It had seemed like a really good idea at the time. With the ziplines set up, Ariadne had immediately wanted to try them. Folding Paris in half and jumping off buildings to kick herself out of dream layers had made her itch to get off the ground again, to feel gravity clutching at her and doing her best to unstick herself from the earth's surface.
And it had been a hell of a lot of fun. The wind rushing past her, the weightlessness of flying through the air on the incline - she would have to do that again.
But Ariadne was a little out of shape. Well, maybe a lot out of shape. Being an architecture student didn't demand much more than her daily strolls across Paris, and she'd never been the sort to go to the gym. Holding herself up as she zoomed through the air had left her arms feeling like limp spaghetti. And she'd stumbled once as she came off the end of the line and fallen on her ass.
"Everything hurts," she observed, trying yet again to find a comfortable position on the couch. It definitely did not come out as a whine.
