does not anymore work

[campanas]

Here, in a place where she is quite an unexpected sight, is:

an eight year old girl with brown-flecked white wings, looking dismayed and lost.

Comments

[campanas]

"Angels very warm. Is inconvenient when hot places, but Mommy safed us, so only a bit too warm."

[whatamithinking]

"Convenient. Well, unless there are any objections, I'm going to see if I can find some old clothes in your size to cut wing holes in."

[campanas]

"Okay. Not skirts. Because flying."

[whatamithinking]

"No skirts, or any skirts should be accompanied with leggings?" Edie gestures at Emily's beskirted figure.

[campanas]

"Leggings maybe work," concedes Pen. "Also maybe a pretty dress for not flying in."

[whatamithinking]

"Sure thing," Edie says, and leaves, presumably to acquire clothing.

"So what do you usually do for fun?"

[campanas]

"Sing fly play games read."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Well, we've got plenty of books, and flying's definitely always fun. Shall we head to the library, then? Most of the books are there, and the main library windows are a traditional take-off point for flying students who don't want to climb the stairs to the roof."

[campanas]

"Okay."

[iamnotpolaris]

They head to the library!
Most of the chairs aren't really designed for people with wings, but there are some comfortable objects probably originally intended as footrests that appear to have been pressed into the same service.
"Remind me to introduce you to Warren at some point," Emily says as she looks at them.

[campanas]

"Who is?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"Warren Worthington. The third. He's the only other person here right now with birdlike wings. Angel Salvadore has wings too, but hers are shaped like a dragonfly's."

[campanas]

"But he not an angel, just some guy?"

[iamnotpolaris]

"He's a mutant, yes. But I think he'd like to go flying with you. He always insists there's a difference between floating on magnetic fields and feeling the air catch under your own wings."

[campanas]

"Probably yes."

[iamnotpolaris]

"So! What first, flying or books? I have no idea if the fact that these books are from a universe you've never been to before is a positive or negative."

[campanas]

"Maybe interesting, maybe not, dunno." Pause. "Is good you speaking a language I pentagon."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Pentagon? That was one of the kinds of wishes, right?"

[campanas]

"Yes. After square before hex."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Mmkay, fiction's over here..."

[campanas]

Pen browses fiction. Anything for eight-year-olds here?

[iamnotpolaris]

Yep, absolutely. Pen is not even the youngest child in the building.

[campanas]

Pen picks out a book and looks for something backless to sit on.

[iamnotpolaris]

There are, as previously mentioned, squashy probably-footstools.
