Zira had been preening alone in the apartment, while Crowley was off doing...whatever it was Crowley did, during the day. If he wasn't sleeping, Zira wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know what the demon was up to. In any case, he felt a little thrill when Sonya buzzed up. "Coming down, my dear," he answered the buzz, and though his wings fluttered restlessly, he made his way down on foot. "Greetings, dear," he smiled as he approached. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Even Sonya's eye noticed he was as anxious to be in the air as she was. "Aziraphale,good afternoon. First thing's first," She held up a hand. " eighty-six the 'dear', I know you're just being polite but I'd rather you'd just call me 'Blade' if that's the case. Tsung's the only one who calls me 'dear', anyone else makes me feel like I'm at court and trying to be talked into someone's plans." She relaxed. "We may want to just go to the top of the building, or just somewhere to avoid any witness." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I can take care of witnesses, mute their thoughts, so they don't really notice. It's the only meddling I'll do, and for their own good, mostly." Zira nodded, and began to lead the way to the stairs that would take them to the roof. "I'm afraid it's habit, Miss Blade. I'll try, and you're quite welcome to smack me when I slip up, I'll certainly get the message faster, that way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She kept up with his stride. "True, though I'll confess into believing that 'muting their thoughts' isn't that hard. Even I'm able to mentally manipulate someone if they're weak enough on the inside, and I've only been studying sorcery for ten months." She couldn't help but grin. "Don't say so too soon, military training: I have a habit of hitting harder than I should." They were nearly to the top. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Being the gentleman that he was, Zira shifted back, allowing Sonya to reach the top before him. He followed her up to the roof, and stretched his arms before taking his shirt off to allow his wings to unfold. "I've a habit of being a bit stubborn, so I'm certain it'll all work out, in the end," he flashed a smile at her as his wings stretched to full span. "I must admit, my de-Miss Blade, it's been quite some time since I took time to fly. I do appreciate the suggestion, it's well over due." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya had no means of 'human' communication once in hawk form. She merely stood waiting while Zira stretched out his wings. "I normally don't get to either, I'm too much of a workaholic-or one by nature at any rate. Stubborn, maybe, but anyone who knows me will say that I'm the same way-if not more. I can't speak 'human' in hawk form, just to forewarn you." Then she began her own transformation. There was no incantation, potion or amulet: she simply closed her eyes, focusing on letting the transformation take place. In less than a minute, Sonya's form was surrounded by blue/green sparks of light. When the sparks burn out, there's a hawk where Sonya once stood, her feathers brown and white, but there's a slight green/blue sheen to them that appears when the light hits her feathers at an angle. The hawk lets out a shrill cry, stretching out her wings as she lifts herself up into the air, flying horizontal until she's completely off from the roof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Zira waited until the hawk was in full flight before letting himself drift off the roof, and into flight. He flapped his wings to get the wind underneath him and behind up, allowing him to soar with as much grace as the hawk herself. He smiled, as the wind rushed his face, as he felt weightless and carefree. He whooped and dive bombed several feet down, only to circle back up, and glide a bit on the air.

	Sonya herself..well she couldn't describe how she felt. The thrill of being in the air left her wordless in more ways than one. She couldn't really dive bomb, as much as she'd like to, her present form wasn't made for quick dive bomb recoveries. She did however tilt her wings to the left, swerving to the side. She's sent even higher as her wings hit a thermal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zira circled around, turned onto his back, and enjoying the weightlessness of flight. It wasn't that he was showing off, although if he were honest, he was a little, but he hadn't been in flight for so long, and his wings needed the expercise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If she'd care, she might've been jealous at some of the feats the angel was able to perform, but flying was so exhilerating in of itself that she couldn't bring herself to feel jealousy. Sonya had been right about the conditions, though. The city in the summer was almost idealic for soaring in the air, the currents of hot air meant that she barely had to flap her wings at all, only adjust her wingspan to change direction. Currently she was having a fun time merely soaring in the air, watching the people in the streets as easily as if she were right next to them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zira could stay in flight for hours, quickly losing track of the time, especially on a day that seemed made for flight. After a time, he made his way back to the roof, and eased down to his feet. He shook off his wings, ut didn't fold them in right away. Much as a man after running, he needed to walk off some of the excess energy, before he could relax. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya tilted her wings, diving down back onto the roof-she was pleased to note that her lands have been improving. She could've flown a lot longer, but stopped out of fairness. Landing on the rooftop, the green/blue sparks appeared once more. In an instant, Sonya appeared, the adrenaline high forcing her onto her knees as soon as she became human. she huffed, catching her breath as she looked up at him, beaming.

