High in the sky spied two sharp orbs looking down at the busy-ness of the City. A sharp 'kre-eeee-ar' echoed through-out the sky, as the bird of prey zipped through the sky. The hawk was looking for a spot to land for a quick break, before his wandering began once more. Purple feathers rustled in the wind current, before they shifted slightly upwards to send him further down in the sky. His eyes glistened as he spotted the perfect spot to rest. Tucking his large wings close into his body, he began a dive towards the ground. His target was locked, a rather large bare tree that was not directly in the busiest spots of Capital city. Before the diving bird hit anything, his wings opened up slowing him down tremendously. A few more flaps of his wings, and his talons reach at the branch midway in the tree. It was a comfortable spot for him, since he didn't want to be to high in the tree, yet not to low in the tree where dangers could lurk. He walked sideways along the branch until he found a rather more comfortable spot to stay. Which was more closer to the end of the branch, he still made sure the branch could handle his weight. "Now what is possibly here, that could be interesting for me" The hawk spoke softly as he turned his head around, rustling his feathers slightly almost wanting to fall asleep since there was nothing interesting around at the moment. |

Sabe had had it for the night, he too was flying high in the skies of the capital city… though for different reasons than that of the Hawk, he was out looking for a prey that costs deep within ones money purse. This pray had a name too, whispered across many cards throughout all the regions, and its name was… … Alcohol… and he didn’t like to drink alone… so he guessed that he would have to find someone to drink with today. Lucky enough for him he found someone in a tree that seemed as if they where wide awake… little did he know that this Miir was not awake… and getting closer to the dream world. Sabe flew in shallow and landed a bit more gracefully then that of the hawk. Sabe was a heron after all. He wasn’t into the whole daring dives and such, he was more of a man that did things that was necessary. As he landed near the hawk on another branch a bit lower in the tree. ”Ye there, I know this be a bit sudden, but would ye want to get a drink with me? I don’t like drinking by myself much.” he said with a head tilt. For some odd reason he felt something weird bubble up in his stomach this hawk was one of the most beautiful cards that he had seen for a long time. He silently hoped that this one was a female and not a male. |

The hawk could hear the sounds of flapping wings growing louder and louder behind him. Though he did not stir, if danger were to close in on him, he could easily make a quick get away or he could stay and fight. It just depended on the mood of the card. He felt the slight shift in the tree as another landed on the branches. The Hawk flapped his wings, as he "leaped" to the next branch. Doran's eyes darted downwards to his surprise a heron was who startled him.
The bird collected his senses before turning his body comfortably to look at the other. His feathers ruffled up as he gathered the words the card asked him. "A drink? Well that wasn't on my agenda but I have nothing better to do except wander. So I guess I could join you." Doran said stretching out his wings, than closing them once more. He looked at the other slightly tilting his head and thought to himself that this was a brave bird to sneak up on him, and just randomly asked him to get a drink with him. Frankly he rather liked the boldness of the heron, and wanted to see what else he would do.

Sabe was a bit beffudled by the hawk... why did he have such a pull on him like this? He had no idea and decided that it was up for grabs for the reason… maybe it was the prospect of drinks, and with someone that would be a advent listener. Oh… suits… he needed someone to talk to.
”That would be wonderful, I know this great place that I went to on my first visit here to the Capital.” he said gallantly. Why did it come out like that… he didn’t want to give some sort of point across to the hawk. This was starting to get weird on Sabe. He shrugged it off and opened his wings, ”Ready to fly? Oh… and how rude of me… I be Sabe.” With that he took wing and darted close to the ground before pulling back up above the streets, scaring a couple of highlanders that were walking down the street deep in conversation.
The two cursed his name before continuing.
He looked back wondering if the hawk whos name he didn’t know yet was following.

Doran listened as Sabe spoke, telling him of a great place he had been to before. The hawk noticed the gallant voice of the other, and was sortof curious why he sounds as such. The heron opened his wings as if to be ready to take off, but spoke first asking if he was ready to fly. Doran nodded as Sabe told him his name. Though before the card has time to reply of his name, Sabe was up and gone.
Wings opened as his feet pushed off the branches. His wings beat quickly to get him high off the ground in a few seconds. Though he did hear the two highlanders curse Sabe, after he flew by them giving them a scare. The hawk could only chuckle, as he picked up speed. It wouldn't take long for his wings to catch up with the other. He did notice that Sabe checked behind him to see if he was following, which he was. A few more beats of his wings and he was soon flying near Sabe. "You in a hurry to get your drink? Im Doran. He spoke looking forward as he spoke, figuring he would get his name out there while he felt like telling him. Doran didn't know where he was going, so he kept his speed down to match the heron's.

