"What would have happened if Illia had walked in?"

powerispain

"Probably her sisterly prerogative to tweak me."

first-and-final

"It wasn't even -"

powerispain

"True. ...And if she saw, like, the look on your face, she definitely wouldn't."

first-and-final

He smiles wryly.

powerispain

Briefly more hug. Then: "...Dad's probably right though."

first-and-final

"That is also a way in which he reminds me of my mother."

powerispain

She giggles. "I bet I'd like her."

first-and-final

"I bet you would."

powerispain

"I look forward to meeting her."

first-and-final

"One day."

powerispain

"Yeah. ...Do you remember how to get back to campus from here? I'm not sure a walking route would have been obvious from the air."

first-and-final

"Um. I could probably manage it but it might be a better idea to fly me back."

powerispain

"Well, I can do that!"

first-and-final

He smiles.

powerispain

"Flying is great, I can't wait until you can do it for yourself, it's way better when you're the one steering."

first-and-final

He laughs. "I'll bet."

powerispain

She grins and walks to the door and opens it with a flourishing bow.

first-and-final

He smiles and follows.

powerispain

And then flying, wheeee!

first-and-final

powerispain

Aaaah he's too pretty.

She hugs him again when they land.

first-and-final

Hug!!

"Thanks. See you tomorrow."

powerispain

"You're welcome. See you tomorrow."-
