He pulled her up some. "Zeus doesn't care really." He scooted back a little and let her sit where he was sitting. "Hook your legs on his wings so you don't fly backward." Go slow please. Zeus lifted off immediately, almost straight up.

¤ She fell backward into him as soon as Zeus took off, she tried to hold steady but ended up closing her eyes and cowering backward. ¤ ((Yeah she did not like that))

Ethan was kind of holding on for dear life, slightly taken aback when she landed in his arms. He wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her steady. Zeus! Zeus immediately flattened out. He pulled himself and her forward. "You okay?"

¤ She nodded frantically, her eyes still tightly shut. She chanced a glance downward and seemed to jump a little. ¤ "We- are- really high up." ¤ She seemed to have trouble speaking, frightened out of her right mind. ¤

"Afraid?" He teased gently and hooked his legs on Zeus's wings. Why would you do that? He was mildly angry. I'm trying to get on her good side! Zeus hesitantly responded to him. I'm just playing. But I think she is already. He looked back at them. He narrowed his eyes. "Zeus is usually a good flier, but we should keep lower, the clouds are rolling in." He called out a little louder so Zeus could hear him. The sky was darkening. Zeus gently angled himself down till they were around the height of a large oak.

"In all honesty, I am petrified." ¤ She closed her eyes again, trying to calm down. She didn't try to force his hand away, or anything of the sort. She sort of just- sat there. Trying not to die. ¤

He smiled a little, I hate you sometimes, Zeus flew a little faster to beat the storm. "It doesn't look like we'll beat the storm." They had flown far enough that the school was leaving sight. The trees had become nearer and closer between, the land greener than ever. Thankfully it was hot that day. He peered into the distance, a fence! "We'll be fine."

"Okay. Good. Thats great." ¤ She opened her eyes and looked around, calming down some. ¤ "Once you get over the whole almost dying thing- its really pretty." ¤ She sighed. ¤

"Its very nice to fly, yeah." He tilted his head, loosening his grip on her to look at the ground behind them, having no issue leaning over Zeus mid-flight. Zeus was gliding as they passed the fence.

¤ She tensed as he loosened his grip. She glanced back at him, worriedly. Then she looked around where they were going. It really was beautiful, she had to admit, whether terrified of falling from this height or not. ¤
