Reluctantly handling something extremely fragile without breaking it. - Falcons' Feathers Part 1, Irina, around the time of talking airlock

She hadn't gotten used to the walls talking to her. She didn't want to, either, and if he would have let her she'd have slept in the horse while he carried on his half-laughing argument with the air.

He wouldn't let her, of course, and he'd put her to work. 'Take this from the cargo compartments to either me or where I've been putting things' level work, mostly sealed boxes that she was desperately curious about but not stupid enough to open.

'Mostly' wasn't 'all', and frankly she'd have been happier if she couldn't see what she was about to try moving. She'd even checked to make sure there weren't any other firebirds for him to have been talking about.

But there was only one firebird, a sculpture as long as her arm from tailfeathers to crown and nearly as wide in the wingspan, and she could watch the primary wingfeathers shiver as she breathed near it

the sculpture sounds glorious, if not creepy in context, and yeah, so, so delicate. *pets the use of prompt.*

i also like the moment of "ARGH. FORGOT WHICH NAME HE IS USING TODAY," and that, despite the fact that the creepy-as-hell, she can still have pity. <3

also, hee! at the last.

One could form the impression that Baba Yagas abandoned community-spirits don't much care for firebirds, for some reason!

Am glad the delicacy came across okay--I was mostly getting the 'ohgodi'mgoingtobreakthisthing' feed. With hints of 'oh, my god, why am i heeeeeeere' and 'god you're annoying'. >.>

Makes you want to breathe carefully just reading it.

I love the different levels in relationships here, and the subtle layers of emotion. Also the yaga's initial reaction to the firebird question.

And additionally, what Kammy said.
