(( Yay! ))
Iri is reclining in a small hammock strung between two pines, the usual book in her lap. One hand hovers over the pages, scratching out with a pen old or useless entries. The other hand is idly tossing a small fan.
Not much time passes before Iri shuts her book and stuffs it and her pen in a bag. She has been pooring over the thing for hours and is ready to get a little exercise. Still tossing her little fan, Iri walks from her spot in the trees surrounding the dojo and heads for the front plaza.

Reeve walks outside, to the same plaza, then throws himself forward, lands on one hand and starts doing pushups that way. "One...Two....Three...Four...Five..."

Reeve's voice reaches Iri's ears just before she emerges onto the plaza. She pauses for a moment as a thought occurs to her. I wonder if he's ever flown? Haven't carried someone in a long time. Wonder if I'm still strong enough?
Iri takes the last few steps necessary to bring her out of the cover of the trees. A slightly mischievous smile plays across her lips as she approaches Reeve. "Hello. How've you been?"

"Doin'...twenty-three....alright, Iri....twenty-five....and you?"
He looks up at her, still continuing.

Iri casts her gaze up at the sky. She can't see any storms approaching. The wind seems calm, too. Shouldn't be any trouble flying with someone on her back. That's if Reeve agrees to fly. And if Iri can still carry a second person in the air. Not that it's a big deal if I can't, but that would be a nice thing to know that I still can. Could be useful one day...
"I'm good. Was thinking about going on a short flight."
She looks down at Reeve. He's pretty close to my height, and doesn't look very heavy. My wings should be strong enough to support him, too. But if he's afraid of heights or something, that could be a problem.
"Do you plan on doing anything for the next hour or so?"

While Reeve and Iri talked, Sage watched them silently from his spot in a tree nearby. I wonder what they're up to....I think I'll watch and find out....might be something fun....granted, if it's something 'fun' I'll leave them their privacy...

"Fifty."
Vaulting up from a handspring, Reeve shakes his head. "Nothin' planned...why?"

"Well, that depends on how you feel about heights."
The wings on Iri's back unfurl and she holds them low to the ground. "You see, I used to be able to fly with a passenger. Only one passenger and preferably someone about my height and weight. Haven't done that in about a year or two, and I'm not sure if my wings can still handle the weight. Doesn't matter much, but I figured that it might be handy one day to have that option." Iri smiles and says, "So, how do you feel about flying?"

Reeve smiles enthusiastically.
"With you? Sounds great...but if I fall for you- I mean, off of you, be sure t'catch me, alright?"
Through chakra manipulation, he was, of course, capable of short and low flight himself, but there was no way he'd pass this up- she seemed way too happy about it.
"I'm not normally a fan of heights, so...I might be a little skiddish at first."

Wow. It's not often someone agrees to this. Gotta say, I'm impressed.
The smile on Iri's lips widen and her violet eyes warm with gratitude. "Don't worry, I'll catch you if you fall. Though I don't think that will be a problem. Now..."
Iri turns around and holds her wings up, already prepared to take off. She looks over her shoulder and says, "I'll use the wind to get us into the air, and if I cant' support the both of us, I'll use it to get back to the ground. All I need you to do for now is hold on to my waist. And whatever you do, don't tickle me." That last comment is made with a reassuring grin.

Reeve nods, although as he wraps his arms about her, it's all he can do /not/ to tickle her, just cos she said it.
"Ready."

Clow grit his teeth and painfully slid himself up into a sitting position. He was able to move his upper half alot more than his bottom half, but he even got himself to walk with the help of a cane he found lying around. He'd be back to normal in no time.
"Nami...?"

White wings spread to their greatest span and move forward slightly. Chakra emits from the wings, attracting currents of air. The wind currents fill Iri's wings like twin sails and begin to circle her and Reeve. Then Iri brings her wings down in a downstroke made more powerful than ever with the aide of the circulating air. For about half a minute, the air continues to aide Iri in the flight. After that, she releases the currents and begins to fly on her own.

Instinctively on takeoff, he holds Iri a little tighter.
"Uh..."
However, the sensation of winged flight proves to be 'not that bad'. In other instances, flight was a neccesity, and so he'd never cared for how he felt about it. This was his first recreational flight.
"W-woah..."
