"....Jesus fuck, they're taking their time about it! Oh, sorry, Stormi. Didn't mean to swear in front of you." She snorts a little. "I've heard worse. The winds carry whispers and words, from insults to loving moans, and I get to hear them all." I sit there in silence, wondering how that must feel. "I reckon it's lunch time in about half an hour. Until then, we can practice, uhh..." My mind goes blank. "I know! What if you bailed out..." Stormi shifts over a little towards me, "...and you didn't have a parachute? I think you could hold on to me...but you'd have to hold on really tight..." She turns around to face me, practically sitting in my lap, and rests her head on my chest. The feeling is not one that I'm used to, but it's not unpleasant. I hesitate for a moment, then wrap my arms around her. 'This was gonna come some day,' I thought to myself. 'You knew that helping her get back in the air would make her like you. You knew this was gonna happen someday. You knew, yet you kept on channeling Spirit Energy through your skin whenever she touched you. You know how Sylphs are. You gotta face it.' I adjusted myself a little, and a glint caught my eye. I released my right arm and fabricated a pair of binoculars. Stormi looks up at me, curious why the mood changed. I raise the binoculars to my eyes and spot the barrel of a gun rising over a distant hill. As I watch, the entire Sabbath camp slowly makes its way along the hill, and I see Yumi and Lilith hovering above, like sentinels. "Well, I reckon they'll get here in about thirty minutes. Say, we could negotiate over lunch. Hey, ICARUS, you picked up anything yet?"  "So that's why. Huh. Check the GPS, how close are we to the borders between Order-controlled and monster-controlled territory?"  I sigh and jiggle a bit, indicating that Stormi should get off my lap. Just the tiniest hint of an erection is starting to appear, and I shake away the thoughts. Twisting around, I begin to climb down the tree and hit the ground. Fabricating a tent, I crawl inside and wait for the imminent legion.