	"My dear, I really..." Zira stopped, looked sheepish, smiled, and started over. "Miss Blade, I really must thank you for this afternoon. That was amazing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It took awhile for her to be able to stand up. "It's the least I could do," she started straighting her ponytail. "Allies in a strange place like this are a good thing. And I told you this is the first time I've literally flown with someone, so I'm not one to miss the chance. Tsung.." She can't help but grin. "His 'animal' form is the cobra, so no chance there."

"Indeed, my dear. You've an ally in me, for certain. And my...well, Crowley as well, whether he realises it or not. He's, well. I shouldn't speak for him, but if you were to meet him, and drop my name, I rather expect his tune would change completely. He's quite a lot of talk, but he's a big teddy bear, underneath it all, though I dare say he'd be unamused to know I said so." Zira looked down, and took a breath. Surely Sonya didn't want to hear all about Crowley. "In any case, you've given me the idea to ask my dear to go flying with me. He's somewhat like myself, you see." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

sonya_blade 2008-06-27 12:17 am UTC (link)

Crowley, the name sounded familiar. She ran the name through her head, saving it for a later note. She did though take a hint that when Aziraphale said he was involved, it was with this Crowley. "Sounds a little like Tsung, the only difference is that he's not a teddy bear on the inside. you can really never tell what's going on in his head, he'll deliberately train his features to deceive you into reading into him. I don't think he'd mind me telling you, it strokes his ego when there are stories of him." She sat down along the edge of the roof. "that's a good idea, I'd imagine that angels need to stretch their wings on occasion." She said nothing about how they were both male and in a relationship, certainly after what she's seen, it's not the worst thing a man could do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eastgateangel 2008-06-27 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"Most certainly," Zira nodded. "Your Tsung sounds like an intriguing man, despite his obvious short comings," he added with a little smile. "Rather like Crowley, it seems, in some ways, as the serpent does love to hear stories of himself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Shang Tsung, Sorcerer and self proclaimed Emperor of 'my' Earthrealm and Outworld...and for your sake don't mention anything about 'short comings' if he were to come here. I don't think he'd have any qualms about adding an Angel's soul to his collection of slaves." She does grin a little. "so long as they're stories that make people wary."

	"Yes, well," Zira leaned back, enjoying the warmth of the sun on his face. "Crowley is the original sin, in our world, you see." Despite being a low level demon, Crowley had his fair share of accomplishments, the latest of which was Zira himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

sonya_blade 2008-06-27 01:37 am UTC (link)

"Original sin?...you mean the Snake in the Garden?" She leaned in. " Tsung, he's managed to prolong his life for a thousand or so years by stealing the souls of his victims. So I suppose I do fear him, fear for my soul and that he can see into me: he knows my desires, my deep fears..the sides of me I try to hide." She stood up. " you feel like flying some more? I really shouldn't talk of such things like this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eastgateangel 2008-06-27 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"Indeed," Zira nodded, in answer to all issues. Crowley was in fact The Snake, some things shouldn't be voiced, and he was more than interested in flying a bit more. "If you should like, my dear, I could take the form of a bird." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonya_blade 2008-06-27 01:58 am UTC (link)
	If Sonya was surprised by his offer, she didn't show it. " you can change shape..of course.." She laughs " Angels can shapeshift too. Sure, what form of bird do you like." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Zira wasted no time changing his form, and lighting into the air, his eagle wings quickly catching the breeze and sending him soaring toward the sky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sonya soared up after him, letting the wind hit her wings and taking her up even higher. In someways, flying was better than sex to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eastgateangel 2008-06-27 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Zira had only recently discovered sex, but flying had always been a great high for him. In his common form, or as a bird, he gleened equal satisfaction and pleasure from it, though the sensations were slightly different, in each form. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonya_blade 2008-06-27 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Sonya tilted her wings, swerving to a more urban part of town. She found this especially fascinating, watching all the people and cars as she flew almost effortlessly. At this height and with the wind currents, she could simply glide and circle around without much flapping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eastgateangel 2008-06-27 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Zira effortlessly followed her lead, arcing down low to observe the scene, and darting back up swiftly, easily arcing above the treeline. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Unfortunately, as a hawk, there were some parts of her brain that wanted to hunt. Even more so that she wasn't used to going this long without seeing blood. In Earth realm and Outworld, she had actually hunted down criminals in either human or hawk form. so to especially be as a hawk and not hunt: it was an itch she couldn't scratch. Sonya swerved to the left, flying down a little lower and faster to try and override the urge to shed blood. (Reply to this)
