AS they slowly moved down the fire escape, Lucian came to stare at the broken window with dread. His wings had to accommodate his large form and so they were very large and he couldn't imagine there was any way he was going to get them through that window without retracting them back into his body and reverting back to his human form. 

He slowly pulled himself away from Aneira and grabbed a hold of the railing next to him for support. "One sec." He said as he concentrated. He wasn't completely sure how he would be able to do this. He imagined his body as it was before he had the huge wingspan and markings that crawled up along his chest and arms. He felt a burning in his back as his wings began to dissolve and the feathers fell down to the ground below him, each one disintegrating into wispy white smoke. The angelic markings that decorated his arms and chest crept along his form, condensing down to three little spots, one in the middle of his chest just above his sternum and two on each palm, before those marks disappeared completely as well. Even a length of his hair fell off and dissolved into the same wispy smoke until it was at the short level it was before he took on his angelic form. 

He released a low sigh or relief before he allowed himself to be guiding through the window and into the apartment complex. He followed her lead down the hall, listening intently as he tried to keep as quiet as possible. He wasn't quite sure where they were or how on earth she found a place they could stay in an occupied apartment complex but he wasn't going to let a good thing go bad but they needed to go quickly, or as quickly as his weakened form would allow them. He was half nude, barefoot, with only pants on soaking wet and Aneira was stark nude and almost just as wet. They were quite the sight to see for anyone who might peak into the hallway. 

As they approached door 408, Lucian reached for the door handle, just as he heard someone else's door open down the hall. Before he knew what he was doing, he had grabbed Aneira and ripped the door open. He shoved her in, none too gracefully and pulled the door closed before anyone could see a totally nude woman standing next to him. He whirled around and braced himself on the door frame and crossed his arms over the nastiest looking part of his chest. He gave a small nod to the man that eyed him as he walked pass. He waited until the man walked out of sight before he slowly slipped into the apartment, almost collapsing down on the ground just in the door. 

"Close one."
