For ShortCake and Trinityblue!
-------------------------------------------
“You’ve got to be kidding me! You aren’t going to do this again, are you?” Bavaria asked rather startled from where she sat on her bond’s shoulder.
“Would you rather us walk there? Or take a bus half of the way as well?” Trinity asked as she stood in the middle of her living room. Again she was preparing her teleportation spell. “Besides, if I’m going to do well with this spell, I have to keep working at it. This time I’m just going to aim for his driveway.”
The hope feien rolled her eyes, not expecting it to work. At all.
Once more they were consumed in the bright light and when it cleared, they were some where slightly windy. And uneven. Trin’s feet touched something solid, by which caused her to lose her balance. Her tail frilled around to try and regain it, but that didn’t help and the girl fell to the ground.
Bav had the insight enough to move. “Well, we’re not at the bottom of an ocean and we’re not in a bathroom. Good job! Now where are we?”
“…. A roof.” Trin muttered as she pushed herself up. Indeed they were on a roof and tiles under her hands were very hot. It simply caused her to get up faster.
“Ok, who’s roof?” Bav asked and returned to the shoulder.
“I have no idea.” Trin said and walked over to the edge of the roof to knock on a window. Someone, she hoped, would be home and let them in.

Long moments passed and she began to fear that no one was home and she would be stuck on the roof until she got the courage to try the teleportation spell again.
Luckily, the window began to slide up and the crown of a head of tousled brown hair emerged. Twisting, suddenly, Jack was grinning up at her, the smile cheeky and easy-going. "So it's the roof this time?" he asked calmly. As if he found young women on his roof every day. It was a complete flashback to his behavior the last time, when she ended up in his bathroom. "Need help getting down, pet?"

A lopsided grin crossed her features at this and she looked to her young feien. “See? I told you I’d get it right!” She said happily. Even if it wasn’t fully true. At least it –was- Jack’s house. She edged closer to him. “I could use a bit, yes. I can’t fly.”
Bav rolled her eyes. “Oh yeah, this really looks like a drive way to me.” She drawled and took to the air. –She- could fly!

Jack considered telling her to stay put while he got the ladder. Then he remembered that the ladder wasn't his and the neighbor had reclaimed it. Whoops. So, still grinning, he leaned further out. "Sit on the edge, pet, and let your legs hang," he ordered. "We'll get you down."
A blue blur shot out the window and upwards. "Bavaria! Sis!"
Sighing, Jack hoped his feien would keep his sister busy while he manhandled Trin. He was pretty sure that Bavaria would object to -that-.

Trin had good sense to know what was coming. But she did need down the roof one way or another. She was sure that if he did have a ladder, he would have offered it. So, she did what she was told. After all, the roof was getting hot.
“Bruns!” Bav flew at her brother, giving him a hug. “She did that spell again!” She explained, frowning at her bond. Then she realized what Jack was about to do to Trin…. She’d have to watch those hands of his!

Brunswick rolled his eyes and reached out to set his hand on his sister's shoulder. "Tell her to walk next time, BeeVee," he suggested. "She can't aim for anything and some day she's gonna end up in Jack's -bed- or something."
If Jack heard the tone behind Brunswick's words (a tone which implied that landing in Jack's bed was only mildly better than being roasted alive), he ignored it in his concentration on the bigger problem. Sitting on the sill, he reached up to touch Trin's ankle. "Okay, now go over on your stomach an' let your legs hang down. Waist at the edge an' all. I'll steady you."

Bav crossed her arms. “I told her to not do that spell, and she insisted!” She huffed, crossing her arms and giving Jack the ‘look’. One that would promise him pain if his touching got too friendly.
If she was big enough to follow through with that. Then again, something else would do.
Trin, on the other hand, was ignoring the two feien as she twisted around and slid over the edge of the roof. Her tail waved in the air to keep her balance as she worked. At this angle, it was easy to see how loved her shoes were. They were old and well worn with spots from spills on them. They were also more like hiking boots, so they would have good traction for this little climbing job.

Well, at least they weren't high heels, Jack thought as he reached out to pull her legs towards him and the window sill. "Steady, luv," he murmured. "Wiggle it back some more." He wished his house had dormer windows; things would have been much easier. Bloody old house. Keeping one arm in attendance on Trin, he shifted on his perch and moved to straddle the sill. Legs able to stabilize his weight now, he moved the rest of his body to the outside. "We're gonna have t' give you coordinates to follow or somethin'."
Rightly interpreting his sister's expression, Brunswick patted her shoulder again. "He won't drop her," he reassured her. "And she can punch him out later if he grabs her wrong. He'll let her."

“Yeah, but would she punch him? That’s the thing!” Bav answered her brother, huffing again. “Trin, you’re not allowed to do this spell! Never -ever- again when traveling!”
“Yeah yeah, Varia!” Her bonded called back.
“Bav!”
Trin couldn’t help but grin at Jack since Bav couldn’t see it. She was purposely teasing her feien. With his guidance, her foot was able to find the sill and she slowly lowered herself more. The foot shimmed over the edge to help get her in.

Jack's hand immediately moved to cup her hip. The other shifted to hold her foot to the window sill, providing weight to her balance. "D'ya feel like a princess bein' rescued from a tower yet, Trin?" he asked. He, too, ignored the feien. Clever man that he was, he knew this was the best way to get both Bavaria and Brunswick silent with boiling indignation. Taking a breath, he stretched out a bit more and gripped the waistline of Trin's pants. "Okay, then. Almost there."
"If she doesn't hit him, I'll hit him." Brunswick watched the rescue mission with narrowed eyes.

“Then I’ll do a follow up punch.” Bav growled as she watched them. Her own violet eyes were narrowed at the British man.
“I think this would have been easier if I have a rope of bed sheets. And wasn't trying to climb in.” Trin teased. The ironic aspect of what he just said did hit her, but she said nothing. As she shifted and slowly let her weight go to him so she could get in (who ever invented these overhangs should have to do this some time and see just how stupid it was!), her tail accidentally popped Jack in the face. She was climbing in so that her back would face him and didn’t even think of her tail.

Thus Jack's reward for being a knight-in-shining armor was a mouthful of fur. Gamely, he kept his hands on Trin and tried to draw his head back. The angle was awkward, her tail was long, and so his hands tightened reflexively at her waist to keep them both on the sill.
Brunswick nearly fell out of the air, giggling.

Brunswick wasn’t the only one. Bavaria laughed openly about this. “Way to go, TB! Whack him with the tail!” She called out, then laughed again.
Trin flushed and drew the extra appendage to her so as to not hit Jack again. Then she gave the two a frown. “It’s not like I meant too!” She pouted, then politely waited for him to get resituated. Her arms were starting to get tired of this. “Sorry about that, Jack.”

"N-no worries." Turning his head, he made a strange face as he tried to rid his mouth of lingering hairs. Then he turned back and offered her a naughty little boy's grin. "Warn me next time an' we'll be in clover." He paused and pulled himself forward a bit to better hold her. One of his arms loosed from her waist and shifted up to brace across her upper chest. "Okay, pet," he muttered. "Let go an' I'll pull you in."

“Some times I forget I even have a tail.” Trin muttered, then she took a deep breath and let go of overhang. She was all going to trust him to not drop her and her eyes automatically shut.
Bav did not like the position of Jack’s hold and her laughing stopped.
