[Let's go! Let's go!]
Jade chirped loudly, even while being stuck between my chest and my coat. Only the little green head and the colorful wings were out, but the loudness was unbeatable.
"Let's go!" another familiar voice grazed my hearing, prompting me to look back to see Zia dragging a reluctant Izzi toward the roller coaster where I was sitting.
"Must we do this first thing?" the elf groaned.
"Why are you being such a wimp? Were you not the one making this thing?"
"Ugh--I made it for Valen, not for me!"
"Oh, come on! Just get in!"
With Zia's persistent dragging and pushing, Izzi got locked up on the seat and Zia jumped on the one beside him--behind me. "Val!" she hugged me from behind before fastening herself in her seat. "Why Jade in bird form today?"
"I can't spare more mana for Jade's consumption," I patted the green head apologetically. "I'm sorry, Jade."
