Fortunately for Fool the first person to find him wasn't a girl. He wasn't even human at the current time. After having "escaped" from Midna (he didn't actually escape, he just left for a stroll--he was playing at being her familiar right right, but he wanted to have as much fun being a cat as possible--why not, right?) he had gone out and patrolled most of the compound. The cluster of buildings was one of the last places he visited, the gym close to the very last. He slipped stealthily inside and paced calmly into a corner for a panoramic view.

He licked at a paw idly as he watched the man on the trapeze. Was it just him, or did that figure look somewhat familiar? He focused on his paw for a few more seconds before suddenly getting up and padding over closer.

"You're a lot taller than I remember. Is it just my current size, or did you get bigger, too?" the black cat asked aloud in perfect English as he lay down on the ground next to the mat below the trapeze and stared up at the man boredly.

Fool caught the bar and flipped himself up to stand on it. Holding onto the ropes, he carefully surveyed the gym. All he saw was a cat, which meant most likely that the cat was the speaker - a fact which didn't faze the former spirit.

"I do seem to have put on a few feet," Fool called down to the feline.

"I see," the cat replied lazily. He turned around to lick at his back for a moment before shaking out his head and glancing up back. Harry stared up at the performer with that infamous bored cat look. "As I recall, you were doing a miniature version of this then, too. Can you do anything else?"

For answer, Fool leapt from the trapeze. He tucked into a backflip, landing on the net properly on his back. "I once entertained in a royal court. I know a few tricks."

Feather wandered in and looked up at Fool, watching silently. A few memories of the last time he'd been like this flitted through her head. She tried to brush them away, but for they were rather persistent memories - and leading to some frankly un-angelic ideas.

Fool had rigged up the trapeze with a spinning bar, wanting to practice Layla's signature move - the Golden Phoenix. His body spun dizzyingly on the bar as he got up his momentum. At the pinnacle of the swing, he released, his momentum sending him up even higher. He posed in the air, seeming almost to freeze for a moment in time. And then he was grabbing the other bar.

As he took a moment to catch his breath from the difficult trick, and wait for things to stop spinning, Fool realized he wasn't alone. He smiled down at the angel below. "Hello, Feather!"

[thelast_feather]

Feather returned the smile. "Impressive. Hello, Fool."

Fool let go of the bar to drop down to the safety net. As much as he enjoyed being on the trapeze, he didn't fancy keeping up a conversation with Feather from that height. "Have you come to keep me safe from those who might want a bit of revenge?"
