you can throw me if you want

[truthwright]

It turns out that there was really not much point to making a schedule. Kas and Helen visit the witch clan whenever Helen feels like it, and stay as long as she wants, and go when she wants to be somewhere else, and it all adds up to plenty more time spent with the clan than away.

After the aquarium jaunt with Ranata, it's a little more than a month before they visit the clan again.

She giggles. "I won't!"

[alicornucopia]

"Good." Forehead-kiss.

[carillons]

Hug. Hug hug hug hug hug hug hug. Also, hug.

[alicornucopia]

All the hugs.

When she un-dizzies, she races off to find Shura.

[alicornucopia]

Shura is in her grandma's house, reading a storybook.

[carillons]

"Shura Shura Shura I can flyyyyyy," says Helen.

[alicornucopia]

"Lucky, I still have to wait!"

[carillons]

"When you can fly too we should fly together!" says Helen.

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah!" agrees Shura. "We can go way out over the ocean and swoop around the big waves!"

[carillons]

"Yeahhh," says Helen, beaming. "It'll be fun! Tell your mom to hurry up and take you to the cloudpine place!"

[alicornucopia]

"She says in two months," grumbles Shura.

[carillons]

"Awww." Helen hugs her. "Wanna come flying on mine?"

[alicornucopia]

"I dunno, are you gonna drop me? You just started."

[carillons]

"We can go only a little bit and not very high," she says, "and then I'll learn how to not drop you, and then later I can fly you more!"

[alicornucopia]

"Okay," says Shura, finding this satisfactory, and she puts down her book.

[carillons]

And off they go onto Helen's cloudpine, and their feet dangle not very high off the ground at all, and Helen flies her around the clan grounds.

[alicornucopia]

Wheee!

"I can't wait to do this myself," chatters Shura.

[carillons]

"It's lots of fun!"

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah! I bet it's better at night."

[carillons]

"I'll try it at night when night happens and then I'll see!"

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah! It's almost dinner time now."

[carillons]

"It will be night soon and then I will be flying at night!"

[alicornucopia]

"Yeah! Flying under the staaaaars."

[carillons]

Helen giggles delightedly.
