"Of course. Unless you want to finish up here first? I can wait."

Besides, there was much else to talk about. Her interest was always keen whenever he realted the events and stories of the past year, but it perked up all the more when he described the Fae. They'd been no more than stories to her, childrens tales so warped and twisted that the things Jigano talked about seemed positively normal in comparison.
"It sounds wonderful, to have wings," she said, a little wistful at the thought. "To be able to fly wherever you want, take off into the sky and not come down again..." She thought of Adam's shift, the little blackbird that had swooped in to greet her the moment she stepped out of the portal. She wondered too what secrets Peter might have gained... she couldn't quite recall if he'd mentioned what gifts Safrin had bestowed on him.
"I'd take flying over the portals any day. I was not too fond of the experience... the space between there and here was... strange." Falling in beside Jigano, she kept his pace as they walked off towards the Settlement and the guildhall.
