I meant more metaphorically, although it seems like in my heart of hearts I do want to learn how to do some things myself, at least a little.
You did have an entire farm in that dream of yours. It was really impressive, actually.
...honestly all that was kind of ambitious to think of doing on my own... though I suppose I felt like I needed something to fill the days.
Maybe not a whole farm. I'd like a garden.

I'm not scared of anything.
[He said, slinking out of hiding. With Stability, he's crouched at a 90 degree angle on the trunk. If she didn't recognize the voice, she'd definitely recognize the face.]
But maybe I just want some privacy.

And a garden you shall have.
We'll grow our own herbs for cooking, and have flowers at the windowsill.

Yesterday was pretty terrible. I get why you'd feel that way.
But wow, I'm full of energy today! I could do anything.

And have friends and family over for dinner all the time, and have a little cat...
...didn't you have designs on having a dog, too? I seem to remember that from the very elaborate pitch you gave me at that wedding roleplay live.

[NO WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING THAT UP]
Terrible? God rightfully judged us. And you were rightfully punished. That you suffered is proof you hadn't properly devoted yourself to Her worship.

[She'd see a sword materialize nearby, mere seconds before a blur of teal and feathers warp to the spot.
No one can see your janky wing if you're selectively moving at superspeed.]

[Nuzzle nuzzle]
Good catch. Yeah, I think the kids would love havin' a dog around.
Can't believe you still remember everything in that drunken spiel.

Heeeeeeeey how about a distraction from that! Devote yourself to giving me pets instead! Pet pet.

[That is one way to do it. She looks up and blinks, but doesn't comment on his transportation choice]
...Ready to go?
...Ready to go?
Born ready.
[He'll let her get on the bike first, before hopping on himself]

[Thankfully he doesn't protest the topic change. But there is a pause of hesitation before he replies.]
Maybe if the kitty came up here.

Alright. Then hang on.
[She's a little red again as he gets on the bike behind her, but she looks forward with a small smile as she starts the engine.
It's a few turns before they get to the highway where they can get up to speed, but she doesn't waste time after that, getting the bike going as fast as it goes and lifting from the road just before a curve that would be hard to take at that speed, rising up into the air rapidly even after they clear the buildings.]

[ Making a little "mrr" sound, and hopping up the branches, climbing easily. ]
[Even if he doesn't need to hold on to stay on the bike (as long as his feet are gripping something, then Stability won't let him fall), he still wraps his arms around Glory, making himself comfortable.
No matter how many times he does it, the breakneck acceleration of a motorcycle still makes his heart race - and when they lift off, he can't help but laugh in glee, pure unadulterated exhilaration.]
This never gets old--!

[A little uncertain, he hangs down from a higher branch - kind of like a bat? - and reaches out to pet Sekhmet with his good claw.
The other claw is, uh, absent.]

[The drop of her stomach as they rise is a thrill for Glory too, but hearing Nero's laugh is what makes her really giddy.]
—Yeah. It's great every time.
[Once they level out at a high enough altitude that the city begins to flatten out underneath them, she sits back slightly, feathers spreading in the wind as they continue to glide through the air.]

[ Nuzzling into his hand, with a low "mrr" sound. ]
[Hey if she's too preoccupied to notice his bad wing, all the better.
Continuing to pet! Getting in there with some scratches from his bird talons!]

[He stands up on the back of his seat, hand propped on her shoulders and looking down at her with a great big smile - kinda like if they were riding a bike together, except this one has an engine, and it's several hundred feet in the air going like 100 miles an hour. Practically the same.]
So? What's first?
So? What's first?
[ She can't purr, but she does make a pleased hum. Pets are good... ]
Now I understand why cats want this so bad...

[She cuts the engine, anyway, since there's no point spinning the wheels mid-air. So it's really almost the same.
She half-turns and tilts her head up to look at him.]
Well... we're flying together now, so...

For some reason I was playing very close attention!
...do you think they'll all like me?
