"I'd say my brother agrees," Andy commented. "He saw you flying once."
"It wouldn't be fair to not show myself to humans from time to time. Everyone needs some beauty in their life."
"Would you believe it that when I expressed a similar sentiment, after professor Maple said "I see you finally showed yourself again", her reaction was a glare and "get back to work"?"
Netherlu gasped and took Andy's shoulder. "She should feel blessed to have you around."
"I told her that! Then she sent her Haunter after me."
Netherlu laughed.

He knew he could sleep, although he wasn't sure what time it was. On the other hand, it didn't matter. He turned to Eros. "I bet you never slept outside yet. Do you think you'll manage?"
