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!

[HJSDFJKLDJ]

You can fly?

[She shouldn't be that surprise, but... none of these people are EVOs so it's just... sldfjld...]

[imperial_ray]

Well yes. I have wings, after all.

[doc_holi]

Wow.

I- I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't be surprised. A lot of people in my world can fly, too.

[imperial_ray]

They can?

[doc_holi]

Yes. [She's not sure who she told this to, but here she goes anyway.]

In my world, we have some people that we call EVOs that have... powers. Some of them can fly.

[imperial_ray]

Oh! Those things you mentioned!

[doc_holi]

Yeah. Those. [She chuckles.]

My friend, Rex, is an EVO. He can fly, too.

[imperial_ray]

Oh wow! What else can he do?

[doc_holi]

His ability is to be able to interact and build machines on thought so, theoretically, he can do pretty much anything.

For right now, most of his abilities are something like mechanical wings and a hover board he can create with his body. And he can make different sorts of weapons, too. A cannon. A sword.

... He has a lot of talents. [She chuckles.]

[imperial_ray]

Oh wow! So he really is like a Gear...

[doc_holi]

A gear?

[imperial_ray]

Um... That's what I am.

[doc_holi]

Oh, I see.

[She did mention something like that before.]

[imperial_ray]

It's... difficult. To explain to people not from my world what Gears are. But having something similar in your own world helps.

[doc_holi]

... Like the EVOs.

[Though, she's sure that there are differences between the two as well.] We should compare notes some time.

[reverentresistance]

I don't know if you'd wish to take me flying, but I would like to see you, of course. We could go flying if you wanted.

[imperial_ray]

Ah, well... There's actually more I don't understand about what I am than what I do.

[imperial_ray]

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.

[doc_holi]

... Oh?

[... Did she just step on a landmine topic?]

[imperial_ray]

It's... It's a long story.

[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.

[cleaningstop]

I'm inclined to agree. It's a wonderful feeling, being able to enjoy the sun like that.

Ah, but yes, I'd love to go flying with you!
