Pip had remembered how to fly, but she had not yet had much of a chance to look around. So, after the battles were through, she scaled the outer walls of Conquest. When she was high enough, she leapt off to take flight over the town.

Sitting under a tree is one Fortitude prefect, knees drawn to her chest, crying piteously. She's still really upset by Shion's disappearance.

sorry about the wait!

[vespertinity]

When Pip's wings started to be tired, she decided to land for a while. There there was a nice looking collection of leafy branches growing out of the ground, and she settled on a smaller twig of a branch.

Someone else was there, though, sitting below: a human making odd noises and not really moving. Pip watched curiously. It wasn't asleep and didn't look injured, but this wasn't something she had seen any other humans do.

"Hello! What are you doing?"

No worries! :D

[pencilpremonition]

Becca looked up towards the voice, but she didn't see anyone there. She wiped her face and stared back down at the ground, answering out of humouring rather than anything else. She felt silly talking to the open air, but maybe it would calm her down.

"I'm crying. Y'know, what people do when they're upset?"

[vespertinity]

She'd never heard that sort of cry before. But then, Pip had never known humans until very recently.

"Are you hurt? You shouldn't be out here all alone if you are. Something might eat you."

[pencilpremonition]

"No, I'm upset. Nothing's going to eat me," she insisted, wiping at her eyes a bit.

[vespertinity]

Pip considered this. She wasn't sure what was meant by upset, really. Was it like being angry? scared? lonely? But Pip remembered how, what seemed like a long time ago now, she had fallen into her mama's nest from the sky, and if this was anything like that...

She fluttered down and landed next to the human, crawling over to snuggle against Becca's leg.

[pencilpremonition]

That surprised her enough to shock her out of her tears, at least for a little bit. "Y-you're a bat," she stammered, gently reaching out to stroke the creature by her leg.

[vespertinity]

Really, why did everyone think that? "I'm a bird."

Oh, that was nice. Pip closed her eyes and leaned into the hand petting her.

[pencilpremonition]

Becca sighed softly and kept petting her, figuring that the school had taken a memory from her. "I wish I was a bird. I'd fly away from here and never come back..."

[vespertinity]

Pip looked to the side, although the big lake was too far to see from here. Would it be possible to fly that far? Maybe her home was just across the water, just waiting for her to fly there. She was sure she could make it there.

No one would be able to come with her unless they could fly. But if her home was just across the big lake, she could return any time.

[pencilpremonition]

Becca sighed, continuing to pet Pip. "I miss him so much," she murmured. It didn't matter that Pip wouldn't know what she was talking about, she just needed to vent it.
