[sfw] ❀ Wings Room ❀

[awuka]

[The new witch's house they found had been a huge success! Alluka got a good night's rest that night, exhausted from casting her first spell. She hoped it would get easier with time, feeling particularly optimistic as she tucked into bed.

The next day, Alluka has another menu item on her plate. Beaming with the eyes of an explorer, she keeps bugging Killua over breakfast to take her to that weird, feathery door that resembled an angel's wing. He convinces her to wait until breakfast is over, but assures her they can go. Before they leave, she dips into her walk-in closet and comes out clad in an ethereal green fairy tutu dress with pink accents and small rosettes. The front of the skirt is adorned with flowery vines. Today, she feels more connected to fae than usual, so the choice comes naturally to her. She grabs her cat bag with two potions and snacks for later and slings it over her shoulder before they head out.

Killua insists on opening the door first, of course. Alluka holds her breath, her hand squeezing Killua's to keep him from getting sucked in. The other side is a beautiful pasture with distant hills and mountains lining the backdrop. Just barely visible are huge trees on either side of the meadow that pierce the sky.]

Ooooh, I wonder what this leads to?

[Observing curiously, her eyes glitter when she sees his freshly sharpened weapons. She's seen them a few times, but hasn't yet considered their utility.]

I wish I could do that!

[However, he rolls back to the previous method. Slightly disappointed, she nods and kneels down to unbuckle her pink mary janes.]

'Kay. Just gimme a second..

*killua snorts, lightly flicking her forehead with his dulled finger.* no you don't.

*while she sorts out her shoes, he kicks off his sandals and spreads his wings, taking to the sky again. he flies a wide circle over the lake, eyes trained down below its surface, looking for any darker spots that would indicate deep caves for fish to hide in. he returns to his sister's side in a gust of flapping wings, pointing behind him.*

looks like it's deeper on the other side!

[She stops for a second to look up at the majestic silhouette of her brother flying overhead, then resumes, pulling off her shoes and socks and setting them neatly on the flattened earth.

The dirt and fresh air feels freeing to her previously cramped toes. Spreading them out, she realizes just how sore the sides of her feet had gotten from her brand new shoes. Usually, she wears her berry boots which are well-worn. It's a pointed reminder to break in her footwear before taking it to new rooms.

She stretches out her legs before Killua comes back to her, and she looks where his finger is pointing. She nods and runs around the lake, bending over to see all the little fish-shaped shadows swishing about the surface. Alluka takes a careful step into the cool water and a shiver runs up her spine. Her feet are typically kept warm and cozy by her boots and socks, so it takes her a moment to get used to it.]

Chilly--!

*laughing, killua stoops to bunch up the cuffs of his pants as he chases her around the lakeside. he steps in behind her, letting the cold water pool around his bare ankles before shuffling through it toward the deep spot he'd scouted.*

see this shadow right here? reach down in there and see if you can grab a fish.
