There weren’t many things that could turn Ronan’s stomach to butterflies, but sneaking out in the dead of night to go flying with his best (only) friend? That definitely did it for him. Of course, Shiloh didn’t know they were going to be flying, but that was part of the fun in his mind. Shiloh wouldn’t have agreed to come with him if he started with that, after all.
Ronan had quietly crept out of his temporary nest with Enni, careful to not wake her. He was astounded he’d made it out, usually there wasn’t any type of stealth that could make it past his sister. Once he was out of earshot, he breathed a sigh of relief and let his muscles relax. Now for part two of his master plan – get Shiloh on board.
Stretching out his wings fully, he took off flying high up above the clouds. It was safer that way – he’d argue to himself. That would be his defense if Enni happened to catch him. Heading in the direction of Shiloh’s house, he zoomed through the sky. This was his favorite state of being, although he could feel more and more feathers start to poke through his skin. He argued it was because Enni never let him fly enough – that was the reason why his control over shifting sucked. Nonetheless, he had arrived. Diving down, he landed right at Shiloh’s front door. He prayed that his friend’s roommates would still be awake, it was quite late after all. Hmm, maybe he should have thought this through more. Ronan pulled his wings flat against his back and tried to focus on withdrawing all of his excess feathers that had littered his face and body.
Nerves almost getting the better of him, Ronan willed himself to lightly knock on the door. It took a few minutes, but eventually the door opened, and he was greeted by Shiloh’s roommate Remi. Recognizing him as Shiloh’s friend, Remi lead him inside to Shiloh’s room. Ronan briefly thanked him before moving to wakeup Shiloh, gently shaking him.
–“Shiloh! Shiloh wake up!”, Ronan yelled softly. He wanted to wake up Shiloh, not the entire house. “I saw this incredible old amusement park the other day we have to go check out!! It’s gonna be so much fun Shiloh!”
