"Flight. It was something I have always dreamt of being able to do. Not because I liked the way the air felt in my face, but because it was a way for me to run away from the pain back in the wastelands."
"How is it? Do you feel anything different? Or painful?" Petunia looked at Gem with the most careful eyes which made Gem snap back to reality from having her internal monologue there.
"Huh? No. Actually, I don't feel anything different. Are you sure it's going to work?" Gem asked both Fily and Petunia who could only answer her with an unsure nod.
"Hmm," Gem nudged her head to the side and tried taking a few steps away from the crowd when suddenly, all Gem could hear were the gasps and chuckles of the two girls behind her.
"Huh?" Gem turned around and found herself making direct eye contact with Von- which at that point was in her eye level for the first time, curling Gem's eyebrows from her drained enthusiast to his unflattering humor.
