Welcome to Gaia! ::

Muka's wide eyes widened just that much more as the winged ghoul hurtled towards the ground. It suddenly dawned on the boil that she may not know how to fly. This was a school! Maybe she was still learning? He was wrong, of course (how would she have gotten onto the roof?), as it dawn on him that she may just be surprised and panicking.

He let out an almighty screech and the sounds of bones popping and muscles stretching filled the air as he shifted back into his natural form and swooped for her. If hadn't been so large there would be no way he could lift her. Within moments the dive bombing owl had gripped Tahki by the shoulders with his taloned feet and was flapping hard to keep her from dying.

There was definitely some strain as they slowly lowered to the ground and Muka let go, dropping the gryphon as gently as he could on the grass outside of the monster dorms. He landed, shuffled, but stayed in this form. His jagged black beak cracked. "You can't fly Tahki?!"

The large owl settled on the ground, the familiar disgusting sound of his transformation kicked in, and soon he was a boil again. There were a few seconds where he was a boil's head on an owl's body but that had been brief. He seemed to stretch his shoulders and wings. His arms hurt a bit from carrying her.

He definitely seemed confused but mostly because she sounded confused. "Are you? You are? Uhhh.." His head tilted to the side but then he just burst out laughing. A high screeching cackle. The strix grabbed his belly as if he couldn't hold it in. "You are funny!"

He still had no idea if she could fly.

Muka stepped forward, his shoulders still rising and falling in hissing little chuckles. He used a taloned hand to ruffle her hair, unaware that she may not want that at all.

His head tilted and there was a voice drifting from the top of the tower. "ULMUKA." His smile, ever present, pursed suddenly. It came again. "Ulmuka!"

The strix's head turned a bit and he hopped strangely from side to side as if he were guilty of something. "I flew out while still unpacking!" This amusement sent the monster back into giggles. "Shhhhh!"

The call came again and then a head popped out and looked down. "ULMUKA! GET UP HERE!" It was a strong voice, very proper, and rather angry. The boil suddenly sagged a bit but he tried to keep up his smile.

"That's father. I should probably not have left." He swooped forward to give Tahki a hug. He breathed in the air through his mouth, tasting it, and then let her go. "Let's be friends Tahki! "

Muka lifted his head and the pointy horned head was still sticking out of the window. It was too far to see details but there were definitely a regal set of horns on the fellow. "Oh he's probably angry. That's his angry voice." His grin pursed for just another second before spreading back over his face.

"I will find you Tahki. We will have flying lessons! It will be so exciting I CAN"T WAIT." He clasped one of her hands in his own as if he cherished it, once again oblivious to any of her personal space desires.

"Farewell!" His wings spread out wide and with another popping crack he shifted back into owl form and took off up to the tower and his waiting, angry demon father.
