Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The weather was still lovely, of course. And there were all these neat tables of moddable snackies to help break those awkward silences that were so common with teenage get-togethers.

So... yeah.

Enjoy!

He healed quickly, and he could fly. So he was ... something else entirely. She didn't have any idea what that might mean.

"Mine are connected to magic," she explained. As though he hadn't pieced together that much. "It's when I ... really use my powers, that they appear. I'm not sure why Sorceresses have wings. It just seems most of them do."

And that was where Warren offered her a grin, yes. Just because he could.

"It's probably because wings are awesome," he decreed. "And so is flying. Do you get to fly, much?"

Rinoa shook her head, quickly, and flushed.

"I haven't tried," she said. "I'm not ... myself, when I'm like that."

She thought about it, when her wings were out. She thought about swooping, and diving, and skimming over the trees. And then uprooting all of the trees with a sweep of her arm just by willing it to happen, and cracking the shell of the whole world if she just pushed hard enough.

She wasn't sure if any of those things were even possible. She figured it wasn't such a great idea to find out.

"Oh..." Warren looked only slightly crestfallen, at that. "So, you've got a pair of wings that you can't use."

He nodded a little, thoughtfully. And then he was smiling all over again.

"Did you want to find out what it's like, anyhow?"

"Not yet," Rinoa said. "I mean, I haven't figured out how to use them, yet. Maybe I can."

Could she reach them without reaching all the rest of the bad stuff they carried? She didn't know. Was it worth looking into? She ... didn't know about that, either.

"... You could really do that?" she asked, eyes wider.

"What, carry you? You don't exactly look heavy," Warren replied, smiling. "And I spent an entire weekend just picking kids up and flying around with them. If I can show a bunch of squirmy kindergarteners what flying is like, you'd be easy."

And, you know, any excuse to show off to a pretty girl...

"Okay!" There were possible pitfalls to that idea, but pfft, Rinoa was not the type to look before leaping. "You'd need a clear day for it, right? You could go in the rain but you'd be sopping wet."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2010)

"Clear would be best," Warren agreed, laughing a little at her immediate response. "Wet feathers aren't exactly the best for flying, you know. And we'd freeze our butts off up there, flying in the rain."
