"Oh." Amy said, getting what Jacob meant by pointing out Fang. "Oh yeah, aren't they going into town to get a movie or something? Interesting." She pretended to humph. "I'll wait then, but if you don't get in that shower after Fang-" She shook her finger in mock chastisement. Thinking about it, though her wings were perfectly fine, she'd have to take a shower after everyone else. She had no clue when she had last taken a shower or bath, as she hadn't had the opportunity to do so. She bit her lip slightly, dearly hoping that she didn't stink or something.

Fang flicked off one more chunk, his hands reddened with dried blood and then walked inside. He looked up at Max. The boy could smell her from where he stood 3 feet away, she smelled amazing. All he wanted to do was pull her close, but that would be weird and at the moment, he was covered in Eraser guts. He blushed slightly at the thought, ducked his head and walked right by her.
He took his shower, scrubbing his hair well, making sure his wings were perfectly clean and washing his skin. He walked into his room with his wings sticking out a little so they could dry and a towel around his waist. Fang pulled out his dark denim jeans and one of his black t-shirts and got dressed. Then he slipped on his black Nike high-tops and a black zip-up hoodie and walked out of the room to meet Max.

[Harpy•]

MAX

I noticed his slight blush, and wondered at it, touching my hair self consciously. What was that about? And then I got a vague idea when he came back out; I forgot how good he smelled when he was clean. Kinda spicy. I bit my lip, then raised an eyebrow, and looked at the door. "Ready?" I asked, pushing my wings through the slits in my jacket. "It's 9:15 right now...we have time." I glanced down at my watch to double check, then nodded, extending my wings and moving them slowly back and forth, drying the last wet feathers.

JACOB

I grinned at Amy, then made a beeline for the shower, shutting the door and turning the water on full, getting in and scrubbing my wings hard. I hated having them dirty, in any way; I was almost obsessive about it, but not really. I smirked at the thought, then moved on to my hair, scrubbing it as well.

[Nautica]

"Yeah, let's go," Fang replied, stepping outside and giving his wings a quick shake to get most of the water off. Flying with soaking wet wings was never fun, but if they were just a little damp, it was fine. With a running start, he took off, his shoulder muscles moving beneath his clothes as he stroked the air with his black wings.
He knew when he landed his hair would be slightly really windblown since it was wet, but that was alright. It would give it a little more volume. He grinned a little at that and circled to the right slowly as he waited for Max to take off.

[Harpy•]

MAX

I watched him when he took off, once again a bit dazed by how incredibly powerful he was, the dark silkiness of his wings, his muscles straining effortlessly to keep him airborne. I shook my head slightly, then took off running, moving to the edge of the cliff before unfurling my wings in one powerful snap, catching the air current and letting it take me upwards to Fang. I stroked the air a couple of times with my wings, but the current didn't need much help to take me where I wanted to go. I flew just over Fang, smiling down at him before refocusing on the town that wasn't far away.

[Nautica]

Over the wind in his ears, Fang couldn't really hear much, like the crickets chirping below or the wind making the leaves of the trees swish and sway like waves of a green ocean, but he knew the sounds were there. He looked down to see the moon had illuminated the forest and jagged rock overhangs below with an enchanted glow. He definitely loved this place, no matter how many times it brought Erasers right to them. After taking his time to get over the incredibility of his home at night, he looked up at Max. "Race you there?" he asked, then he added, "But you're not allowed to use your super-fast mode. That's cheating."

Amy noticed the reappearance of Fang and Jacob taking off towards the shower. Good, now I won't have to dump water on him. Not that I was going to anyway, but it made for good jesting. She looked out the window and saw Fang and Max take off. She absentmindedly stroked a feather on her left wing, waiting to see if anyone else needed a shower. She caught sight of Tool again and sighed slightly. He definitely needs a shower. Eww. Those jeans look disgusting. She would have to wait then until this newcomer took his shower for her to get cleaned up. Looking down at her pale blue jeans and white shirt she was suddenly really glad that she hadn't been outside when eraser guts went flying. The stains would've never come out.

[Harpy•]

MAX

I grinned down at him, raising one eyebrow. "Oh, is it now?" I teased, already pumping my wings a bit harder. "Naw, I'll take it easy on you." I winked, then looked up, putting on power into my muscles, leaving the super-speed power behind. I used wide, deep strokes, moving myself forward steadily.

JACOB

I stepped out of the shower, drying myself off quickly before slipping my clothes back on, of which I had also scrubbed while in the shower. I grinned, flipping my hair to one side with a jerk of my head, then headed out the door into the main room, holding a thumbs up to Amy before reaching into my pocket for the pad of paper. "I'm gonna go fly to dry off," I wrote, showing her the paper. "Wanna come?"

[Nautica]

Fang grinned and started pumping his wings as fast as he could. He had to admit he had grown a little recently, his wings were a little over 14 feet in span. They weren't as light as they used to be, but they allowed him to lay on more muscle. The town was getting closer and he guessed he was going about 80mph. That was the fastest he could go. He knew Max could be a blur with the incredible speeds she could reach. There was nothing more amazing to him than watching Max fly like that. She was a streak in the air; you'd miss her if you blinked.

[Harpy•]

MAX

I watched Fang pull slightly ahead, watched the mesmerizing, steady beat of his wings, then smirked, touching a little of the massive speed I kept locked away. I instantly moved forward, surging my thirteen-foot wings into a bit of a faster wingbeat, pulling just ahead of Fang. I was taunting him; the grin plastered on my face showed as much. I looked up, seeing the town's lights begin to brighten and grow stronger, and new we were pretty close to it.
