OOM: Tobias' Entrance
Despite what she'd said, they don't exchange a single word in the air. That they're in it is enough, together is more, is everything. There's no need to ruin it - the dream, the hallucination - with anything resembling reality.
Which is all Milliways does, anyway. Resemble reality.
But two hours draws near. And while the temptation is still there in the back of her mind, the way it never was on Earth but continues to haunt her here, it's Rachel who shifts her wings and heads back to the building.
Not here.
Not now.
And not the eagle.
The balcony, when she finds the right one, is large but Tobias may still have to wait until Rachel curls talons around the railing and is able to tuck her six-foot wingspan back in close to her body.
She hops to the snow-covered tiles and starts to demorph.
