Charlotte silently followed Himeko through town. She was pretty sure she had already failed at the 'drawing no attention' thing, but it was probably not exactly the best idea to point that out. The walk was pleasant, at least. It gave Charlotte a few minutes to jot down a few notes in her notebook regarding a few new species of Flora that she hadn't seen before. Hm. She'd have to see if they had any good alchemical properties at some point. A few rough sketches and small notes later she was standing in the field with Himeko.

[color=a187be]"...they are pretty, aren't they?"[/color] Charlotte replied. [color=a187be]"Shame there are no Moonflowers here."[/color] She rubbed the back of her head, gaze lingering on the flowers for a moment. [color=a187be]"...I didn't see much of them either, back where I grew up. Aside from the greenhouse or the snow flowers that grew on the craggy cliffs of the mountains."[/color] She fell silent for a moment as if remembering something unpleasant before shaking her head. [color=a187be]"but never mind that, yes, lets get going."[/color]

She let Himeko pick her up, bracing herself for the incoming flight as she wrapped her arms around the Tengu's neck. Hum, curious. She'd be able to observe the wings from here - sort of. She'd need a view of them from the back to figure out how they worked in practice. Well, no matter, she'd find out soon enough - 

And in the next instant, she was in the air.

It was beautiful.

Not like the clear skies of Astril, either. The skies there were quite beautiful, if one could get past the frigidness. The Aurora, stars and skies...she had never been this high up in a scenery that wasn't arctic or tundra before.

[color=a187be]"South west."[/color] She replied to Himeko's question. [color=a187be]"Should be there - I've heard it was a fairly large city so we should see it from some distance away."[/color]
