Mm... If I can take one thing from the ordeal with the Pirate Queen, it's reminded me how much I love flying at the cloud level. It's rather cold up there, but if you breach the cloud line, the sun is super warm! There's really nothing else like it...

It makes me wish the Vine could show you all what I see when I'm up there. When I'm in the sky... that's when I feel closest to God. There, the troubles of the mortal world seem so far away. All of the war, the prejudices, the deprivation...

Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to go on like that. What I meant to ask was if there was anyone that wanted to come flying with me? I'm strong enough to hold most anyone, regardless of size!

Why would you think I'd not wish to take you? You're at the top of my list.

[reverentresistance]

Oh? Good, that's...

I just didn't want to impose.

[imperial_ray]

Hmm... If anything, aren't I the one imposing on you?

[reverentresistance]

You'd be the one doing the work.

[imperial_ray]

You'd be the one high in the air with only me to support you. I think that's the bigger imposition, considering lifting you is of no trouble to me.

[reverentresistance]

I'm sure that I can trust you not to drop me.

[imperial_ray]

Then it's a date!

[reverentresistance]

Great.

-A date. How...wonderful, to get to hear that.-

Are you free now for it, or did you want to do it later?

[imperial_ray]

Hmmm, well, I want to make certain the weather is perfect...

[reverentresistance]

I wouldn't want to have to wait so long as that might be.

[imperial_ray]

Mm, well... weather's very important in flying.

[reverentresistance]

Oh, of course. But it needn't be perfect, just good enough.

[imperial_ray]

O-okay... Just good enough, then.

[reverentresistance]

Just let me know.

[imperial_ray]

-An enthusiastic nod.- I will!

[reverentresistance]

-And Ky will await this date eagerly.-
