Haai, meanwhile, grows dizzy and pants within the heat – wings splayed along the ground as she tries to follow where the wisp had gone. And when she thinks she has an idea, she bounds – swaying – to follow it.

They reach a small stone gate of sorts, and reluctantly Sunjata leans into the kiss to his cheek, before he snorts – bending down to reluctantly let her go to stand and explore on her own while his hand seeks out her own again. “A lot of work… But better than building from scratch and trying to get everything up here.” He says with a hint more of a serious tone, turning halfway to look back up the hill.
