[PLOT][PRP] Better than going alone, at least [Dante/Lailah]

[Teigra]

While she agreed that the sooner they got back, the better, Lailah's mood was still soured by her 'partner's' demeanor towards her. She was doing all the work and all he could do was sign complaints and make faces at her in disgust. Shoving the switch into his hands had two benefits: shutting him up effectively, as well as transferring some of the 'ech' to his hands as well.

But that wasn't enough. He felt the need to tell her to bathe? Really? She couldn't let that sort of comment go, rolling her eyes and shooting back. "Nah, I thought I'd share the sparkles with everyone!" With that, she clapped him on the shoulder, transferring more of the shimmery dust with a snicker, then responding as if nothing had happened, "Yep, ready."

A tight grip on her own wooden switch, she flared her wings, shot a glance towards Dante to make sure he was following, then leapt into the air with a few powerful flaps to gain some altitude before she picked up a warm thermal that helped lift her towards the clouds.

Dante's reaction to the branch being shoved at him was immediate and obvious. He was visibly torn between wanting to drop the stick like it might bite him and needing to hold onto it because it was vital to his quest. He began to sign something at Lailah, but couldn't keep hold of the branch while doing so. He'd just accepted the momentary indignity when she'd clapped him on the shoulder with her dirty, sparkly hand, which caused him to make sort of a muffled, panicked noise of disgust. He waved his hand at her in sort of a "shove off!" gesture before launching into flight.

And to think, he'd been almost beginning to like her before she'd reminded him what a vile Pae she was. Revolting.
