on your back and you move them like if they were there!"

"Yomo-san!" Aita whined.
"It's okay, I was just messing with you." Yomo smiled and ordered two cheeseburgers.

Robin glanced over the edge of the building before quickly stepping backward. "I-I don't think I can do this…"

"Well, you can start by doing right here!" He pointed to the ground, "You don't have to jump off a building to fly! Do you think birds have to jump off a building to get going?"

Aita's red eyes brightened and he tapped the table with his fingers, pretending to play drums.

Estella concentrated, rising off the ground.

"I… I guess not." Robin tried to imagine wings on his back. It wasn't too difficult, he had always had a very vivid imagination, but the trouble would be flying. He moved the imaginary wings in the way he had seen his bird companions do, and he felt himself rising into the air.

"Thats how you do it!" Lance said happily, folding his hand together.

She moved forward tentatively, pretending she was one of the Bird Woman's colorful birds of paradise.

Yomo reached over and stopped Aita's hands. "Yomo-san?
"It was getting annoying."
Aita sighed and looked around the shop, white hair flowing as he swiveled his head.

Robin moved forward in the air, but got uncomfortably close to the edge of the building and panicked. He felt himself falling down, and he closed his eyes as he braced for an impact. None came, so he opened his eyes, finding himself hovering on the rooftop.

Aita hummed to himself softly and ignored the loud talking of the shop. It was reminding him of…

"Stop thinking you can get hurt! Ghost cant feel pain!"

"I know! It's just… when I was.. er, alive, I was afraid of heights. So I'm still afraid of heights. I don't think fears really disappear right away when you become a ghost."

"I guess so," Lance muttered, "I remember when I first learned to fly." Smiling, he in-hide his jet black wings, "I brock a bone here." He pointed to the curve of the wing. "It was bad, was not able to fly for two months!"

No. He would never think about that again. He was safe. Aita smiled when the cheeseburgers came and he took large bites, finishing the food in seconds. Yomo laughed, "Aita-kun, you hungry wolf." Aita smiled and got off of the chair.
"Yomo-san, I'm going to go home." he waved at Yomo and made his way to the department's sleeping quarters. The one for orphans.

"I've broken several bones in my lifetime… I broke my ankle with a bear trap once. The trap was poisoned, and I almost died, actually."

"Wow, when I was young I feel off a mountain peak, it was before I could fly, I tumbled all the way down, through the snow and rocks, now that was bad!"

"Really? How did you survive?"
