Okapi | 15 | Sandwing | City Skyline | tags: Reaper, Noctis, Merlin
With a final grunt in Reaper's direction, Okapi ran the runway of the launchpad and snapped his wings open to catch the artificially generated air current to get up to speed. He activated his augmented eye and checked the coordinates of other dragons, seeing if there was anyone in flight he didn't have visuals on. The sky was clear though, and the airport wasn't any busier than usual. "ATC, Okapi, one-zero-niner-seven, taking off runway 3-6 towards the east district, Okapi, ATC."
The sun lifted past the horizon and brought the world into color. Although Okapi could see smoke trails from several trash fires dotting the landscape, the peace and quiet that came with being so high up calmed his nerves. Okay, field evaluator and rookie. I got this. I can handle this. He ran through a few more of the positive affirmations his mother had taught him as a dragonet before updating ATC on his location, then told them he would be departing out of range. After the officer on the mic bid him luck, he turned his eye off and looked in Reaper's direction. "Let's see how well the mechanics did!" The advancement of neurolink technology was truly a marvel. Okapi opened the vents on the lateral plates on his thighs to get some airflow running through his thrusters, and with a whoop, he accelerated enough to complete a loop in the air. "How's that for coming out of the infirmary?" When he cast a look back he was immediately reminded of Merlin's presence. His face dropped. Camel-farts. I hope Merlin doesn't write that down.I look like a rowdy dragonet.
Leo | 11 | Rain/Sand | Backstreets, City | tags: Dart, Sleet, Adder, anyone else
Leo rolled his eyes at his sister and tapped her with his wing in retaliation. "I formally apologize." He did a faux bow before shooting a look at Sleet. "Not to you though." After looking at the burly guard and listening to the Sandwing that freed him from the deadweight of said guard, Leo spoke again. "You're right, we do have to do something about him. He knows what I look like, but then again, so do many of the other guards. We are definitely NOT killing him though. When did you get so bloodthirsty?" He gave Dart an incredulous look. We used to be dragonets together. I wish this city hadn't changed us so much. "I think our best move is checking if he has any body-cam augments and destroying those, then blowing out of this place." He knew Dart had way better observational skills than he did when it came down to smaller details. She had stronger gut intuition than anyone Leo had ever met in the past.
"Hey, don't miss me too much! You know I'm only a phone call and a tail-beating away." He tried to catch the Icewing's attention one last time before he left.
