18th Katti: [Action]

[upontheplains]

[Lyn has been trying for over a year now to actually get enough strength from Kipinn to fly. The most she's ever been able to do, however, is hover an inch off the ground.

So today she's trying a new tactic. Her wings spread wide, or as wide as the tiny Filial wings can get, she forces the wind into them directly, giving herself something to push off of as she begins to flap.

With this wind combined with the air pooling around her feet, pushing up against her, she begins to rise... one inch, then two, until at last she's a foot off the ground. She beams widely, ready to celebrate her triumph over gravity...

When the wind abruptly rips a few feathers from her wings. This is incredibly painful, and she gasps in pain before losing control of the wind, which dissipates. She falls to the earth, landing in a heap. A foot isn't that far to fall, but the way she dropped was twisted enough to give her a nasty gouge on one of her arms and a scraped hand and knee.

She lies on the ground for a moment before the shock caused by the pain in her wings wears off, then crawls her way to her feet, wincing.]

Spirits, that hurts... I think I've tried everything now.

... I wonder if there are any healers nearby.

[Grimacing, she starts to make her way back into the village.]

[Aaaand at the village's edge, doing some studying and note-taking on local plant-like to re-confirm observations sie made before is Cameron. Who, as Lyndis passes, can't help but make note of thelimp the other has. Erm-]

Excuse me- are you unwell?

[Sie asked as sie stood, closing the journal sie was taking notes in with the same motion]

[She lifts her head when she hears someone call out to her, and turns to greet hir with a weak, embarrassed smile.]

Just a little injury... I was on my way to the hospital to get myself looked at, actually.

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

Truly? [There's some concern here, honestly. Sie comes close, wondering if there might be a way for hir to help. Well sie's no healer, and... ah well]

Do you need help getting to it?

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

I should be fine. My leg was only scraped a bit.

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

Either way, I would be remiss to leave a being to keep up an injured march alone. [At this, sie advances and takes a position beside Lyn] Unless you object to my coming with.

[She offers a slight smile.]

On the contrary, I'm grateful.

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

[Good, sie smiles and thus- or so sie hopes - the walk there now resumes. Oh wait, sie should probably-]

-Ah, and my name is Cameron.

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

Good to meet you, Cameron. I am Lyn.

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

And it is nice to meet you as well, Lyn.

[Her smile is cut off by a wince as she moves her arm in a way it doesn't like. Grimacing, she pulls it back up next to her body, shielding it.]

Nnngh... I'm glad I didn't get that on my leg.

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would have been more troubling... [Still, sie looks at Lyn with concern.

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

So long as I can walk I'm fine. [It's hard to say whether she's trying to reassure Cameron or herself.]
