[ So a certain someone is hanging out in the first floors of the Tower, lurking in the metal beams and rafters near the glass ceiling. He's sitting above the food court area, dividing his attention between the sky and the people milling below

[Euphie is sampling some ice cream down there, and happens to glance up to see--wings? She does a double-take and then smiles and waves, recognizing him.]

Hello again!

[prince_of_skies]

[ Hm? It takes him a moment to figure out which of the bright heads down there is addressing him. Oh! It's that lovely Ornatia woman. ]

Oh, hello! Am I disturbing you?

[fleurgentille]

Not at all! [She tilts her head, curious] Is it nice up there?

[prince_of_skies]

Oh yes, you get a wonderful view of the sky from here.

[fleurgentille]

That sounds lovely! I wish I could join you.

[prince_of_skies]

You can, if you'd like.

[fleurgentille]

[Looks surprised by that] I would love to, but how? I don't see an easy way to get up that high, I'm afraid...

[prince_of_skies]

[ This is when he slips off the beam and opens his wings to catch the air, floating down to the ground. Oops, that seems to have surprised quite a few people, but ah well, at least it's not too busy in here. ]

I can carry you up there.

[fleurgentille]

[Looks even more surprised by that suggestion--but a little excited, too.]

Oh! I-- Are you sure that wouldn't be too much trouble?

[prince_of_skies]

Not at all! [ He's already behind her, beating his wings to hover again, his hands slipping beneath her arms. ]

This is your last chance to refuse! If you're terrified of heights, now would be the time to warn me.

[fleurgentille]

[She can't stop herself from giggling a bit, smiling widely.]

I'm not afraid at all! I just hope I don't drop my ice cream on anyone.

[prince_of_skies]

Oh, that would be unfortunate. You would have to go and buy another cone! [ Final warning, before he's up and off -- luckily she's not very heavy so it's not too difficult for him to lift her up and to the rafters. It's very high! ]

[fleurgentille]

[She's surprised by the sensation, not having expected it to, well--feel so much like she's really flying. Other than a soft gasp when he takes off, she's quiet, just watching as the ceiling gets closer and closer.]

[prince_of_skies]

[ Soon enough the ceiling gives way to glass panes struck through with wide metal rafters and beams; this is where Reyson sets her down. ]

Don't fall, now!

[fleurgentille]

[She steadies herself, looking up through the glass ceiling at the clouds overhead and then down at the people below, quiet with awe for a moment.]

Do you sit up here often?

[prince_of_skies]

[ He settles himself beside her, leaning his shoulder against the supporting beam beside him. ] I do. Most others don't notice me.
