Yeah, you leaned into that turn! Much better than dead weight was! I'll escalate slowly and you tell me when I get close to too much?

He's about to level out and ascend again.

Yeah, go for it.

Here's some sharper turns! Here's some spiraling-down turns! Here's him deliberately just barely not stalling! Here's a lovely forty-five degree dive! Here's as fast as he can possible go in level flight! Here's a half-loop-downward-and-roll! Here's a really steep dive! 

Flying is so awesome especially when you are feeling a passenger's adrenaline rush and feedback-looping about it!

The stuntgrey is super into it!!!

(He looks around the ground for anyone who seems to be recording and deliberately gives them a nice view if there is.)

He has a pretty big supply of tricks!

Eventually, I don't want to try the really hard stuff with you there, worried I'd crash. Any requests before I go land?

I like the dive best, can I get another dive?

I'd do my spindive landing but that's asking for a face full of dirt if I screw it up. I can survive that, but I don't wanna bet you can.

He climbs bit higher, deliberately stalls, and falls over into a near-vertical dive, falling like an arrow!

Holds it... And holds it... The ground is starting to rush up...

And then he levels out, and glides and lands heavily, skidding slightly and panting huge whufs of breath.

Excellent fun! And probably cinematic!

"Whooooo-ooo! Yeah, that'd be amazing!"

I'm surprised how well that worked actually! I thought it would be harder. Still pretty hard.

He lays down on the loading dock, body heaving a foot or more up and down with each breath.

Can you get out or do you need someone to do that?

"I got it!" She unbuckles herself and hops down, running her fingers through her hair.

Would people really pay to be flown around? It's really fun, I suppose.

"Oh yeah! You could have a line going for blocks! Probably have to make them sign a waiver."

A - waiver? Huh. Weird concept. Doing tricks like that is really exhausting though, I'd have to keep it tamer if I wanted to give lots of people turns.

"Then maybe it could be a shorter waiver."

I'd like to do that. I have a movie to do for now though.

Can you get this thing off of me? It's starting to chafe around where your legs go.

"Sure." She unclips it in enough places to tug it off.

Huff, huff.

Thank you. I'm just going to lie here for a bit.

"Sure thing, thanks for the ride!"

Sunwind doesn't nap right there on the loading dock, but he does rest for a bit. Then he wanders towards his set warehouse, looking for Temnin or food or anything else interesting.

Temnin's hanging out by his lair entrance. "Hi, can I get you anything?"

(Meksi would probably have been out there at the dock, grinning at him. Sigh.)

Food? The rigger so I can ask for an adjustment on the harness?

"Sure, just a minute."

He goes away and comes back with a cooler full of whole raw chickens and then goes away again and comes back with the rigger.

He tells the rigger all about how the harness was really good - and it's kind of amazing how they can come up with stuff like that - except for this one spot where it chafed.

"I can put some padding there but I don't want to give it too much ease. Sound all right?"

Sure. Nothing I can't endure anyway.

He eats the chickens after the rigger leaves.

...And now he's thinking about how depressing the idea of factory farming is and morbidly wondering if he could visit one of the places himself. Probably a bad idea. He can almost taste sadness in the meat, though surely he's just imagining it. Hmm. Some shiny trinkets would cheer him up.

Temnin, if there's no script workshop I should go to or anything else today could you come shopping for shiny things with me somewhere? I think I have an advance, or a loan, or a personal budget, or something like that.
