Alea
would you like to play a game?
"I can fly too!" Alea pipes up as Felix suggests flying down to get the water. "Watch!"
She changes into her owl form, clasps her talons around the handle of Felix's bucket, and ... completely fails to take off. Even empty, the bucket is too heavy for Alea's owl form; she's unaccustomed to lifting anything heavier than a mouse or even a rabbit.
Changing back, she sits beside the bucket with a pout, only to cheer up as she discovers that Ronin has a more feasible idea. "That works too!"
Eagerly, she takes the rope-tied bucket from Ronin and tosses it into the Drop, grinning at the sound of it splashing into the water below.
