The City Of Astan

Whit

I gasp when he does what he does, swallowing and closing my eyes before opening them again and looking at him just to make sure. Once I compose myself, I take a deep breath and step off.

Ethan

I smile and watch her before taking another step, being held up. Take it slow until she gets the hang of it. Then the fun can start.

Whit

I watch him before doing as he does. Don't look down. Don't look down.

Ethan

I take one more step and look back at her, "S'okay, Whit. I won't let you fall."

Whit

I nod and take another step, slightly relaxing.

Ethan

I take a few more steps with her before breaking off the rest of the path and mustering the energy to carry us instead.

Whit

I do as he does, never letting go of his hand.

Ethan

I look at her, "We're going to jump now, okay? We'll be fine, I swear it, but we're going to jump."

Whit

I nod, "Okay, E. Just...be careful."

Ethan

I flash a smile and turn to completely face her, stepping to the very edge of the invisible block I'm standing on, "I will. C'mon."

Whit

I nod and do the same, swallowing.

Ethan

I wrap an arm around her before letting myself backwards.

Whit

He takes me with him and I close my eyes, letting myself fall.

Ethan

I flash a smile and close my eyes, concentrating. At the last second, I muster the energy and shoot us back up. Slowing things, I solidify the energy around us and mirage it to look like a cloud, moving a hand to rest behind my head and opening my eyes.

"So... I thought you might like to see things from a different perspective," I say, looking to the side and then down, "S'pretty amazing from a cloud's view."

Whit

I smile at him and nod, looking down, "S'amazing."
