"This?  This is nothing!  I've flown in hurricanes worse than this! "

For a moment,  Aegis forgets her ire towards her uncle as she grins during the boast. It's a bold claim, but given that Aegis is a Golem and not a Harpy, Marcus gets the feeling that the boast isn't idle.

"Flown, yeh!  Flown straight down, maybe!" Arlo laughs, prompting a good-natured laugh from Bree and Mz. Dewar. Surprisingly, Aegis gives a short laugh herself.

"We'll see about that, curlycue!" She says, smiling at him.

"Ye'd best get going, young mistress," Bree shouts. "T'aint gonna get any better soon!"

"You're right," Aegis says, looking to Marcus. "All right, let's get going!"

She takes a short running start and leaps into the air. True to her word, her wings pump powerfully and she steers into the storm's direction, cutting into the buffeting wind and using it to her advantage. The wind isn't a gale, but it's strong enough that Marcus can see that any avian with less than excellent flying abilities and a moderate weight would be hopelessly knocked away.

"All right, hurry up!" She shouts down, barely audible.
