Onyx finished with her task just as quickly as she had thought she would. Returning to her den, she found Tarentek in his room. "Um, I'm not too sure about your people, but taking a nap isn't exactly preparing to leave in my opinion." She spoke jokingly, waiting for him at the door. "Are you ready to go? You don't need a moment to gather your thoughts before we fly? Or is that what you were doing?" Still joking, she didn't really wait for him to respond, she just kept talking as she led him outside. 

Once they were outside she asked again, serious this time. "[i]Are[/i] you ready? I was serious earlier about what I said about me dropping you if you move too much. If you panic then I might not be able to keep us both in the sky, and I won't apologize either."
