What is this?? What is her face doing??
He nods slightly.
"If- if that's okay."
GABRIEL NO
He looks away again, still griping her hand.
What do I do now??

Her smile could have broken her face in two. "I've never had anyone teach me before. All I know I've just figured out myself. But hey," she grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him closer so he had to look her in the eyes. "First, I need to know what to call you. What's your name?" She asked gently, staring into his eyes.

He presses his eyes closed, not knowing what to expect, and shoves her away with his hands, though he's not strong enough to actually move her.
"Gabriel! Gabriel, please."
He bites the inside of his lip again.
Ahh, so close. Please stop.
He tries to calm himself, focusing on her breathing. Which was… Surprisingly calming…

"Hey, hey," she crooned gently. Lifting her hand that he still held, she smoothed his hair back and settled her palm against the back of his neck, still holding him in front of her with her grip on his shirt. "Gabriel," she said his name purposefully. "Gabriel. I'm not going to hurt you."

Why?
"I- okay."
She's so strong.
He grabs at the sand with his hand and slips his other hand out of hers.
they're going to kill me.

Silver felt the turbulence still churning inside him. When he finally let her hand go, she pulled his head down to rest on her shoulder, her left hand still firmly behind his neck. Her right hand she rubbed over his shoulders, careful to not touch the places where his wings were. "You're safe, Gabriel," she whispered, mouth pressed into his hair. "It's okay, you're safe." She had no idea why he was so terrified of her, but if he came from the same place the rest of them had, she could only imagine what he must have gone through.

He shakily sighs and closes his eyes.
what is she doing.
He clenches his jaw again.
They're… I'm in so much trouble…

Gently she wrapped her wings around him and continued rubbing his shoulders. She kept her hand on the back of his head, but slowly worked her fingers through his hair. "Shhhh" she soothed to him. "You're okay now."

(he hates this)
He let's out a small growl, very quiet and scratchy.
Why is she like this?
A small, warm tear streaks down his cheek.
I'm. Not. Safe.
they know where I am.

Silver loosened her hold on him a little, tuning into his energy more closely than she'd ever tried to do before. Though she couldn't see his face, she could feel his tear, tracking all the way down his check. "I'm not gonna hurt you, Gabriel." She said in a more normal but still gentle tone. "You don't have to be afraid of me."

(Um, Silver is very scary)(especially to Gabe who is an abused, confused and introverted boi)(XD)(Ben's gonna be so mad if you bring him home)
He shoves goes to shove away, tu creases his eyebrows together and stays still.
She'll hurt you once she knows who you work for.
I have to get her back to them.
…Why don't I wait?
Wait until she trusts me.
He let's out a shaky sigh.
I can do this.

(for everyone's info, this is the first mission he's been on, and he's freaking out)

(NUUU WHY IS HE BEING SNEAKY) (if he betrays Silver, she'll beat the tar out of him)

Silver gently lifted his head off her shoulder and wiped the tear stain off his cheek, resting her hands on his arms as she studied his face. "What's wrong?"

(Lisa)(he's a bad guy XD)
I'll let them know it will take longer, but I might be able to bring them more.
He stares into her eyes, his face displaying only confusion rather than emotion.
They wont trust me. They'll send in someone to watch me.

Silver let out a little laugh and rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. Let's go for a fly and you can teach me stuff. Does that sound better?"

(inner conflict-ion)(btw! It's probably time for her to head home??)
It's like… 7pm
"I-I uh…"
Just leave her and come back later. You shouldn't have said you'd teach her anyways.
"Ummn…. Sure?"

(Silver doesn't care about going home right now XD and she won't just leave him. He's gonna have to slip away or run away for her to decide to go home, or she'll just stay out and fly with him all night XD)

"Great!" She leapt to her feet and reached a hand down to help him up. "Let's go."

(oki XD)
He stands on his own, not touching her hand. (he's prolly not used to that gesture)
He flares his wings out, full span, behind him and stares up at the sky.
Don't do it. How would you be able to teach her? Ten minutes up there and you'll fall.
You're going to kill yourself.
He turns his head against the wind to look at her.
Say something
"Have you practiced take off?"
Even if she has, she's terrible at it. Did you see her earlier?

Silver's eyes lit up as his wings came into view. She started at them with an awe-struck smile until he started talking.
I knew you could talk, you dumb.
"Aahhh, sort of? I mean, I know how to." She stretched her wings out and ran off a few strides, beating her wings until she lifted off the ground and then circled back to him. "That's usually kind of what I do."

