6th Light [Video]

[Ushio turns on the video feed and smiles brightly. She looks a bit worn out, but very happy at the same time. Her hair is also blowing about in the wind.]

We did it!

[She pans the feed down to show an aerial view of Violet City. So apparently it isn't the wind, Ushio's just flying about on the back of her Altaria.]

This is really wonderful.

[On the ground, meanwhile, Clem is watching the feed and having her excitement for Ushio's win compounded by the view she's getting.]

Whoa... [She looks up and scans the sky for a few seconds, trying to spot Ushio and Aoi - but then, Aoi is blue and cloud already - and she looks back at the camera.]

...Are you scared, a little? That's really high...

[Video]

[alonelyworld]

Not really. It's actually really fun.

Do you want to try?

[Video]

[willrememberthis]

[ - Wait was that an offer? Her eyes go wide.] ...Could I?

[Video]

[alonelyworld]

Yeah. I'm sure Aoi wouldn't mind.

[Video]

[willrememberthis]

[She looks up at the sky once again, then down again at the 'Gear. She still couldn't even spot an Altaria, coming down to land or not, and her heart still gives a hard thump and a cool feeling breezes through her head at picturing herself with that view.]

...Now?

[Video -> Action]

[alonelyworld]

Sure.

[And sure enough within moments, Aoi and Ushio come soaring downwards quickly, but slow down and land safely. She giggles a little as she hops off the Altaria's back.]

[Action]

[willrememberthis]

[And now Clementine is unmistakably excited. She smiles in a friendly and shared happiness-bearing way - Ushio doesn't look as if it was any less than a fantastic ride!

She stands, takes a few steps over, hesitates towards Aoi -] -- ...You're sure it's okay?

[Action]

[alonelyworld]

Of course it's okay. Isn't that right, Aoi?

[The Altaria coos in response and lowers her wings.]

See?

[Action]

[willrememberthis]

[Clementine looks back to Ushio, smiling a nervous smile, which she then directs again to Aoi. She takes a few steps closer, enough to set a hand on her back and pet with one ginger stroke, and then looks back to Ushio again.]

Is... there anything that I have to know to do?

[That is, both for Aoi's comfort and her own safety!]

[Action]

[alonelyworld]

Not really, just don't grip her too tight or anything like that.

[Ushio pets Aoi's head and starts talking to her.]

Listen to Clementine for a little bit, okay?

[Action]

[willrememberthis]

[She turns back to Aoi and nods.]

Okay.

[And then she tautens up to board without pulling or kicking, as much as she can, taking it as a chance to suck in a nervous breath - and then leans forward and tries to slip onto the Altaria's back.

She gets in place, resting a hand on either side of the base of Aoi's neck, looking dead ahead into nothing really for a few seconds - she tries to feel the rush in her heard and her brain as an amusing tickle. As if she hadn't already done things at least as dangerous as this - things that weren't even fun at the same time, as this ought to be; she was about to be taken by a giant cloud-bird on an aerial ride!

Another smile twitches into her face, and she at Aoi again, then Ushio.]

Ready...!

[Action]

[alonelyworld]

[Ushio grins at Clementine and takes a few steps back.]

Alright, Aoi. Use Fly and give Clementine a fun, safe ride.

[And with just a few powerful wingbeats, the Altaria calls out and carries Clementine up into the sky! She seems to be taking it slowly, not wanting to frighten the young girl on her back. Occasionally she'll do a little dip or dive just to spice things up a little, though.

Meanwhile, Ushio's watching from the ground, smiling up at them.]
