[color=B3E3E4]Bowyn rolled his eyes and shrugged as both Rue and Arn seemed shocked by his suggestion to threaten the well-being of the Helius. Apparently, he was the only one in their group willing to be more than a little petty. It wasn’t as if anyone would be seriously injured if it broke down before it hit the skies. There was no issue bringing the wolf aboard the Helius and that, unfortunately,  meant they were all headed aboard the flying death trap.

[color=1BEFF2]“Trying to make friends by buying them, will only gain you leeches, [i]Mister Arn[/i].”[/color] Bowyn said to the dwarf as they passed the man taking tickets. He more or less believed the dwarf when he explained his offer was to ensure they remained traveling companions. Not because it seemed like a logical thing to do, quite the opposite, but Arn was so sincere that it seemed impossible to believe the dwarf was able to look someone in the eye and tell a convincing lie. [color=1BEFF2]“You’re stuck with us for now Arn, but if you keep calling me Mister, folks might start to assume you’re some kind of butler rather than an important soldier who has business with important elves.“[/color] The dwarf was both a soldier and on his way to meet with a light elf princess, this was more than enough to keep Bowyn interested in what Arn was up to. 

Bowyn hesitated for a moment before he crossed the threshold into the Helius. It felt just as cramped as he had thought it would. Too many people. Not enough space. Once the machine took off there wouldn’t be any way back out of it until it landed. More people piled into the machine and then it rumbled to life. The rickety contraption vibrated with the engine, all of its movements were jarring and unsteady. It was nothing like flying with one’s own wings; there was no feeling of absolute freedom, no gentle push from the wind, and it was far from smooth and graceful. The Helius had windows that were kept closed and the air inside was stale. The windows seemed to exist only to remind everyone how high up they all were and that the entirety of their fates depended upon this machine functioning properly. [/color]
