It was an exceptional night for a flight. The sheer freedom of stretching his wings to their fullest, an arc over a tree, twist with the wind, a dive. It was freedom in a way that few could appreciate. Once he reached, what he deemed was a decent height, keeping watch for the various things Kellen had warned him against, he studied the city. It was pretty from so far above, the tiny city lights mirroring the twinkling stars. The curving lines of the highway, arching around and through the odd shadows from the buildings. It was larger than he expected, and he spent almost half of his hour simply circling it, learning it from an angle few else did.
The rest of his time was spent farther way, past the outskirts of the city, the smaller clusters of buildings out of sight. He wasn't worried about getting lost, ask the glow from the city made the sky appear lighter, and Anax enjoyed himself. Loops and sharp turns, high climbs and sudden dives. There was little better than a nice soothing night flight. Anax was more relaxed now than he had been since the summoning. He had always made it a point to appear relaxed, even if Cassie had surprised him, even if he wasn't.
When he returned to the field, he honestly did not think about giving a warning, Anax simply landed, a small cloud of dust curling around his feet, wings spread to keep his balance steady. His tail twitched a couple of times, assisting in the delicate balance. Again, there was that full bodied stretch, much like someone would give after a good workout or a long nap, before he prudently took the time to change back. For a minute, Anax stood there, taking in the contrast of the deep shadows behind Kellen and the brightness of the light illuminating her face.
He wandered back over to her, hands tucked away into his pockets and marveling slightly at the fact that his clothes appeared to be completely intact. That was actually something he hadn't considered. After all, it wasn't like he actually ever wore them before. That was probably a good thing, maybe?
"What are you studying?"
