Hibiscus nodded and spread her wings. "Thanks, Jun." She tested her wings, flapping them twice to warm them up, and leaped into the air.Kassa and Kal joined Juniper, goofily following her and Hibiscus through the cavern.
The night air was humid, but not nearly as stifling as the cave.
Jun stretched her wing, clenching her talons in the coarse sand. "Kal, Kass- go catch up to Vel, please. Hibiscus, you may join them if your looking to stretch. Actually, it's probably been a while since you've had an opportunity to fly? Can you fly?"
Kassa saluted Jun, leaping into the air.
"Boys," Juniper called, "don't go too far! And bring Vel back, please!"
"Gotchu." Kal nodded, following Kassa into the night sky.
Juniper smiled, watching the ridiculous pair spiral in unison. "Hi, I'll follow on talon, you should join them. Don't let me stop you. They're not going far anyway."
Oh, the feeling.
It'd been at least two years since she'd been able to properly fly, and at Juniper's words she almost worried that she wouldn't be able to. But instinct took over and the air soared beneath her wings as she flew, each flap carrying her farther and farther from the ground. Glee sparked in her chest and she did a little flip, pausing briefly to wave at Juniper's small shape.
Hibiscus twisted midair, relishing the burn of her under-used wings, and followed Kal and Kass into the desert night.
