"Oh god.." Zassy mumbled, hiding his face against his shoulder again, his eyes tighter closed than before. He was terrified if he was honest, the idea of flying.. well, it had appealed to him before, but this was just terrifyingly real now.. the idea that they could quite easily just drop out of the sky at any moment.. what if his father sent the air to get them and they fell? Oh it was just such a terrifying thought!
"I.. I am..." he said quietly, just clinging to Don.

"Okay, love.." He whispered into his ear as he tucked him back against him as close as he could manage, "I'll try and make it as smooth as I can.. You're in the safest hands, my love!" He promised him.
He could feel the small nymph tense up, he knew he was scared, but this was going to be the quickest way to get them both away into his fathers safe territories. If he simply tried to walk out of here with Zassy there would be no end to the fights he would have with his love's guardians, with his father.
"Hold on.." He murmured as he stood and hopped out into the space in front of him, flinging his wings out once they were clear of the window frame. He thought this would be more appreciated rather than forcefully throwing himself out the window head-first, the way he normally exited through narrow spaces in a hurry.
It wasn't long before he had picked up a fairly smooth if rapid wing-beat, cradling his precious passenger close to him, asking him if he was okay.
It's take some time to reach his home, then the fun with his father would begin. He hoped Grenth would be proud that he had taken initiative for once instead of relying on someone else.

The flight was anything but fun for Zassy, he didn't like heights, and he was worried over what his parents would say, what Don's family would think of him, just worrying in general about what was likely to happen, he cried a little at times, always silently, and just simply through pure worry. After a while he eventually fell into an uneasy sleep, cuddled closely up against Don's chest. The flight went very quickly after that, he slept, fitfully in all honesty, but sleep enough at any rate.
He stirred slightly after a while.. they.. were they still moving..? Was he still with Don..? He knew he'd gotten cold at one point.. very cold indeed, but he'd gone back to sleep again... just now he was honestly feeling more than a little dazed and disorientated, that was what you got for waking up and sleeping so many times in such quick succession.
"Don..?" He mumbled, trying to shift a little.

Hearing his beloved stirring at last, the griffin was quick to be at the nymphs side once more, pressing a hand to Zassy's shoulder through the soft sheets tucked around him, the small fire in the vast fireplace crackling a little.
"I'm here love.." He murmured, sitting himself down on the edge of the mattress as he reached out with his other hand to stroke Zassy's curls back out of his face.
"You've had me worried, sweet-heart.." He smiled down at him gently, "I neglected to think that you wouldn't be used to the temperatures so high up.. I'm.. I'm really sorry.. I got you here as quickly as I could!" He said urgently, "I've uhm.. I've got you something warm to drink too, and I'm sorry we're in the guest rooms.. My.. Well I haven't used my own rooms in a long while, and they really do need cleaning quite desperately really!" He rambled on somewhat, very gently fussing Zassy.
"How are you feeling now, love..? I was.. Worrying.. You made my chest pretty damp. Are you.." He faltered a little, scared to ask if it had been his own fault that the nymph had been crying.

Zassy made a slightly sleepy noise as he blinks his eyes a few times more. He was tired still, and more than a little groggy, the cold had really taken it out of him.
He let Don just talk for a little while, his brain trying to slowly, finally, though his voice was a little quiet he managed to mumble a quiet,
"I'm sorry Don.. I.. I didn't mean to worry you.." he shifted slightly making some attempt to push himself up a little, he was laying down, okay.. guest room, good this was all making a little more sense now, things were slowly slotting back into place, oh heavens did he ever feel disorientated.
"I'm.. I'm okay now.. I'm not quite with it yet, I'm trying to catch up with things.." he chuckled quietly, leaning up on one of his arms, reaching out the other to curl onto Don,
"And, I was okay then too, I was just a little afraid.. it was high.. and it was cold.. and.. everything was just building up on me I guess, I'm okay, really, I was just trying to get used to everything, I'm not fabulous with change.." he smiled slightly again,
"Don't worry Don, and I'll be more than happy to help clean your room.." he was trying to push himself up a little more, he evidently desperately wanted to be useful.

Don shook his head complimenting his gentle smile with an equally gentle touch to the nymph's cheek, cupping it slightly as he leant down to press his warm lips against Zassy's forehead.
"No no.. It's okay love, it should be obvious that you didn't mean to.. I just got a little scared for a moment!" He spoke quietly, making sure that he was always touching Zassy to let him know he was there.
"I want you to take your time though with getting yourself to feel better! I know you slept a little on the way here, but I think it would be best if you rested, love!" He went on, trying to discourage Zassy from getting up already, "Steady there, love! Don't get ahead of yourself just yet..?" He moved over Zassy, settling himself on the large bed beside him, tucking an arm around the slender nymph then partially lieing down on top of him, not enough to make him uncomfortable but enough to stop him from going on a cleaning spree!
"I promise I'll give you the grand tour when you're more up to it! And I'll make sure that you won't run into.. Well, that you won't run into dad until you are ready to, okay?" He kissed at Zassy's cheek then touched his lips to the nymphs briefly, "He know's you're here, I've told him that we'll both see him when you're ready to do so.. He's a little worried about your health though so if you promise to stay put I'll report to him later.."
He tucked the blankets around the nymph that little bit more as he pressed their cheeks together, clicking his teeth against the ring in his lip..
"Not sure about you helping with my room.. I mean, it's a real pit at the moment.." He smirked.
