Some people crash two or three times
And then learn from their mistakes
And then learn from their mistakes
Koa is flying a...
...uh...
...Well, it was supposed to be a kite, but that's being generous. After a very stupid argument with his sister over absolutely nothing, the young man had stormed out with the beginnings of the thing, loudly declaring that he'd make a kite all on his own, thank you very much.
That was days ago. What has resulted in that time is nothing short of a monstrosity. Haphazardly shaped and covered in patches, it's painfully asymmetrical and as aerodynamic as an elephant. Even Pipsqueak the Flightless Wonder seems unimpressed by the thing, her little lizard head tilting back and forth as she trills notes of perplexed disappointment in her bonded's work. "No, I didn't need to ask Noe to fix it," Koa snaps in response, glaring between Pip and the homunculus. "This is fine. It'll fly fine. It just needs.... a couple... oh, fuck!"
There's now a hole in the middle of the kite, where a hole definitely shouldn't be.
Looking up abashedly, Koa checks to see if anyone has noticed his outburst. Fortunately most of those gathered at the Rise seem occupied with their own lovely days (and functional kites), though one woman is still in the building process. Biting his lips and waffling immensely, Koa finally succumbs to Pip's mocking chortles and decides to approach the stranger. "Hey! Uh, you wouldn't happen to have some extra supplies, would you?" The poor vaguely tetrahedral donut is raised up beneath Koa's bashful grin. "We've had a bit of an accident. Could use medical attention."

But we are the ones who don't slow down at all
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall
