Above the planet on a wing and a prayer [Open]

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

It had been ages since he felt earth under his feet, and a sky overhead. A real one. Not like the flights over the city or even in the Sensoriums. Nathan breathed in deep, relishing the feel of the wind on his face. He could see some of the crew milling about, looking to shop or stock up on supplies. There were a few things he wanted. Some suits eventually, he had a feeling he'd need them to look professional soon. Things were shaping up and power was shifting. An election was coming up and he wanted to be prepared.

But right now. Now. He felt pressed in, even as large as the ship was, it was still finite. Granted so was this planet, but it was different. Weather patterns, air, more like home. He then shot up into the air, and took to flight. God it felt damn good to just let go. He wouldn't be surprised if others with flying ability felt the same way. The warm beat of sunlight, the air trailing over him as a boom sounded across the sky.

"Mm, exactly. I wouldn't mind a desert field to fly over, but gotta admit this is refreshing."

"I grew up by the ocean, so this suits me just fine, actually," Nanoha smiled.

Nathan nodded at that, "So did I, or there was New York Harbor. Guess that sort of counts. But was stationed in Texas for a while. Kind of liked it out there with the prairie and deserts in nearby states."

She chuckled politely. "I'm sure! Japan really isn't known for its wide plains or deserts, though."

Nathan nodded at that, though the Japan ref made him think of Hiro. Guy was kind of weird, but earnest and good hearted. He wondered if he was sleeping somewhere on the ship right now. He hoped so.

"Right, right, heard you have some beautiful mountains and coastlines though."

A nod. "Yep! That does tend to happen when you live on one big island. I've always loved the sea."

Nathan couldn't help smiling at her enthusiasm.

"Good for you. Good view around here too."

[starlightace]

Nanoha's positive attitude did tend to be infectious. She returned it. "Get enough altitude and there's always a good view," the girl said with a slightly wry tone.

"Though flying out too far might make it hard to find your way back when there's so much water."

"Why I'm just looping around the coastlines. At least some of the islands are pretty close together."
