Jared released the tornado around his legs as Miriam helped him up of the rooftop. His arm hurt a little bit, but that had nothing on how much she'd bruised his ego. She'd flipped him over like he weighed nothing, which actually seemed like a possibility when he thought of it; after all, he could usually transform himself in air at will. He watched as she flung herself off the roof and went to follow her, but paused. Do I really want to follow this psychopath around? he wondered. He was startled by how quickly he realised that he did actually want to follow her around – she was the only person he'd met here that had the potential to be a friend.
He jumped down after her, controlling his descent so that he came to a halt a few inches off the ground. Landing on the ground, he turned to her to address her previous statements.
“Breaking limbs and snapping necks sounds good to me.” He said, walking down the street and gesturing for her to follow her. “Not sure it quite matches up to my abilities, but I think you've demonstrated well enough that I can't rely on them alone.” He was curious about her attitude to his inqury about her appearance, and decided to respond equally as vaguely. “If you don't want to get too attached, that's fine by me.” He said. “So I think we can leave my name until we get better acquainted.” He flashed a grin at her. “Twinkletoes is fine by me, Jailbait.”
The pair continued following the street for about thirty seconds, before Eli's message came in to them.
“I know you said I needed to get in some practice, but think we can fit it in along the way? This sounds like it could be important.” He didn't wait for an answer, instead lifting himself up and propelling himself at a moderate speed towards to north, and whatever was in store for them there.
