Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn is back in the front yard, or rather on the rooftop where she has tried several times to fly with her new wings. Unfortunately they're a bit different than what she's used to, big and cumbersome and when she leaps, it's hard to hover or flap quickly. With a cry, she crashes into a nearby tree. "Ulp!" fortunately it's not too high up from the second floor balcony but still hurts!

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah has been watching over Megan from afar. Not really stalking her but wanting to make sure she doesnt do anything too dangerous. When she lands in the tree he approaches on the balcony and watches her. "Having some trouble?" He asks, cajun accent evident in his voice as he smiles at her. He closes his eyes and through his will forms a bridge between the tree and where he is at. He seems to be focusing on it so she can get on the balcony.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn sighs, glancing at her bruised body, then the ground, wondering how she's supposed to get down when Josiah makes that bridge. She beams, crossing over the bridge to join him, "Phew, thanks! Didn't know you could do that.." her cheerfulness is short lived though, still bruised, covered in leaves and still looking like an evil creature as far as she's concerned. She sighs and slumps, "I miss my wings, and my dagger, I'm an evil freak now..." she sighs, "Can't even fly with these ungainly wings.."

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah makes the bridge vanish when she gets onto the balcony and when she begins to hurt herself with words he moves a hand to her shoulder. "This isnt permanent this can be fixed." He says as he watches her. He then looks to her wings. "This is merely a hurdle, and you will overcome it. I have faith in you." He says with a soft tone. "Have faith." He says. He then looks to Megan. "So What is so great about your dagger?" He asks curiously.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn sighs and nods, smiling faintly, "Thanks Josiah..." she shrugs, "My dagger is made of a piece of my soul. Without it, I.." she sighs, "I guess I'm missing a bit of my soul and the goblins prince filled the hole with more dark magic. If I don't get it back soon, I'll never be able to heal my soul, and I may beco e more susceptible to the darkness in my heart.." she shivers, "I don't wanna become evil, but it's hard to not feel angry and bitter all the time.."

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah smiles as he watches her. "I would say something about god saying magic and witches are considered evil, but I believe overall magic is a gift, much like time and space. Afterall many of his disciples and prophets used magic to help others." Josiah says as he watches her. He then takes her hand and kisses her knuckles. "I believe the good in you will outshine the bad. Afterall, which is better, to be pure good, or to have evil tendencies and not giving into them?" He asks curiously.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn arches a surprised brow at him, "Wow really? You do t think magic is evil? Only, I dunno, I mean I've seen what it did to Illy, and I should consider myself lucky, Afterall my soul is only tainted a bit...She doesn't have much light left, only now...I dunno if that is still the case."

She does blush a bit at the kiss though, smiling faintly, "Thank you for your confidence in me, Josiah..I hope you're right...Say, can you create wings with that light force too?" Megan smiles at a thought.

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    "IT is how I travel about the city mainly." Josiah says as he creates his usual angellic wings made of light energy. He then causes them to shrink to look like her former wings and flickers them at her. "No faerie dust I am afraid." He says as he watches her.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, peering at them curiously and steps closer, "They're sooo pretty, that's so cool how you can change them..Can I touch them? What's it feel like? Oooh, can you make em look like mine?" she pouts a bit, not knowing if he even wants them to look less...Angelic..

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah takes a breathe and soon they resemble her wings only made of light. When felt they feel solid but very warm, almost hot. They almost feel like actual flesh. He then smiles as he watches her. "So you like them?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn gasps a bit at the feel of his wings, smiling a little, "Wow, they're really..Soft and warm..They're really pretty too..Cool trick!" she arches a brow, "So how fast can you fly?"

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    "As fast as a car. Not a speed demon I am afraid." Josiah says with a shrug as he watches her and he smiles. "See you feel better." He says with a grin and he chuckles a little. "So how do you feel?" He asks curiously as he studies her.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "Hey, that's fast enough, me too! I mean, go much faster than a car without armour and you rip your skin off and can't breathe!" she smiles, "I'm having to relearn to fly with these awkward new wings of mine but maybe you can help me?"

Firefly (Barrows) has posed:
    Josiah nods. "Most of the time I make giant wings to lift my body weight." He says as he watches her. "I can teach you. Actually you know what? I was going to join Shannon in the kitchen to help bake some cookies. How about you come with us. Should help you get your chocolate fix." He says as he watches her.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn ooohs, "Cookies sound good!" she smiles, some of that old cheerfulness coming back to her. "Sure, I'll bet Shannon could help out too! Lead on!"
