"Mutual Apologies"
ChosenSavith, GentleMidnightDancer

Half way up the cliff face, where tree met rock, Savith found a nice little outcropping, shaded by the branches, yet well lit and dry. Thinking less of a home and more of a place to escape the others, the glider was meticulously clearing the debris from the 'floor' and sorting it into orderly piles near the wall. Big stuff, rocks, leaves, random crap, old feathers, compost. It wasn't an impossible climb, but neither a simple one. Surely the curious would find it... eventually.

Oh poor Dancer was always a glutton for punishment and sent joyfuly to Savith as he fussed, *Are you building a nest up there?*

**Considering it,** he replied curtly. It'd been a few days since their last conversation, but at least he wasn't completely distant.

She laughed softly both in her mind and through her mouth. He was such a reluctant thing to smile but she wanted to be one of the first to see it if not the first. *Do you need help gathering twigs and leaves then??? Maybe some mud from my cave to make it stronger?*

Savith chuffed physically to himself, though only a hint of it worked its way into his send. **Unless it's mud like the sun village had, it'll run at the first rain. And there's twigs aplenty up here.**

*Is that aan invite then?* If he looked she was already making her way up the cliff side before he even gave an answer.

**Not really,** he replied with resignation. It filtered into his mind's voice as he caught a glimpse of her climbing. **But don't let that stop you, I guess**

Dancer gave a little huff and blew a bit of midnight hair out of her face. *No no... If I'm not welcome then far be it from me to set myself up for another thrashing like the one before.* She started moving back down the cliff slowly. Down was harder then up.

Savith sighed audibly and knelt down at the edge, holding his hand down to her. **Get your tail up here and stop being difficult,** he snipped with an annoyed air.

She glanced up with a smirk as if to say she knew that would work and took his hand. *If you insist.*

Savith frowned in replied and lifted Dancer up. Unlike being pulled up normally, his grip on her hand stayed light and unstrained, his face was not showing any stress from the weight. Rather, she seemed to simply grow weightless as he took the weight of the world from her and guided her up and onto the roomy ledge. He clicks in his tongue in reply, mind unable to form a retort as he knows full well that anything he might come up with would probably start with a falsehood. He'd make his mind stammer and he'd endup just sounding like a moron.

Blue eyes grew wide at the feeling of weightlessness and her smile beamed. "oooooohhhhhhh Can we do that again?" She turned and looked out over the view taking a deep breath. "Nice perch you have here."

Savith didn't reply. He just turned back to his cleaning and sorting.

Dancer sighed softly and turned to faace Savith even if he wasn't looking at her. "I'm sorry about the other day Savith. I... I shouldn't have pushed so hard."

Savith paused and looked over his shoulder in Dacner's direction. "No, you shouldn't have," he remarked before going back to what he was doing. Moment past before he added, "And my apologies for losing control of my emotions." There. He said it. Are you happy now?

She shook her head a little and knelt down next to him to help with what he was doing. "I can't promises that I will never pry to far again. It is in my nature to want to know what I do not and sometimes I forget when to stop."

Savith glanced over at her as she started to work with him. "I like my privacy," he stated, then added after a pause. "I'm certain there will be many more such arguements."

Savith didn't say any of what came to mind as the younger elf scrabbled to him. Instead, he just nodded and pushed off from the ground. Again, the sense of weightlessness covered them as his magic took the pull of the world from their bodies. He didn't move up with any great speed or urgency. He just directed them up, sideways out of the half built nest, then up again above teh cliff. He seemed to over shoot the ledge by a bit, and was thus forced to linger, hovering, in the sky, before making his way down toward the ground at the time of the cliff.

Savith just hmm'ed under his breath at her comments. To him, this was as common as sending and just as awe inspiring. As her hand relaxes, he soars a bit higher where the winds were a touch stronger and the full expanse of the cove and the beach beyond were visible. He turns so they face the best angle of the view, where the ocean sparkles like a silver blanket, and shifts his hand from her grasp. Feather-light, his fingertips trace up her arm to her shoulder, and rest just at the center of her back. **Drink your fill of the sight,** he sends lightly, like a horse whisper, devoid of emotion. The sight, clearly, means little to him.

Savith pondered a moment. With no mountain and no Lord for anyone to assume the worst of him, he might be relatively safe in this. But still.... Hesitation danced over him even as he drifted higher toward the cloud tops. He took it slowly, mind racing over the what-if's and angry demands for an explanation from the others that might see a non flying elf plummeting toward the ground. And then there was teh tricky part about keeping her from going splat on the sand. He chewed on his lip over the concern.
