Comments

[vulpstyle]

[takes it, and clambers back to her feet...

... only to freeze abruptly, when she catches sight of the SUNLIGHT shining through the WINDOW. Whatever she was about to say chokes in her throat.]

[battle_genius]

...

[Yeah. I know that feeling. He tugs on her hand, not quite letting go yet.]

Don't just stand there looking dumb. There's a way out there right over there.

[vulpstyle]

There's-

[BEELINING FOR IT '-' Tugging him with]

[battle_genius]

[DRAGGED ALONG and motions for your enshrouded friend to follow.]

[It takes no time at all to get the latch open and out onto the branch.

It might seem almost like a dream, the humid breeze tugging at your clothes carrying the sharp smell of greenery and the deeper, richer scent of healthy earth. There's the hum of insects, the skaw of unfamiliar birds above, and somewhere, the rasp of scales for a moment.

But oh, of all of it, is the warmth of the sun filtering down through the wide jungle leaves, warm, dancing across your skin.]

[vulpstyle]

[tilts her head back and takes a deep, deep breath. It's been a year, but the familiarity of it; the warmth of the sun, the ozone tingle of a coming storm, the scent of earth and trees and water and—and how much of her life had Yuffie spent in forests? So much that it feels like second nature even now, it feels a little bit like home and…

And the sun…

Oops.

NINJA IS LEAKING.]

[battle_genius]

[There's no comment, not even movement from the shark at her side. He just stays there, enjoying the wind himself.]

[vulpstyle]

[faintly]

I don't... My-

Man, what a lousy time not to have my A-T.

[battle_genius]

[A grin at you.]

You'd let that get in the way?

[vulpstyle]

... Point.

[stretches, briefly, eyeing the rainforest and the overcast afternoon sky... Takes a deep breath, and there is no discernible pause between then and explosive, gravity defying leap. It's speed and power she hasn't known outside of her memories for so, so long.

And the best bit? For this, her cap is purely endurance based. It might be brief, going all out like this, but right now the sky is her bitch, and so are the twisting networks of branches.]

[battle_genius]

[You can hear the whine of engine and smell the sharp scent of fresh tree sap a moment before you see him, hurdling upwards in your shadow. The jungle itself rustles, snaps and caws at the brazen intruders, but really, who gives a damn about them yet?]

[vulpstyle]

[Not us, that's for sure! Trixie twists and flips into a double jump—no, a triple jump, using a quick throw-catch-throw of her shuriken to give herself an extra boost.]

On second thought, I'm not jealous at all! [The words are more than half laughter, startled and overjoyed.]

[battle_genius]

[Really, it's exhilaration, the blinding rush of tree branches blurring by. The warmth of your own muscles FINALLY stretching. That you may or may not notices the shark dropping back.]

Oi! Don't break canopy!

[vulpstyle]

Eh? Okay-!

[She does notice, and spares him a quick, upside-down glance]

How come?
