Alaia sighed softly and sat in the chair beside Terry. She set her plate down, she wasn't thristy. She started eat her steak. Her tail was flicked nervously back and forth, back and forth. One ear rotated and the three earrings jingled.

The two adults saw that the ear move and deduced that they were real, but since they raised a boy with wings, this was nothing to be alarmed over.

Dr. Carmichael said, “Alaia, I hope you don’t find us too weird. I know the inside of my house seems a little strange to some people. So tell me a bit about yourself. What subjects do you like?”

Alaia smiled slightly. "No, I don't find you guys weird. I mean look at me....Well, history and art are my favorite subjects.." She looked at the two adults.

Carmichael nodded, “Quite true. We are all unique in our own way. It is okay to be weird. So, you like history and art. I remember when I was at the school last month to talk about the colonial era. You seemed quite attentive to what I had to say in contrast to some others in the room. You only got to look at pictures then, but here in this house, I have the real items.” Sophia turned to her and said, “That’s a lovely necklace and ring you have.”

Alaia smiled. "History is fasanating to me..." Her eyes light up. When Terry's mother spoke, she smiled "Thank you, they were an early birthday present from my adopted parents. I think it has something to do with my past.."

Carmichael put his fork down and looked at the two teenagers. “The past. That is something that you two have in common. A strange past shrouded in the fog of uncertainty. Terrence, you believe that this structure in the sky leads to the Icarians?” Terry nodded and said, “I do.” The professor said with somber face, “You do realize that the last time it was active was 15 years ago when that young man escaped with you and that its proximity to the school indicates that whoever or whatever lies beyond knows that you are in the area.” Terry mirrored his father’s solemn countenance and said, “I do.” The Professor clasped his chin and said, “I know. I know.” The boy said, “Father, I need to go. If something is up there, I don’t think I can afford to wait for it to come to me. I don’t want to put you or Mom at risk.” Sophia started to tear up, “My gallant son. I knew this day would come, but I wasn’t expecting it to come so sudden. I can see that we can’t talk you out of it. What about you Alaia? Horatio tells me that you intend to go with my son up there.”

bic: Alaia nodded slowly. She listened to them and then nodded slowly again. "I do..I have a feeling that my past has something to do with Terry's as well...My wolf parents remember a battle but not who it was with or against..They personally think it was against the Icarians but I believe otherwise...I want to go and find out the truth.." She glanced at Terry and then back at his mother.

Sophia weakly smiled and tried to talk, but couldn’t. She looked to her husband. The Professor said with an uncommon wavering voice, “For now, let’s have a small respite and try to enjoy the rest of the meal.” He sliced a piece of salmon and resumed eating in silence. Terry followed his lead and a thought entered into his mind. I could very well be eating my last meal in this house. He took a quick look at Alaia and believed that she felt the same way.

bic: Alaia nodded slowly and started to eat quietly. She saw Terry's glance and glanced at him. So..They both felt the same way. Her eyes were strongly determind and brave as she eat. She knew...that what was to come was going to be diffucult and stranger than she had ever imagined but she was ready for it..As she finished, her ear twitched and rotated. She heard something..A howl..Her father wanted to talk..but she knew she didn't have time for it..

Terry finished. He knew that he couldn’t put it off anymore. He rose from the table and said, “I need to get ready.”

He headed up the stairs to change clothes. He wasn’t going to abandon his human attire altogether though. He took out the white Icarian tunic with brown and gold trim and put it over his shirt. He then took the helmet that was beneath them. Last night, he didn’t have it on, but knew that it would come in handy. Lastly, he took his sword that was resting on the wall. He pulled it out a little to look at the hilt and then put it back. He attached the scabbard onto his belt and made sure it was secure. He estimated that the structure was about 100 feet from the ground. Giving his room one last look, he went down the stairs and returned to the dining room. Time to say good bye. His parents stood up and approached him. They hugged him and mother said, “Before it gets too dangerous, I hope you try to get back.” His father simply said, “I hope you two find the answers you seek.” His father looked at Alaia and said, “Come on, lass. Group hug."

bic: Alaia stood. She walked over to a corner and stood, waiting..As he came back downstairs, she nodded slowly..He was ready.. Alaia waited politely as he was hugged but was surprised that they told her to come over. She walked slowly over and joined the group hug, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

She looked around at the three others in the room. Knowing that the two adults trusted her and Terry.. She looked at Terry and nodded slightly. She knew that she trusted him....

Terry finished his hug and after one last tight hug, he went to the kitchen. He placed enough food and water in a bag to last a few days, but it would need to be rationed. Who knows if and when there’ll be something to eat and drink again. His wings tore through the red tee shirt he had on and brushed by the tunic on their way out. His father and mother followed him outside as he gave them some flaps to stretch them out. He called out, “Alaia. It’s time we should be going.”

bic: Alaia sighed and followed Terry outside. She nodded and said "We can get there faster if I'm like this." She closed her eyes and thought "Wolf, I want to be natural form, wolf" Her body formed into a wolf. Her eyes raised to Terry's and she barked "Let's get going." Her parents had told her that Icarians could understand wolves. So in her natural form to Terry she could talk but others would just hear barks and growls.

(ooc: Not sure if Terry's carrying her or meeting her at the school. I’ll assume the former.)

Terry bent down and picked up Alaia. He draped the cloth bag over Alaia’s head so that there would be no danger of it falling off. He whispered, “If you are afraid of heights, close your eyes and don’t look down.” He pushed off the ground with his feet and his wings started to flap to gain altitude. He held her tight and quickly getting his bearings, headed to the school and upward to their goal, the small castle in the sky.

ooc: ok!

bic: Alaia nodded. She didn't move while Terry flew, knowing the stiller she was the easier it was for him to carry her..Truthfully, she loved heights, depending...Once she climbed a mountain, she looked down and got really dizzy. She had almost fallen to her death that day. But that had been years ago and she trusted Terry and that he wouldn't let go..She sighed softly as they got higher and higher, soon they were at the school. In the air, close to whatever Terry must have seen.
