...She shuts the door.

"We're going to have to run, once we get outside."

"Uh– okay," says Maya. "Should I get ready to fly? Which of you should I take first, will I be able to come back for the other do you think…?"

"Can you do both of us at once?"

"I don't know! Should probably test that, um, take my hand?" she says, flaring sparky and offering one arm to Elleira and the other to Thario.

Elleira takes her arm.

As does Thario.

And then Maya tries to rise into the air, and the sparks move around Elleira a bit, as before, and she starts to rise with her.

And then there's a sharp crack and Thario yanks back his hand. "It shocked me."

"Hm?"

"The sparks are apparently not just cosmetic," he says.

Maya raises an eyebrow. "Might not work if it shocks a second passenger, then?"

"Does it work at all with him? Have you tried before?"

"No, haven't tested it," she says, and moves closer to the ground then lets go of Elleira. "Presumably not gonna work for this scenario anyway."

Still offering the hand to Thario.

Thario takes it again, slightly warily.

And Maya tries to rise into the air again, with Thario!

Then there's another sharp crack, causing Thario to yank his hand back again. "Apparently has something against me, okay, hopefully this spellbook has something in it, ow, uh, how close is the nearest building, can I just jump it?"

The nearest building is not in fact within jumping distance. This building seems to have quite suddenly become somewhat isolated, with large gaps between it and any neighboring structures.

"It's a fair distance, last time I checked. You probably wouldn't make it."

"… So it might be a good idea for you two to get out of here while it's still semi-plausible and for me to hopefully get something out of this." He indicates the book he's still holding.

Shrug.

"Reasonable. Let's go." She offers a hand.

Maya takes it, flares sparky and catches Elleira with it too, takes a breath, then yanks open the door and throws herself forwards and upwards.

They go that way rather quickly.

Thario shuts the door behind them, though not before some water gets through.

There are a few noises of a struggle.

Not much she can do from up here. Maybe he'll survive, maybe not.

And it's still raining.

Elleira might notice that there's a small blob of water in Maya's hair.

It seems to be moving, almost like a slug.

Does it cohere well enough to be picked up?
