Elisa-garg's reality. Castle Wyvern. Alone on the battlement the day after halloween.

[random_xtras]

Icy shivered slightly as the cold autumn rain pattered down on her and trickled down her back, though she was oblivious to the chill. Her large eyes tracked the lights of the cars far below, then turned up to watch an airplane go over before closing as she softly murmured a prayer in the language of her birth. "(Master, keep my friend. Please help her to return to her roost soon. And comfort her mate and her clan.)"

She sighed and looked down again, her fine hair clinging sodden to her head, then unfurled her wings and poised to leap.

"Chiyoko," she nodded and smiled slightly, expanding her own giant wings.

[random_xtras]

The size of those wings earned her a wide-eyed look from the smaller girl, but then Icy shook herself like a dog, sending rainwater flying, and stepped once more to the edge of the wall.

"Fear not the wind. Believe in it, and let it take you soaring," she said gently, smiling.

[random_xtras]

"In the place where I was hatched the wind was our enemy." Icy turned her face to it as it gusted, fighting the instinctive urge to duck low and cling to something. "In the end it was what took me from everything I knew."

[sunstonewing.livejournal.com]

Chiyoko nods slowly. "Here is it our ally. Try to forget your fears, feal the warmth in the breeze. Let it first fill your mind and spirit, and it will always fill your wings."

"Or I could simply give you a good shove," Guinevere said, as she approached the other two new Clan members. She thought for a moment, then spoke again. "I am sorry. That was not very funny. I do not think I should be listening to Brooklyn when trying to appreciate humor."

[random_xtras]

Icy squeaked and looked up at her friend, then shook her head gravely. "He is only funny when Katana has embarrassed him."

Then she blinked as the rain stopped sprinkling and came down in sheets. "Whoops?"

"It would seem that you broke a cloud," the femme chuckled, looking up and sheltering herself with her wings. Perhaps it is not a good night to fly."

[wingsofdestine.livejournal.com]

Guinevere let the rain fall on her for a moment, before seeking some shelter under her own wings.

"I agree. Perhaps we might try... what did Elisa call it? A 'girl's night in?' Though I am not certain I know what that means."

[random_xtras]

Icy looked up curiously, unfazed by the rain. Then she nodded. "Alright. We can do that."

[sunstonewing.livejournal.com]

"I do not know what that is," Chiyoko admits, blinking and then extending her wing to shelter the tiny Gargoyle.

"I think it has something to do with large amounts of food and movies that make us cry," Guinevere volunteered.

[random_xtras]

Icy peers up from under the wing, her big eyes rounding. "Why would we want to cry?"

[sunstonewing.livejournal.com]

"I am also confused," Chiyoko looked at her curiously.

[wingsofdestine.livejournal.com]

Guinevere shrugged. "I cannot explain it. I only know that I saw it on TV once. Perhaps it makes sense to humans."

[random_xtras]

"I like to watch movies," said Icy thoughtfully, catching her tail and playing with the tuft. "And I could eat...."

[sunstonewing.livejournal.com]

"I will try this custom as well. Perhaps its meaning will reveal itself," Chiyoko said thoughtfully.

[wingsofdestine.livejournal.com]

"Then, Sisters, let us avail ourselves of the kitchen."

[random_xtras]

"Okay!" chirped Icy, then shot out from under Chiyoko's wing and headed for the door, not flinching at all as the rain turned to stinging sleet.

[sunstonewing.livejournal.com]

Chiyoko scowled. She hated this fould weather, and hurried inside after her friends.

[wingsofdestine.livejournal.com]

Guinevere did not especially like or dislike the rain; she saw no point in wasting her emotions on the elements. Nevertheless, she did not hesitate to follow the others inside toward the kitchen.

Once there, she considered their options. "What should we have? It may have to be something simple... I have not yet mastered these 'appliances.'"

[random_xtras]

Icy was standing with the fridge open, chewing thoughtfully on a celery stick that she hadn't washed. "There is a cooked bird in here, and much of that sliced meat of various kinds. And cake...." She leans over and pokes a package. "I do not know what this is, but it smells good. And here is something in a bottle."

[sunstonewing.livejournal.com]

"I am not familiar yet with what the humans of this region eat," Chiyoko said. "Is there fish?"

[wingsofdestine.livejournal.com]

"That sounds like enough to me," Guinevere said. "I do not remember there being... Wait. I believe there is something, "tuna" in cans in that cupboard."

[random_xtras]

"The sardines taste better," said Icy around her celery as she took the other foods out of the fridge and set them on the floor. The 'something in a bottle' was a nice blush wine.
