Falling.
Rosie didn't utter a cry as they fell from two floors up, though she did gasp a bit when the impact came. It had all been so exciting... her hair being lifted from her shoulders, the sound of the wind rushing past her ears. But they had to move fast, seeing as they had fallen past at least one window that could end up betraying them.

Still holding on to his back, Rosie turned and locked her eyes on her window. You've got this, she told herself, though not in a pitying fashion, but with strength. There was concentration, a slight movement of her hand, and Rosie could feel the weight and buzz of energy in her grasp. There wasn't time to think about how she had just done what she did. It was like breathing, or blinking: think too much on it and you'd have to think too much to keep doing it.

Maybe it was like throwing a ball, she thought, as she took aim. Just let it go in the right direction, and maybe it would softly rattle it shut.

There was only one way to find out.

Rosie threw the invisible force at her target and held her breath. Nothing around seemed to indicate that she'd done anything right, not until her window suddenly gave a noticeable thunk as it was hit. And the, to Rosie's incredible surprise, it shut.

"Run!" she hissed, laughing quietly with her joy.

Hm. That wasn't the reaction he'd been hoping for. He'd forgotten that she had been afraid of using her powers. But...wasn't she here to learn how to use them? Certainly to control them...but learning meant that she had to know her limits, and had to know exactly what she could do. After all these years, he still knew he had more to learn. Though, he didn't have to worry about blowing people up. The worst he had to deal with was over stretching his body's limits.

He sighed. "Ok, so....if we climb, I don't doubt that we'll be seen. I could probably get up there on my own quietly, but with you dangling from my back, I can't be as agile. You could do a little magic on yourself and pop up there. I mean...I can carry you, if you're...you know...scared."

Throwing out the challenge might not have been the best approach, but with respect to Mission Rosie's Powers - which he just invented, and was very proud of - he thought that it might spur her pride into action. After all, if the gangs weren't pressing in on him back in India, he wouldn't have discovered his own powers. Struggle and overcoming challenge. That's the key to the power.

Samyule evaluated the tree. True, it was big and sturdy. He could get her up there no problem. In fact, he himself would probably find it easier to jump from the tree to the windowsill. If anyone in the room below heard a thump from his landing, they would probably ignore it, thinking Rosie had dropped something. The branches waved quietly in the night, promising some good, old-fashioned climbing. Grove was good for that, for having climbing trees in every nook of the campus. This one was so convenient it was rediculous.

Though, he also considered the benefits of forcing Rosie to stretch out a little bit. He'd seen the potential in her powers, even from the beginning, but she seemed to be more afraid of them than curious about them. That was no fun. Besides, if she could learn to hold his weight in the air, imagine all the sick tricks he could learn to do. He wouldn't need a trampoline to facilitate high-flying stunts anymore.

Still, if she failed, pushing her would only hurt his mission. She would retreat again, worried that something would go wrong, and wouldn't consider doing something like this again. Potentially, he would even lose whatever small amount of trust she had in him. After all, he had jumped out of her window earlier with her on his back.

He sighed, throwing his hands up in resignation. "Right, let's do it. I'll get you as far as that limb up there." He pointed to one stretching nearly to her window. The space between the branch and the sill was too far for her to jump, she'd still have to use her powers. He would be able to leap the distance no problem. "Once we make it, you'll do your floaty thing....or...did you want me to jump over first? I could tie....something around you, I guess, in case you fall. That way I could still catch you?"

He didn't mention that he could probably leap the distance with her, but...well...that would be counterproductive.
