[ she'd seen him jump that day after they'd been granted access to the wishing well. it's not like she hasn't been that far up in the sky herself before, whether it was because of her flight unit or simply not bothering to walk down an incline and just jumping to the bottom instead...
hm.
she briefly shares a look with her pod, then nods and takes jae-ha's hand. ]
[And because it's Jae-ha and he likes to test his luck, he pulls her close with his hold on her hand. With a step, he wraps an arm around her waist and hums as he leans in.]
it's a great thing she's a battle android with extensive training, which means she doesn't flinch at all when he enters her space. she's able to stand her ground and say, in her usual indifferent tone, ]
[ now that actually takes her by surprise. usually it's her sweeping people into her arms, making sure they're safely nestled in her hold. to be carried by someone else... is a feeling she's not sure how to reconcile. ]
[ to be fair, if he'd said that she would've just responded logically ("i'm an android equipped with advanced combat machinery, what did you expect?"), but. ah well. maybe it's for the best.
as they soar into the sky, pod lags behind them, diligent in its duty to always be by 2b's side. 2b is mostly unfazed by the sensation as the wind whips against their skin, but there's still a hint of wonder in her expression... if anything, she's more interested in how this is happening. ]
[ wtf... that's cute... pod isn't expecting that, and relays the following to 2b:
"Alert: this unit is unfamiliar with being handled by anyone other than Unit 2B. However, this does not seem to be a threat to either this unit or Unit 2B. Pod 042 wishes to confirm this action with Unit 2B."
to which she responds with a gentle nod, and pod comfortably perches on jae-ha's shoulder. he's good people? ]
[look jae-ha knows a thing or two about following someone that you're sworn to protect, so he has no issue with pod getting a chance to just rest with him as the jump takes them up, up, and he holds onto 2b even as the ground is so far below them
they can probably see the whole maze outline from here?]
Ahah... yes, thought it was assigned to me since birth. It's not ideal... but it's not all bad.

Where to?
[ she's easy for now. ]

[and he'll move to head outside, so that they can at least manage to see the sky
he holds a hand out to her]
Trust me?

[He's playing.
But look.
He's gotta try.]

You're pushing it.
[ ...
it wasn't a no. ]
no subject
But Jae-ha laughs, apparently content with that much.]
Ah, then pardon me.
[ - is what he says, but he's actually going to lift her up into a princess carry if there's still no sword in his stomach.]
It'll actually be easier this way.
[and also
he just likes it]

Jae-ha—?!
[ we shoujo now ]

no subject
Hence why he smiles.]
Just trust me.
[and he will bend at the knee before jumping, hurtling them both up into the air. OFF THEY GO]

Is this the power of your dragon leg?
no subject
Up until that point though, he's alright with carrying 2B up into the sky and humming happily in response to her question.]
That's correct. A leg that will allow me to soar into the skies - it's one of the few perks of the job.
