Spread my wings and fly away

[Sometimes, the most basic dreams are the most enjoyable. This? This is one of the most basic dreams that anyone can have. Far, far below is a vast city- New York, perhaps, with skyscrapers reaching up like grasping fingers. But that's far below, so far that the cars are just little dots zooming on the freeways. Up here is freedom. Pure, clean air, crisp and invigorating; fluffy white clouds like vast pillows; an endless blue sky with not even a bird to risk running into. Teddy's flying in his usual style, with leathery wings outstretched and gliding on the lazy thermals from the hot city below. Those who can fly will find this a perfect day for it.

Those who can't... well... it's a long, long drop to the bottom, and falling is just as basic a nightmare as flight is a dream. At least, in this case, there's a superhero conveniently nearby to make sure that the nightmare doesn't end badly?]

Special circumstances? [He blinks, a little confused by that. What can she mean by it? If you can get up into the clouds once, you can do it again, right? ...though he has to fight a little grin. Imagining a lost kitten in a cloud is kind of a cute mental image, but he certainly hopes that's not the case.] Well, if you can't get back down again, I can carry you?

-- Ah. [ There's a slow blink that shows Aerith hadn't even thought about the descent yet, and she looks over the side again. ]

... I mi~ight take you up on that.

[He gives a good-natured laugh at that. Even though he's hovering now, he takes the time to flex his arms, emphasizing the strength in those broad green arms.] Just let me know. ...seriously, though, this isn't like climbing up a tree.

No, I'm sure that's much easier just because it's so much shorter! [ She doesn't exactly have the climbing-tree experience herself, though. ] Okay. I'll tell you when I'm ready to go down.
