Cassie nodded and grinned at Celena, forcing herself to let go of the darker thoughts that seemed to haunt her. For right now, there was no fighting, no pain, no fear, and no immediate reason to worry. There was only the incredible feeling of the air beneath her wings and Celena's excellent company. She was going to enjoy this rare experience and that was that. < I wish that everybody could experience the wonder that is flight at least once. > Then she hesitated a moment as another thought crossed her mind. < Although I suppose that could end up frustrating people more then helping them. After all, the experience would have to end eventually and that could leave them disappointed. >

< Thank you, > Cassie said softly with a grateful smile. It was nice to be able to talk to Celena like this and she was thrilled to have this opportunity to learn more about her new friend. < That kind of ability would certainly be helpful. So many misunderstandings seem to happen because we can't read each other well enough. > A soft chuckle escaped her lips. < Sometimes I feel like we should just write on our foreheads precisely what we're feeling. Think of all the time and grief that could be saved! I suppose that wouldn't work out all that well in the long run though. >
