( @ancmalias ) | starter call
she’d taken to a patrol of sorts, every few hours. her wings would
sprout & off she would fly -- circling around the nearby area almost
like a VULTURE. after all that had happened, ( all that could happen ),
her way of protecting their home didn’t seem quite as silly as it might
have otherwise. Steven had tried several times to convince her that
she didn’t need to do it, but it was no use. ❛ angels ❜ could not be held
down ; her wings could not be clipped.
for the first time, her little scouting CAUGHT someone.
the sight of her floating down from the sky, liquid wings gliding on the
air, would be odd for anyone who wasn’t a resident of the city. yet,
she wasn’t sure she could describe the stranger’s face as awe-struck,
like Steven’s had been the first time he saw her wings. she honestly
wasn’t sure what to make of him.
❝ what are you doing on this side
of the beach? ❞
her wings flapped briskly, sending a mist of water in all directions.
❝ we don’t mind visitors, but I need
to know whether you’re friendly
or not. ❞
& the thought crossed her mind, that he better have hoped he was
friendly -- she didn’t have the patience to exercise much RESTRAINT
on a foe.
