"...that'll probably work."

"Did you know that twisters spin clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere? Well, at least a lot of the time. Sometimes the ones in the Northern Hemisphere do that so it stands to reason that sometimes the ones in the south would do the reverse."

"I didn't know that, no."

"I don't know why this happens! The book I had said it's because the southern hemisphere everything is upside down, which I think is mostly a sign of it being a bad book and not about the real reason they do that."

"It could have to do with magnetism somehow, but I can't think of how..."

"My guess would be something about the earth's rotation?"

"But it's rotating in the same direction in both places!"

"It's not a very detailed guess."

"Well, it's better than the one in the book. And maybe better than magnetism since there isn't any metal in twisters. At least not ones that haven't run over places with metal in them."

"It does seem more plausible than magnetism - are there inhabited areas in the south with twisters?"

"I think so, but only recently unless the book is wrong about that too."

Annie doesn't know much about tornadoes. She leans her head on Lucette's shoulder.

Lucette leans back and can have a perfectly nice time discussing potential ways civilizations can usefully adapt to twisters, relying largely on Sophie's knowledge of twisters.

When Annie knows something she'll pipe up but she has never studied meteorology.

Sophie has more than enough meteorology knowledge for the three of them.

....Well, enough for Annie and Lucette anyways. Not nearly enough for Sophie. 

It's a nice enough way to spend the afternoon. Especially if she can be holding hands with Annie.

Over the next three days Lucette's flying comes in. Well, mostly at first it isn't so much flying as crashing without even getting off the ground, as the force meant to push her up instead sends her in a seemingly random direction. Once she does get in the air she's much better off.

Annie's sensory range is not amazing and she doesn't like losing track of Lucette but she'd want to fly, if it were her who could fly, so she doesn't make a fuss about it.

Lucette doesn't really stray far from Annie, regardless.

After two weeks of practice she decides she is adept enough to safely carry Annie with her, if that seems like it would be enjoyable.

That does seem like it would be enjoyable!

Annie continues to be so pretty...

Lucette takes off without Annie and scoops her up once she's got herself in the air.

"Ee!"

Lucette enjoys flying but apparently not as much as Annie! Except when she has Annie with her she can enjoy how much Annie is enjoying it, which is always very good and satisfying.

It's thrilling and she can't see where they're going but she can feel the swoopiness and the wind whipping through her hair!

Lucette does her best to iterate on what forms of flying lead to Annie making the happiest noises and faces.
