I can fly but I'm not a fucking horse.

[hackitude]

Whaaaaaaat

Don't Valkyries get flying horses anymore? What is the world coming to.

[valr]

Haven't had one of those for years. They kinda stick out.

[hackitude]

Boo. You should just have magical flying horses that can transform themselves into motorbikes whenever they need to be discreet.

[valr]

You watch too much TV.

[hackitude]

It's my fatal character flaw. I know.

[valr]

[siiiiiigh]

I'm outside.

[hackitude]

[Opening the door pronto. Not like she was waiting nearby. Or anything.]

Hey! You ready? Let's roll.

[valr]

You don't get airsick, do you?

[That's an interesting way to greet someone...]

[hackitude]

Nnnnnope. And thank god, since I... spend most of my time back home on a jet, actually.

[valr]

Good, 'cause I don't have a flying horse, but we're still taking a short cut to the teleporter.

[It's lucky she didn't bother with a jacket, because she's stretching out her wings and offering a hand to Skye.]

[hackitude]

[Okay but that's going to get you a wide-eyed disbelieving stare.]

... Holy shit you have wings.

[Thank you Captain Obvious.]

[valr]

How'd you know about the flying horses but not about the wings?

[hackitude]

I... forgot.

[valr]

Well, now you know. C'mon.

[She gestures at Skye, holding an arm out with the intention of wrapping it around her waist.]

[hackitude]

[Skye lets Kara pull her in, grinning.]

What, no seatbelts?

[valr]

Don't get smart, I ain't afraid to drop you.

[She would never.]

Just hold on.

[And with that, she takes off into the air. The good thing about getting a little helping hand from magic is that she doesn't need to fly properly, so she can stay upright, making it easier to keep hold of Skye.]

[hackitude]

[Skye gives off a little "Whoa!" of surprise as they take off, but it's still within normal conversation volume. Once they're up in the air, Skye looks around with wonder and glee.]

... Wow. ... Wow. This is amazing. I mean, I've flown in a jet before, but this is something else. Oh. My. God!

[valr]

[She's actually willing to drop the grumpy exterior for a moment because - yeah, this is one of the best parts of what she is.]

Not bad, huh? You should see the view at sunrise.

[hackitude]

Eughhh. [Skye's nose crinkles slightly.] Pass. I'm strictly against wakefulness before 8.

[valr]

Don't have to be waking up, usually I see 'em before I'm heading to bed.

[Kara that's because you're practically nocturnal.]

[hackitude]

... Maybe on a Saturday, then. I have to work during the week. Money and food and stuff. I hear it's important.

[valr]

Why d'you think I quit my job?

[Having a schedule was the worst, she's used to just doing her thing on her own time.]

[hackitude]

Quelle surprise.

Ah well, mine's not too bad. Actually I kind of like it.

[valr]

Aside from the fact you got bored enough to recreate Instagram?
