Apparently, Blackwood was as good at flying as he was at making tea.

Speaking of which, Nate was still waiting on that cuppa.

With a snap of his fingers, the boy shimmered and disappeared into the night sky. A moment after, a velvet cushion seemed to swoop in, giving Alistair a proper seat before a comical parachute deployed amid the return of the [i]God Save the King[/i] fanfare.

It was all an illusion of course, save for that Nate really was slowing the man's fall. The imp was just trying to play it off as no big deal, when in fact Alistair's arse was exceptionally heavy. Probably no surprise, that.

Luckily, it wasn't a long descent. The man floated down like a feather toward where the Golden Boy seemed to be finishing up the last of Hitler's men.

Meanwhile, the illusionary lad talking with Mad Jack continued as though nothing were happening. [color=lime]"You'll have to excuse the Lord Blackwood. He does have a flair for the dramatic,"[/color] the illusion lamented.

Because, clearly, it was Alistair who was the dramatic one of the pair.