That was… Horrific. Terrible. Oh man.
He crouches down and leaps into the air, his wings catching the wings and launching him upwards, much higher than her. To stay in place he beats his wings once or twice every few moments.
He looks down to her.

Silver frowned as she lowered herself back down to the sand. "I don't know if I can do that. Your wings are a lot bigger than mine." She positioned herself in the sand, feet placed apart, and crouched like he had, wings arched and ready above her. "I'll try." She jumped and beat her wings at the same time, gaining a little bit of height, but dipping back down each time she lifted her wings for another pump. She touched back down to the ground a few times and each time, crouched and launched herself again. After a few tries she finally remained in the air and fought her way straight up to hover in front of him.

That was pretty bad.
He looks over her wings, feathery and small. Well, smaller than his.
His wings could grip the air, hold it underneath them. They didn't have feathers. Maybe something else would work?
How does Kissa do it?
"I- I think maybe…" He trails off, looking down at the ground below them.
JUst. TAlk.
"Your wings are different than mine, you'll need a different take off method."
you're so quiet. Can she even hear you??

Silver couldn't quite catch his words, but she grabbed the air around them and pulled it to her ears in time to understand. "Maybe? What else would you suggest?" She kept beating her wings to try and stay in front of him, but she bounced and dipped all around. "You can probably do anything cuz your wings are like ten times bigger than mine." She tipped her head to the side as an idea occurred to her. "How do you know so much about flying? Are there others like us?" her voice rose as the idea excited her. "Is there someone who teaches people like us how to fly?"

wow. She might just come with you. Just tell her there's cookies too or something
He clears his throat a bit.
speak up
"If- if you're observant, you can learn from the birds."
Gabriel, what?!? You could've brought her in so easily!

(the poor dear fighting with himself)

"Ohh, that's a good idea." She glanced around, but the night was too dark to see much and there wouldn't have been any birds around anyway. "I've never had a chance to watch them cuz I'm always hiding." She let out a heavy sigh that could have held the weight of the world. "You know so much more than me. How have you not been caught? Don't you have to hide too?"

I-I just.
His wings disappear behind him and he tilts his head to one side.
"I can teach you. You wont have to hide." His voice is quiet, and not as scratchy as before.
GABRIEL PIERCE
CATCH THE GIRL NOT HELP HER

Her face lit up again and she reached forward and grabbed his hands. "Really? I would love that. Obviously I've been doing everything wrong, cuz we're all focused on just surviving and not getting caught." she gasped at his wings disappearing. "Whoa, you can fly when they're invisible? How do you do that?"

Ummn, it's easy?
His wings reappear, but only slightly, being see-able but transparent.
"If you have the air element, you should be able to do it."
IF SHE'S INVISIBLE YOU CAN'T SEE HER SHE'LL GET AWAY.
"Focus…. Focus on being gone. It's easiest to do your whole body."
STOP

She frowned, blinking in concentration as she tuned her senses into her own body. Since breaking through with her new skill, she'd never actually used it on herself, to notice things in herself. She'd always used it or felt it surrounding other people. Slowly she tuned into every cell of her body. She tried to imagine not being seen, being transparent, hiding in plan sight.
Everything else zoned out; Gabriel, the city, her fight with Ben, the wind in her hair. She went so deep into her own self that everything else was gone. She could feel every cell and molecule in her body and it was the only thing she could feel. Even the thoughts of becoming invisible slipped away until she was only aware of herself.

Gabriel creases his eyebrows together.
Great. Look what you did. Good job.
He sighs quietly and flies back a few paces.
She'll learn. She'll be okay.

Then, in a second, Silver was no longer tuned into her cells but her cells were tuned into everything. Every part of her body could feel the way her heart and her head had for the last two days and she could feel everything. She could feel Ben's house and everyone in it, miles away. The cars and the turbulent air and the laughter on the streets of the city. The fish and the crabs in the bottom of the lake and the thunderstorm half a state away over the horizon.
She could feel everything with every part of her body.
With a gasp she fell out of the air, hitting the sand on her knees and leaning over, her stomach wrenching itself in knots. The tiny organisms in the dirt around her screamed into her consciousness and it was too much, too much, too much. She felt like her cells were being stretched and ripped apart with all the input from the world around her.
