we belong wherever we want to be
Aurelia’s ears twitch as the air flows through them. My name’s Aurelia! She pipes up to him, raising her voice even though she doesn’t need to. She offers a light-hearted chuckle across the bond as she presumes a superhero-esque pose, in the form of a red panda no less.
For a few important moments, Aurelia and Harper will find that they both enjoy the sensation of almost-flying in much the same manner. Perhaps she doesn’t have his history with trapeze that would feed into a sense of nostalgia and longing but, she’s never felt anything quite like this before. And suddenly she understands why in the world he’d be doing this in the middle of the jungle to begin with! It’s thrilling in ways that prickle her pelt and send tingles down to the tips of her claws. It’s… addicting, makes her want more, makes her want to test the limits.
So when Harper agrees without a fraction of hesitation to her idea, she smiles broadly. Well, she smiles - the panda form of hers simply appears very excited, its expression softening and ringed tail wriggling around. But maybe he can feel the smile with her bond. She wonders absently what a smile feels like, when it’s felt in such a way.
But then he’s instructing her and her mind has to race to catch up to meet the moment with open arms. Or paws. Open paws!
She’s thrown into the air, and she comes so close to the canopy that leaves tickle against her back. For a few brief seconds, the sky is the limit, gravity couldn’t possibly hold her, and an excited chirp warbles through her lungs. The moment ends just as soon as it begins and, as the pull of gravity tips her back down towards the ground, she feels an instinctual panic alight every fiber of her being. Her fur bristles and she becomes a dark red bush descending through the air with flailing paws.
That is, she would, except for the fact that Harper is back and almost immediately catching her.
Woaahhh! She says amidst the rush of it all, feeling her gut drop and rise again. For a moment, she’s getting her bearings again, and suddenly her words tear across their connection, That was incredible! You’re amazing, Harper! Where did you learn how to do this?