Sabe wasn’t built for speed like Doran, he was a slow flier built for endurance and control. So he wasn’t moving that fast as he picked up altitude looking for that bar that he had found. Though it was in a bit of a rough spot… which Sabe didn’t too much care for… but they did have great service. Including some non-alcoholic, more pleasurable services. It wasn’t that bad for a strip joint… this would be his second time going there, and he was planning on taking someone else to have fun… but he couldn’t find anyone on short notice until he saw the hawk in the tree… it wasn’t everyday that one saw a Villa… and a hawk at that.
He had achieved enough altitude to not run into any smoke stacks that where dotting the sky, so he craned his long neck to peer at Doran. ”Now dat be a wonderful name, it is.” when he turned back around he could make out the building off in the distance. It wouldn’t be long before he arrived there and got his Drink On.

Doran followed the heron having a bit of an issue keeping the slow pace that the other was built for. So he was mainly gliding in the air, rarely flapping his purple feathery wings. He was starting to wonder how much longer it would be before they got to this place Sabe had spoken about. His head tilted slightly as he heard the voice of the other complimenting his name. Another flap of his wings kept him up in the air gliding calmly with Sabe, and for once the hawk didn't feel lost since he was actually going to a specific place.
The hawk never had a set plan of where he was going. He just flew where ever the wind was blowing towards, so he didn't have to work so hard to wander. "So are we going to be there any time soon?" He was starting to feel like they were not going to get there any time soon.

Sabe looked to the hawk and gave a fond smile right before he tilted his right wing to dive down towards the ground. They had arrived finally, but Sabe wanted to give a bit of fun before they wouldn’t be able to for awhile. Drinking had its disadvantages on flying. With the tilt into the air and the wind rushing over his flight feathers did he see the ground coming faster and faster holding open its arms as if a loving embrace, yet that embrace spoke of a quick death… or a very long time in the hospital.
Just before he had enough room to stop did he pulls his neck up and arch his back so he could open his wings at a further decent to make the stop more effective. Though he still had to flap a few times just so he didn’t break his wing bones or snap any of his delicate long feathers.
He waited and watched to see what the hawk had to offer, as he stood outside the strip joint.

The card noticed the feathers shift of Sabe as he went into a dive towards the ground. Doran flapped his wings to slow him down to make it look as if he were hoovering in the sky. He watched closely as the heron attempted a dive, and being a bird not meant for speed would be interesting.
Sabe managed to slow himself down before he hit the ground, though to the hawk it seemed like a lot more work that what he normally did. Than Sabe was waiting for him to come down, and so the bird of prey did a backwards loop in the sky. He than let the force of gravity pull him down like a bomb, his wings flooded tightly into in body. His tail feathers kept him balanced as he fell down to the ground as a slight angle. Than in the dive his wings open up slowing him down before he caused himself injury with the ground. A few quick flaps of the wings, and he made a swift landing on the ground a few feet from Sabe. Though going at the speed he was, tumbled to his chest and his wings flapped slightly to lessen the crash. Once he regained himself he looked over at Sabe. "I am ment to land in the trees, not the ground." He than walked over towards Sabe like nothing happened at all.

Sabe couldn't help but laugh at the Hawk for his display of what Gravity was all about. He even dropped to the ground when the Villa made his statement. He was laughing so hard that he didn't realize that he started to develop tears, which was more amusing to the heron.
Sabe hadn't laughed like this in so long, he didn't even recall the last time that it something like this had happened. Though once finished did he stand up and shake his feathers off with a few chuckles here and there, but then a thought came to him, was he all right?.
Sabe walked back up to the Hawk and looked him over real quick without saying a thing; it also gave him time to read what his markings said, Feral and Vagabond... Well Sabe knew what the first one meant... but he didn't quite know what the second one meant though.
"Be ye ok Mr. Daran? ye didn't break any of ye frile bones now did'ja?" He was just happy that no one else saw that precise landing... else he wouldn't have been able to stop laughing.
