 [Color=hotpink]”So, how did you do that,”[/color] Sally asked as she held her hand out in the open air, indicating his newfound ability of flight. 

Api’s quick mind went through a list of possible answers from the research into gravity theory and theoretical drives to “I’m an Elf” but the situation with Sally a delicate one so he settled on….

[color=seagreen]”I found out why I couldn’t fly by thinking about it and the funny thing is I have flown before when I wasn’t thinking about it so I gave up on overthinking it. 

Don’t think I no longer think of it because I do but now I think about it in the same way you or I think about walking, I don’t dwell on the mechanics of it.”[/color] he says fixing her with a smile

Sally's lips parted and formed an 'o' shape as she listened to Api try to explain how he could fly now. It made sense, and she had to admit, she was the kind of person that thought too hard about somethings that really didnt require much thought. Maybe that was why she was so bad at math. Maybe she over thought about the problems, and they were actually very simple. But, Api had figured out how to do it, and keep doing it. His smile was infectious, and made her smile, the action reaching her eyes this time. 

[Color=hotpink]"That's awesome. I'm glad you figured that out. You've got more control than I do."[/color] Sally then looked down at herself and chuckled. [Color=hotpink]"When I get strong enough, I'll be able to lift people, but I don't think myself. I don't think it'll work against the user,"[/color] she replied with a slight shrug and smile.

Api's eyes sparkled with delight that Sally smiled, pretty girls should do it more he thought.
[color=seagreen]"Your ability as I mentioned before is like mine in some ways and if that is true then all you need is practice; why I'd hazard that you too could fly if you tried. 

I'd love to show you the joy of the freedom of the sky[/color] he says his tone garnished with laughter held in check

Api liked these people even if they worried him a bit..... but wasn't that the way it always was when meeting new people?

Sally laughed and looked down at the destruction she had caused earlier, her smile faltering a bit. She suddenly felt like her power was too much for her. Like she wouldn't ever be able to control it. Quickly looking back at Api at the mention of him showing her "the freedom of the sky" a new spark twinkled in her eyes. The thought of seeing the world from up above sounded amazing. 

A blush crept up on her cheeks as she looked up to the sky, a smile slowly parting her lips. Sally looked back down meeting Api's eyes. [Color=hotpink]"I would love that Api, but unfortunately, I'm terrified of heights."[/Color] The thought saddened her, but she didn't let it show. It would be amazing though, to be able to go up there without the fear.

[color=seagreen]"I remember being afraid  of something it was the rings. It wasn't the height I've never had a fear of heights it was the fact that mistakes can dislocate a shoulder; 6 times I have do that not to mention other body parts. Like everyone I don't like pain emotional or physical and let the thought I can be hurt slow me down or fill me with doubt then I remember I am mortal and my time here too short to spend part of it hiding from things."[/color]

Sally couldn't help but smile while she listened to Gunnar talk. He was so philosophical and seemed so full of wisdom beyond his years. He was actually quite refreshing to talk to, and he made her think. Not just think, but really, really think about things. He had done things that scared him, because, even though he was afraid, knew he only had one life to live. Why waste it being afraid? 

Sally bit her lip and smiled. She was really debating on letting him take her, but in the end, her fear still won. [Color=hotpink]"I'll make you a deal, Gunnar,"[/color] she said as she turned her attention to him, grinning. [Color=hotpink]"When I gain control of my ability, and am no longer afraid of it... I'll let you take me up there."[/color]

Api felt the mischievous self try and twist her words and his tongue but kept that one at bay knowing it was both incorrect and inappropriate but couldn't keep the knowing smirk from his expression. Her's wasn't an unusual fear, many people feared falling but when you are a rings specialist falling is part of learning as was pain.
[color=seagreen]"I would like that in fact I recommend it  in the beginning encase you loose concentration and start to fall. Yours I think doesn't come with a builtin parachute. I discovered back home and at sea mine  protects me instinctively; I think because I have instincts from gymnastic where falling on ones face is common"[/color]

Sally let out a genuine, full bellied laugh, even wrapping her arms around her bare stomach. She shook her head in response and stood up straight, wiping a tear from her eye. [Color=hotpink]"No, mine does not come with a built in parachute. Besides,"[/color] she continued as she looked at Api, her smile still in place. [Color=hotpink]"my ability is more or less picking other things and people up. Like I said, I doubt I'd be able to make myself fly... but I'llbe more than happy to let you take me for a joyride when this doesn't happen by accident anymore."[/color] Sally held her hand out, indicating the torn up ground once again. Despite the reminder, she still smiled, feeling genuinely better about the situation.

Api chuckles enjoying the fact he has accomplished another goal and that was making Sally not worry so much.
[color=seagreen]"You'll never fly if you doubt your wings"[/color] he pauses looking at the ground scar because it is still trying to hold her.
[color=seagreen]"What was is written in stone and only worn away by time, the future is a dream and I'd rather be a dreamer"[/color] he says looking into her eyes
[color=seagreen]"Want pastry and coffee?
My treat"[/color]

Sally mentally repeated his first comment in her head.  She didn't doubt her wings. In fact, She was quite positive she didn't have any. A smile pulled at her lips and she raised an eyebrow. [Color=hotpink]"Perhaps, You can be my wings one day, Gunnar."[/Color] And there he went again, with his wisdom, though he had a point. Sally sighed and was about to inform Api that she was going to continue her run, when he mentioned food. 

Her blue eyes quickly glanced up at his and lit up. She could eat, yeah. And coffee? She'd need it to get her homework done tonight. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about it, and would have to finish it later. Assuming she'd be able to. Sally was a terrible procrastinator. [Color=hotpink]"Know what... that sounds really good,"[/color] she replied with a bright smile.

Api walked with Sally towards the old brick buildings and hopefully a new friendship
