[This is a mingle but there is a comment in a Chain Chat to the whole train!]

Rean: A while ago some of us were discussing a festival where every team puts on a production, game, booth, whatever, maybe based around team bonds or interests.

What do people think? Maybe it's a good time to to talk about it again?

[Feel free to discuss with each other! Or just mingle as usual.]

[The fist few almost gives him a heart attack, but then he realizes what she's doing. He watches, just in case, but he doesn't freak out so much.]

[When she lands, only then does he approach, making sure he's as loud and as noticeable as possible.]

Meri?

[ Gives her wings a bit of a shake out before furling them, relishing the burn in her muscles. It feels good to push, to test her limits and prove — to herself, if nobody else — that she's still free. ]

[ One of her ears is flicked towards Dusk, keeping track of him as he approaches. ]

Feels better now.

...that's good to hear. [And there is some relief, in that.]

Nothing beats wind in your feathers. Did you know? My first memory was flying.

Hunting, too. But mostly flying, over mountains and meadows and rivers.
