Wolfe didn't seem displeased. Soon he leveled out again and started flying in a slower pace. "Look, Raven," he shouted to him over the wind. The sun was just starting to come up over the horizon.

It took a little while, but Raven finally looked out at the horizon. The vertigo seemed to catch him again for a short while before he managed to get control over the fear.

Wolfe flew steadily for awhile, "Don't you trust me?" he asked after awhile when Raven's clinging still hadn't let up.

Raven glanced back at Wolfe with a partially fearful and partially upset expression. Yeah, but did he really have to prove it right now? He swallowed and took a few deep breaths before slowly easing up and eventually letting go with his legs. His arms didn't get much looser though.

Wolfe stretched a little, "Much better," he told Raven, "Ah, here it comes!" he shouted just as the light of the sun hit them.

Raven flinched a little at the light, but looked out at the sunrise as his eyes adjusted.

It really was stunning from this high up. Wolfe suddenly dropped into a corkscrew before leveling out again.

Raven shouted again, legs wrapping around Wolfe once more. When Wolfe leveled out a red faced Raven cussed into Wolfe's shoulder a little.

Wolfe was laughing, he seemed very amused.

A slightly shaking Raven tried to kick Wolfe a little, but it didn't really work since his legs were still wrapped around him.

Wolfe continued to laugh. Actually, he seemed pretty relaxed. The most relaxed Raven had ever seen him. Which was ironic as Raven continued to cling to him.

--

Laurel blinked awake, woken by the wind still blowing around. She stared at the open door on the side of the Juttle. "... What?" she looked around and noticed Raven was gone. "Raven?!" she shouted as she stood. Rosen woke with a start only to roll over and try to sleep again.

Laurel check the the whole Juttle before starting to panic. She burst into Nic's room, "NIC!" she shouted, almost hysterical, "I think Raven fell out!"

"You're nuts!" Raven decided, letting go a little with his legs to kick Wolfe with slightly better results. Except his shoe slipped off.

--

Nic grunted awake, but didn't seem to believe Laurel. "... Even Raven isn't that stupid," Nic replied.

Wolfe blinked looking down as the shoe fell, "Should we get it?" he asked.

--

"The door is wide open and he's gone!" Laurel continued to shout, "Maybe he leaned against it and fell out!"

Raven's face paled as he looked down, distressed at the distance and the loss of his shoe. "... G-Get?" he muttered.

--

Nic remained calm. "Juttles are built for idiots like him," he reassured Laurel as he slowly started to get up. "What does Rosen think?"

"Hmm... let's get it," he decided before suddenly shutting off his jet pack and instantly free falling towards the earth.

--

"R-Rosen?" she asked, having completely forgotten about him. Suddenly she bolted from the room. She returned moments later, "He doesn't know!" she declared, more likely he was half asleep and didn't care. "But Raven would never knowingly jump out of one of these things! He must of fallen out, we have to go back!"

Raven started shouting again to no one's surprise. But after a little while he managed to stop bursting Wolfe's eardrum and slowly open his eyes.

The view of the landscape below was again, breathtaking. Wolfe was amused again and reached out, easily catching the shoe as they dropped past it. After a few more seconds they slowly stopped falling as Wolfe turned his pack back on. They hovered in place for a long moment.

Raven clung a little tighter to Wolfe as they stopped. Once the color started coming back in his face again he loosened his grip again and looked at Wolfe.

Wolfe looked really attractive in the growing morning light. With the tension gone from his face he looked years younger and looked more like he had when they had first met. "Like flying yet?" he asked in a joking voice.

Raven was quiet for a long time, face a little red as he looked at Wolfe. Then he replied, "I think... my other shoe is starting to slip."

Wolfe blinked, "Well, that won't do," he replied, shifting Raven in his arms a little before suddenly flipping him around. Raven was now upside-down. Wolfe quickly took off Raven's other shoe before tossing him right side up again.

--

Laurel glared at Nic, "Fine!" she said, barely stopped herself from shouting again, "I don't care if you don't believe me, I'll go after him myself!" and bolted from the room, slamming the door behind herself.

Raven yelped a little as Wolfe flipped him. Face pale again as Wolfe flipped him back upright. That... wasn't what he had in mind.

--

"Stop!" Nic shouted after Laurel, quickly jumping out of bed. He stumbled a little and drew in a sharp breath as he remembered he had no shirt on. But he stumbled toward the door anyway.

Wolfe didn't seem to realize that as he held up both shoes, "All good now?" he asked.

--

By the time Nic got out of the door there was a scream, presumably Laurel's, followed by an awful lot of cussing from Rosen.

It took Raven a few more moments to get his bearings. "... Not... quite... what I was going for," he replied.

--

Nic ran over to the door, grabbing for an emergency parachute on his way over.

Wolfe looked confused. Then he blinked, "Oh," he said awkwardly before slowly turning off his jet pack once more and they fell again, free-falling towards the earth.

--

Rosen was cussing, still groggy as he fumbled with a jet pack. He blinked at Nic, "Should you even be up?" he shouted over the wind.

Raven yelped a little again before trying to get over the fear faster than he had the last time.

--

Nic didn't stop to listen to Rosen. As soon as his hand wrapped around the parachute, he jumped out the Juttle.

Wolfe let it last a little longer before he stopped, grinning again, "You like it, right?" he teased.

--

Laurel was curled up into a ball, falling fast.

"... You do," Raven noted once he had his bearings again.

--

Nic started diving toward Laurel, putting on the parachute as he sped toward her.

Wolfe shrugged, "You don't think it's fun?" he asked, surprised.

--

Laurel didn't react when Nic reached her, she stayed curled in a ball.

"... I'm not sure I could do it on my own. But I think it would be fun to fly with you if you scared me a little less," he teased.

--

Once his hands were free, Nic reached out and grabbed Laurel's arm, trying to get her to uncurl a little.

Wolfe blinked again, "Scaring you?" he asked in play shock.

--

Laurel would not uncurl.

Raven kicked Wolfe a little again.

--

So Nic got the best grip he could on her, trying to get his arm around her stomach.

Wolfe loosened his grip on Raven for a second in response, still giving him a teasing smile.

--

From his grip on her, Nic could tell that Laurel's body was completely tense.

Raven managed not to yelp as he clung tighter to Wolfe.

--

Once he had a firm grip, he tried to slow them down as he looked up to check on Rosen's progress with that jet pack.

Wolfe laughed again, "C'mon, I'm not going to drop you. Relax and enjoy the view a little."

--

Rosen didn't seem to be coming. Apparently he deemed Nic able to handle this situation.

Plus, someone had to say in the aircraft.

"... I am," Raven tried teasing.

--

So Nic started looking around for another means to get back onto the Juttle.

Wolfe looked like he was about to reply but then suddenly looked straight up and blinked.

--

Directly below Nic was Wolfe and Raven.

Raven blinked before following Wolfe's eyes and then cussing. Nic sure knew how to spoil the mood.

--

So Nic tried to adjust Laurel and himself so that they'd pass right by Wolfe and Raven.

Wolfe took one moment to size up the situation and then promptly dropped Raven. As Nic dropped by, he reached out and ripped Laurel away from him.

Raven started shouting again as he began to fall.

As soon as Wolfe had a good grip on Laurel, Nic turned his attention to falling Raven.
