[It run out of springiness,] concludes Pen.

[Haha yep.]

So they play tag until the thing runs out of springiness.

Walta is good at dodging, not so great at chasing.

[I can charge it back up easy though, just have to land.]

[What happen if try to charge midair?]

[Could do it, if you put the charger in a bigger flying thing and held it up while it charged. Haven't tried to do that yet. Though technically even this whole city is midair!]

[I notice that! Not have flying cities other worlds.]

[I didn't build this flying city but I'm kind of proud of it anyway]

[Seem pretty nice.]

[Good things and bad things most everywhere, but yeah.]

Her glider thingy is done re-springing now. They play tag some more.

Eventually Terence tells them both, [I have the hammock. Welta, I'm not likely to do any tinkering today, you could probably just go home unless Pen wants an escort.]

[Can find own way.]

[Okay. Will watch for milliways. See you tomorrow, Pen?]

She starts packing up her flying rig.

[Okay.]

Everyone who bothers Pen about her wings on the way back to Terence's place can be deterred by cuteness and/or flying away.

Convenient.

Here is: A pretty large hammock, strung right across the open-ish front room of Terence's apartment. It's big enough that it's practically square, not the usual rectangle.

"Time to see if this will work for you."

Pen clambers into it. It's a little awkward, but sort of okay if she has her wings only partly open.

"I can look into getting a real bed if it's too uncomfortable... They're just harder to find and more expensive than even extra-large hammocks."

"Is okay..."

"Is the problem the bendy middle part, or that it's too small, or something else?"

"Bendy middle part. Makes my wings be up and the rest of me be down."

"Hmm... The bendy middle is so it doesn't tip over. How about I un-bendy the middle and tie either side to the wall?"

"Maybe that work."

So he tries that. Weaving strips of wood across the middle part, bundling up the fabric at the edge, tightening the central ropes.

After ten minutes it will still bend in the middle a little bit, but not much more than a full bed.

"Before I nail it to the wall, try it while I'm holding it steady?"

Flop. "...now is kind of hard in parts with wood. Put pillows?"
