[As they make their decent toward the shores of the Salt Lake, Cloudpiercer raises his body upward. With a mighty whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! of his wings to slow down, his talons spread out, and he seamlessly glides into a landing. The transition is as natural and smooth as any wild animal's touch-down onto solid ground. Vyng doesn't "steer" or give any vocal commands, instead trusting the thunderbird to act autonomously.

Once Cloudpiercer settles down and tucks his wings back against his sides, Vyng gently releases the tuft of feathers at the back of his friend's neck.

"Thanks, buddy," he murmurs, sharing his gratitude through their spiritual connection. Cloudpiercer clicks his beak in acknowledgment — fully aware he's doing his druid companion a solid, but glad to help regardless.

Only then does Vyng look back at Obi-Wan with a rakish grin.]

Enjoy the ride?

thanks for your patience!

[He didn't expect Obi-Wan to accept. But their fingers interlock as Vyng takes a step back, and then another. At the same time, his other arm curves around his friend's side — like he's about to lead them into a dance.

Not a word is spoken, but, against the pink glow from beneath them, the amused gleam in Vyng's eye is unmistakable. His mouth curls into a gentle, unspoken question: Up for a spin?]

no worries <33

[ obi-wan's expression or body language doesn't seem to change. in many ways, it often seems he's implacable, unchanging, but he doesn't worry about it. he doesn't need to. because he knows vyng can hear it. the song of his heart. his fingers squeeze vyng's hand as the corners of his eyes crinkle, of course. ]

[Vyng hears it. For all their differences, they share a common language. Even if nothing outwardly changes, Obi-Wan's actions ring true.

His Omen, perched along the shore next to Cloudpiercer, offers part of a song through the telepathic thread that connects her kind to Sleepers. Vyng recognizes it immediately: His and Tuck's latest musical obsession. He leans into the dreamlike chords...and steps into the beginning of a slow, floating waltz.

Vyng isn't quite sure whether their footwork will match (or how long he can keep this up), but he's willing to try all the same.]

[ it does not need to match. their cultures, their identities, their worlds and even their languages do not match. it is through trench that such divides can be broached, but obi-wan believes in his heart they always could have been. it is not the idealism of soul mates, but soul touched, perhaps.

after all, in the force, they are all but luminous beings. ]
