- "Young man!"
- Sora turned as he heard Macy's voice. "Yeah? What's up?"
- "You are not leaving that young lady to fly across the world alone! I've already spoken to Cody. You two are going with her!"
- "What?! But what about the village?!"
- "Verfal can take care of the village. You two are going to help that nice girl."
- "But you guys --"
- "-- can take care of ourselves. She, on the other hand, is a defenseless young girl."
- Sora turned away. That's when he saw Cody approaching at a light jog, a pack slung over his shoulder. "Hey, I'm ready to go. Me stuff's all packed."
- "But the village..."
- "You're coming too, right, Sora? Think of it as one of your games."
- Sora sighed and threw his hands up into the air. "Fine. Fine!" This was so un-fabulous. "We'll go help Dani. But if you guys get into any trouble, I'm gonna feel like complete shit!"
- "Excretement! You'll feel like excretement."
- "Sorry, Macy."
- Cody peeked into the tent. "'Ey, Dani."
- "Hey!" Dani perked up, smiling. "How's it going, Cody?"
- "Pretty good. Sora's just getting packed now, we'll be ready to leave soon. You know how to paddle a canoe, right?"
- Dani giggled. "Don't worry! We won't need one!"
- Sora rolled up his hand-made (and quite glorious) clothes, tucking them carefully into a pack. Preserved food went in there, too, along with fishing reel and hooks. He was packing for a long journey, even though he didn't want to leave the village.
- But... he did want to help Dani.
- He shouldered his pack and walked outside. The entire village was out there - including Macy, Verfal and Belona - circled around the huge, six-legged dog which Dani called Krypto. Cody and Dani were already in his saddle.
- "C'mon, Sora!" Dani called out. "Up you get!"
- "I sure hope your dog can swim," Sora grumbled as he clambered up Krypto's flank.
- "Sky dog! He's a sky dog! And he doesn't swim - he flies!"
- "He... flies." Sora blinked as he got settled into the saddle. It was more like a basket, honestly. "He's a cool dog and all, but..."
- "Hey, Sora, we may as well wait and see how it goes," Cody shrugged. "It'd make a great piece if he really could fly."
- "I thought you only drew landscapes?"
- "I've been thinking of branching out."
- "I bet he'd love it if you painted him! C'mon, Krypto! Mush!" Dani leaned over to pet Krypto's neck, and the dog leapt into the air.
- They climbed in altitude, and both Sora and Cody were shocked.
- "Whoa now -"
- "- he's really flying!"
- "Told ya!" Dani chirped, and grinned. "Just lean back and enjoy the flight!"
