[Anyone who looks will see a rather amused figure sitting by the fountain. What is she laughing at? Who knows for certain but it's probably you.]

Well then. It looks like it's time for a vacation. Let's all have fun, ne?

[Oh god don't make him blush!]

Well, no else had quite your... ah touch.

[Though he did have a chance to make noodles for a cop! He hasn't taken anyone else flying though.]

[toujoursfluer]

Is that right?

[Have a smile, Marco]

That's good, I might have gotten jealous.

[fierybluebird]

[A happy grin, and a light blush right back in return.]

Is that so? I didn't know there was much to get jealous over. [Though he doesn't seem to mind.]

[toujoursfluer]

You'd be surprised.

[She stretches]

In fact, I think I'm bored sitting here... What shall I do for entertainment?

[fierybluebird]

[Gets up with her.] Must be difficult to keep such a sharp mind entertained. What's your pleasure and how may I be of service?

[toujoursfluer]

My pleasure?

[A warm smile as she takes a nice slow look at you. It's really been too long]

My pleasures are rather...diverse. I wonder if you could handle it.

[fierybluebird]

[A positively glowing smirk.]

So long as it's not swimming, I can handle anything. And if nothing else, I'll find a way to rise to the challenge.

[toujoursfluer]

[She stands and runs her fingers briefly over your shoulder]

Is that so? I think then my pleasure will be a ride, Bird-chan.

[fierybluebird]

[He can't stop grinning, but he does manage to keep to perfect deadpan even with this ridiculously melodramatic line.]

Is that all I am to you? Transportation?

[But he already starts shimmering into phoenix form.]

[toujoursfluer]

Did you want to be more?

[Is it a real question? Or is she teasing? The world may never know]

[fierybluebird]

Just give me a chance, I could be so much more than a means to touch the sky.

[Yes, he means that metaphorically shhh. Fully into phoenix form now and waits for her to get on.]

I also put on one hell of a hand shadow puppet show. Which you'd know if you took time to know me and my brains and not just my body. [Completely deadpan joking, obviously. But yes, Marco's idea of a shadow puppet show is two hundred variations of birds until whoever he's tricked into one such show gets up to leave or smacks him for it. He counts down how long their patience takes.]

[toujoursfluer]

Well I do admire a man who knows what to do with his hands....

[She strokes the fine feathers on his neck before sitting like the lady she is, legs swept to one side, chest pressed securely against your neck as her arms slide around your shoulders to keep herself anchored.]

Though I fail to see how hands are intellectually stimulating.

[And she does so like to be stimulated.]

[fierybluebird]

[Shivers slightly at the pet, but he shakes it off as he spreads his wings and gets a good jump to take off flying.]

You can use hands for a lot of things beyond the physical you know. Besides, otherwise you'd have to wait for the wind to turn your book pages and then it would never hit the right one.

And it's more the show that's stimulating. [Except... not really. And with that they're up in the air. And yes, he finds it hilarious that he's trying to tell a woman who often uses multiple hands what they're useful for. Weird sense of humor.]

[toujoursfluer]

[This is a nice feeling. There is nothing better than the wind in her hair and the ground dropping away. She's missed this, she realizes. How odd to miss something about this place.]

Oh I don't know about that. You could get inventive. After all, hands aren't the only things that can play.

[And she says this close to your ear just in case you didn't catch the meaning.]

Give me a show, Bird-chan.

[fierybluebird]

True enough...

[Gulps and speeds up some. It's hard just to stay steady with those words or even more so the way they're said, but he manages for now, keeping an even pace so it wasn't a jolt, just a rush.]

You better hold on tight then Robin, because I don't promise I won't get carried away. [He spreads the wings out wide for extra lift and stills his tail feathers in preparation for what he's going to do next.]

[toujoursfluer]

[Her heart speeds up. She's enjoying this. The wild freedom of flight. The thought of something surprising going to happen... She can't help but smile.]

Don't hold back on my account.

[fierybluebird]

[A quick glance back to make sure his rider is secure and Marco starts a fast spiral upwards looping up like a corkscrew before deciding he's reached a satisfactory height and quickly free fall diving downwards. It's easily fast enough that if she isn't holding on tight, Robin will be in danger of floating upwards and off of him.]

[toujoursfluer]

[Generally, she likes surprises more than anything. But there is a certain thrill about the build of anticipation speeding through her heart. She holds on tight enough as they go higher and higher....]

[And then down. So fast she can hardly breathe. The wind pushing her hair back and making her eyes tear. She clutches at your neck and you might hear a laugh if it isn't carried away by the wind.]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco laughs himself a little, going down faster and faster until he can't take anymore and then he spreads the wings as wide as they'll go and swoops back up before they can hit any tree tops. But he's hardly done showing off. As they climb back up and Marco levels out, he speeds up as fast as he can possibly go, using all the acceleration from before to his advantage and very quickly spins into a barrel roll, better keep holding on there Robin, and don't mind the sparkles being shed in the process.]

[toujoursfluer]

[A sharp thrill goes through her as they come close to being a mangled set of corpses on the tree branches. She loves the pure burst of speed and clings onto him tightly as they pull into a sharp spin until she can hardly tell up from down.]

[And now it's her turn for a show]

Give me ten seconds.

[And she lets go of him, the speed of the spin throwing her into the air.]

Cien Fleur: Wing!

[Hundreds of hands sprout from her and she catches an updraft, using it to do a gentler roll, spinning upward, watching Bird-chan dropping further away]

[fierybluebird]

[Marco's birdie eyes widen, just a bit worried. That's a very neat trick, and he is, of course, completely impressed, but he doesn't know how long she can stay like that so he quickly tries to calculate all the appropriate angles to get back under her to catch her just in case.]

Hah sneaky. You didn't tell me you could fly on your own~ How much energy does that take? [And wow figuring out angles is hard when you flip upside down and practically have to hover. He could switch into hybrid to hover better, but then he wouldn't be able to catch her.]

[toujoursfluer]

Too much...

[She smiles...]

It's worth it.

[She is already straining. But she's so high and it's so beautiful and amazing to be under her own power that she doesn't want to stop.]

[She has to though in a heartbeat. The hands burst into petals and down she goes, crashing into you.]

[fierybluebird]

[Catches her as gracefully as he can. He can't blame her though, he loves flying -- obviously. So the desire for it? Yeah, that's something he understands very much.]

Aye... Are you going to be okay? [Carefully levels out and cranes his neck back at her.]

[toujoursfluer]

Mm. Very. That was exciting.

[She rests her chin on her hand]

How about you, Bird-chan? You seem a bit flustered.

[And as she speaks she strokes her fingers down your neck]

[fierybluebird]

[His neck shivers slightly at the touch, though he clearly doesn't mind.]

It's been a long time since I was surprised. Which makes it that much more exciting. [And flustering, since he does feel responsible for his riders after all.] I don't fluster easily. [So she should feel extra accomplished if she doesn't already.]
