...!

[Rubi's eyes light up with excitement. This would be interesting! Of course, he's flown by himself over the Demeleier village many times. Or in Salt's company, but now he can take Viktor with him.]

...That's good! I'll show you.

[His wings spread out sharply and pump hard once, twice, and the two of them are soaring into the sky rather fast. Rubi's grip never falters though. He just can't help rushing to meet the higher air.

Of course, he doesn't go too high. He stops at a point where Viktor will be able to see the people and buildings clearly. Though the whole small village is now spread out beneath them. The colorful patches of flowers are still visible everywhere.]

Mmmhm! Beautiful, isn't it?

...Yes.

[Rubi sounds happy as the two of them look out across the village. At least Viktor doesn't seem to be frightened now.]

Do you think humans would like to fly, if they had wings?

Is that why? I know it's the fastest way for humans to travel.

[Now he's smiling down at Viktor.]

...what about you? I could take you flying anytime you want, if you like it.

Is there somewhere you want to fly now?

[And his wings are getting restless, so Rubi starts to fly in a slow circle--then he does a quick mid-air flip while keeping a good hold on Viktor. Sort of like a lazy roller coaster.]

Hm...

[Another loop.]

Ah! What about a tree? Have you ever sat in the top branches of one before?
