"I dunno. I'm flat anyways, so it's not like it matters," Sylvia replies.
She looks around the store, stopping dead in her tracks.
She then looks at Finn.
"I'm going to be back, I need to go explore everything."
She walks away and disappears.
"Uh, sure. We'll just stay here." Finn replied. It was a women's clothing store anyway, so looking around didn't do him or Teagan any good.
Sylvia squeals as she looks around, finding all sorts of clothes.
She looks at clothes like the the ones she was wearing, choosing unsaturated reds and pinks and blues, baggier hoodies and shirts and short shorts that ammount up to wearing basically nothing.
She brings them all back.
"I want this stuff." she announces.
"Um… right." Finn awkwardly replied, taking the pile of clothes from her and looking over at Teagan. Thank god they had some savings. They headed to the front to buy the clothes, and then Finn offered the bags back to Sylvia if she wanted to change into them.
Sylvia takes the bags, smiling.
She skips into a changing room and puts on a blue shirt, a red hoodie and one of her pink pairs of shorts, hopping back out.
She was still barefoot, though.
"Thank you!"
"Of course. Glad you like them." Finn smiled softly, glad that Sylvia was finally willing to wear clothes. "Do you want any shoes? You might hurt your feet walking around barefoot like that."
Sylvia smiles.
"No shoes. You've made me wear pants, you can't make me wear shoes," she huffs.
"Fine, fine. Baby steps." Finn sighed softly. "You might want them at some point, though. Anyway, let's get going."
"Yeah! Let's go! I wanna explore!" Sylvia giggles.
She skips out of the store, oblivious to the passerby.
Finn and Teagan followed her out, keeping close to ward off any passerby who were a little too interested. "What all do you want to see?"
Sylvia turns, eyes sparkling.
"An aquarium. A zoo. A museum."
"Uh… we'd probably have to drive to get to any of those things. There aren't any within walking distance."
"Driving? Walking? I don't need to do either." Sylvia snorts.
Her back starts to shift, and feathery wings sprout from her back, twice as long as she was tall.
"Nanobots embedded into my skin allow me to do things like this-" she grins, taking flight.
"That's… that's great and all, but Teagan and I can't fly!" Finn called up to her from the ground. "Driving would probably be the quickest way for all of us to get anywhere."
Sylvia chuckles.
"You misunderstand me-" she says, her legs sprouting into a harpy eagle's legs and easily grabbing hold of the twins.
"It isn't just my back."
Both twins exclaimed in surprise and didn't seem to particularly enjoy being in the air. Finn especially kept his eyes closed and clung tightly to Sylvia so he wouldn't fall.
Sylvia woops as she starts flying forward. She looks down at Teagan.
"Can you give me directions, though? I honestly don't know where to go."
Teagan sighed and started trying his best to direct Sylvia. He hadn't ever gone anywhere in the air before, after all. Finn kept his eyes shut the whole way.
Sylvia smiles as they reach their first destination: the aquarium.
She swoops down to a foot above the ground and lets the twins go, then lands herself.
Finn threw out his arms to keep himself from falling, feeling a little queasy. Teagan was out of breath, but otherwise seemed okay. "Alright, we're here. Let's head in. "
Sylvia squeals and nods, pushing open the doors.
She looks around; even the entrance was amazing to her, with its colorful designs and the small fish in the ceiling aquarium.
Finn and Teagan followed close behind her, looking around as well. They'd been to the aquarium before, of course, so it wasn't nearly as exciting for them.
When Sylvia found the shark exhibits, she froze, then squealed.
"Ohmygod! I love them! They're so beautiful!"
"The sharks? They're kinda dangerous." Finn replied, seeming to have recovered from the whole flying ordeal. "They're neat though, I guess."
"I'm dangerous, too, and yet I'm pretty damn cute. Beauty is merely a cover for great violence." Sylvia says philosophically.
Finn shrugged. "I guess so. I like the rays, personally." He looked up at the manta rays swimming around in the same tank.
Sylvia watches the rays for a moment.
"Most people forget that these animals are all capable of killing us. The sharks with their teeth, the rays with their tails."
"Well, manta rays don't have barbs I don't think. Just the stingrays." Finn shrugged and moved onto another room.
Sylvia shrugs too.
"I wouldn't know. All I know is that any of these creatures are perfectly capable of killing us."
She follows after Finn.
"Most of them, yeah. I don't think this guy could do very much." Finn looked into a tank full of little fluorescent fish.
