[ it's a good day to be Spitfire. amazing, actually. ]

[ he's alive, his feet are working, the wind is howling in his ears and the flames that seem to burst from his heels are coloring the sky red and orange. ]

[ he's holding the camera as he makes his way on top of the bank so the picture is shaky. it becomes more steady as he slows down and eventually stops to draw a breath. yeah, look at that, he's breathing. ]

[ once he faces the camera he tries to look serious but can't hide that certain glimpse of joy and euphoria that you get when you run until your lungs burn. ]

I owe you one, Sky King.

Something stupid. Throw a punch in his general direction if you happen to see him.

[merespark]

If I sink like a stone in the next few minutes, I guess yeah. Something could be missing.

[merespark]

But you'll be there to catch me, right?

[errandry]

... don't say that like you're gonna fall anytime soon! And they're—they're pretty good about holding up their end of deals, anyway.

Something he's probably going to regret later.

No, not probably. He is going to regret it.

[merespark]

[ embrace it because you'll never hear it again. ]

I don't bow to toads.

Which you are, maybe even literally. Scared to show your face? Did you trade off your pretty eyes, perhaps?

[infernoandhearth]

[pretty.]

Are you flying using the fire or is it just a terribly nice effect?

[merespark]

Now now, I don't let out my secrets that easily, I'm afraid.

[infernoandhearth]

[Lineface.] You film your secrets?

[valentineluke]

Just freed from the well?
