Nothing from the surface, magical or otherwise, opposes their descent.

And she leaps off as soon as they're within a few miles of the surface, plummeting faster than gravity would suggest she should and landing in a crouch a few seconds later, a powerful and visible shroud of chakra snapping around her in a controlled swirl to prevent any sonic booms or friction problems.

That's... one way to get down. Guess she really was feeling claustrophobic.

She lands in a clearing. The grass is about knee high, with pockets of wildflowers dotting bright colors to relieve the greenery. The trees around it are mostly broadleaves, normal-sized to people who didn't grow up in Hashirama tree country.

A rabbit pokes its head up to see her landing, and promptly scurries away.

(She'd very politely broken her fall in the last moment, so there isn't even a crater under her.)

She spreads her arms and laughs - and then jumps to the top of the highest tree. (Even if it's a little tiny baby tree.)

She can see the ocean to the north, glittering in the sunlight. Mountains to the east, rising steep and high. To the southwest- a winged creature circling. Probably not a bird.

"Are you okay?" Ellie calls up once she gets out of the ship.

"Been a while since I was better."

She's completely uninjured, of course.

"That's. Uh. Good."

"I'm staying," she says quietly. "In this world."

Permalink

"Didn't quite catch that, sorry."

Permalink

...Sigh.

She jumps down.

"I don't want to get back on the ship. I'm staying."

Permalink

"...Oh. Okay."

"If that's what you want."

Permalink

...Mrrrrr.

"You've been a good guest," she says. "Thanks for traveling with us."

"Do you mind if we hang out for a bit, and maybe visit again someday?"

Permalink

She hesitates, then: "I'd - like that."

"You've been good hosts."

Permalink

"I hope you can find some happiness here."

"So do I."
