"Drier, higher, full of life..." he said looking up at the skies. "And you can see everything up there!"

She gave a sad smile. "If that is your wish, Proteus, then I hope you get it."

Proteus shifted at the sound in her voice, "Hey - it's not such a bad existence..."

Naida bit her tounge. She somehow felt betrayed by his wanting to stay in the skies and not with her. She knew she shouldn't though, she hadn't even known him that long..."I guess not. As long as everything you want is up there and not stuck down here on the ground."

"Oh..." he said quietly. I'm an idiot... "Well, I mean, not everything I want is up there..."

Her heart lept a little, "Really?" her voice sounded more excited than she had planned on. "Er, I mean, really? And just what would you ever come down to the ground for? It's not as 'full of life."

"Uh huh. Well I guess when you're up in the clouds you can think about your dear friend Naida and what she's doing, who she's dating, all that sort of thing."

"Why not? I can't go with you, no matter how much I might want to. And you won't come with me. And niether of us can be away from what calls to us for long." She looked around for her daggers. They gave her a measure of comfort that she could really use right now. "And it's not fair for someone to ask you to change," Naida whispered and sat back up.

"Hey - hey! No one's asking anyone to change..." Proteus said sitting up. "Though I do highly encourage you to come flying with me sometime."

"I would like to, as long as you try that spell out on something else before you put it on me. I meant it when I said I'd carve you like a bird."

"And I mean it when I tell you I wouldn't do anything to hurt you," Proteus said firmly. "Trust me, I test it out, I'll test it out a couple of times, alright? I wouldn't do anything to put you in danger..."
