Nova
She wasn't fragile like a flower.
Nova didn't need the alarm further breaking her thoughts. With the compulsion already broken, her instincts clutched to the magic holding her upright, blocking out the Attuned bond that threatened to panic her. But Noah's commotion sent her reeling back, coughing through the bit of smoke being shoved into her face by his wings.
Blonde curls whipped around as she raised her arm to protect her eyes, bracing until the moment passed and the wind settled to reveal the griffin crouched for her. She could have argued that she has her own shifts and magic to protect herself, but Nova only saw the opportunity to ride a griffin and her eyes turned bright. All thoughts of danger and mortal injury were buried in the thrill of Noah's shift, no hesitation in the chime of her voice, "Okay!"
Her hands reached for his mane, pulling herself up and onto his back with an excited giggle. Birds were forgotten for adventure.

She was fragile like a bomb.
