Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arkhel's face broke out in a grin, and he zipped to the left, allowing Koi to fly by, then, before the touched the ground, he grabbed her and took off, flying straight up. His well-maintained wings and honed flight muscles gave him absolute control, even while holding a squirming Koi. He flew up and landed on the ceiling of the cavern- upside down! "How's this for quick?" He teased as his wings hummed furiously to keep them off the ground. He then flipped over, taking a neutral hovering position in mid-air, holding her closely.

The grin across Arkhel's face became a mischievous one. "Why not?" He asked, and then, without waiting for an answer, he let go of her. He flew beside her as they fell, and caught her again just before they reached the floor of the cavern. He chuckled, quite amused, and then gently landed, setting Koi firmly beck on solid ground.

"Ah, but it was fun, wasn't it?" Arkhel teased at her. He brushed his nose a bit to remove the tickling sensation. "What were you expecting, that's I'd let you fall and hurt yourself? Besides, what where you expecting when you asked for see 'quick'?"

"You really are a pacifist, aren't you?" Arkhel asked with a grin. "Flying is fun, isn't it? I kinda feel sorry for the Dwarves. They spend all day underground whacking rocks and trying to find gold. Probably none of them will ever learn what it's like to fly," He gave a mischievous wink then, "Without our help, that is. Ever heard of Dwarf Dropping? Dwarves are hard creatures, so they don't get hurt, but it's just about the most hilarious thing that you'll ever see!"

Arkhel chuckled deviously and then took Koi's hand, pulling her back towards the tunnels that would lead to the Dwarven realms. "Can you see in the dark at all? Or will I have to carry you?" He teased at her, obviously expecting and intending to carry her anyways. "Have you ever seen a Dwarf?" He asked as they walked towards the entrance to the tunnel. "They aren't always the friendliest folks, but they're not all bad."

"Well, you'll see one soon." Arkhel chuckled at her. He stopped her shortly after, before the ran face-first into a rock wall. "We have to go up, over, then down here." He instructed. "Can you see well enough to fly in here? There's some rather pointy rocks ahead, and it would a pity if you found yourself stuck on one. It's also pretty narrow. Barely big enough to fly through." To illustrate the point, he tapped a rock near enough for her to hear it. "It would be pretty bad if you cut one of your wings. It would be a shame for you to die in here." He moves his hand from the rock to one of her wings, gently feeling it over for a moment.

Arkhel smiled, but Koi couldn't see it. "I already considered that." He commented. "And I figured out what to do. I've flown through here hundreds of times, so I've pretty much got the passage down, plus I can see perfectly in here." His eyes started to glow dimly with a deep red. "So, I'm going to carry you." he continued, "You'll have to hold really tightly though, or else we won't fit through. I mean, really tightly. Wrapped legs and everything." he said this without emotion, obviously ignoring the possible romantic interpretation of the pose. "I can beat my wings in between the rocks to get up, I've practiced that a lot, so as long as you don't shift around and stay close, it shouldn't be much of a problem."

"Nah, don't waste your energy. It might be better that you don't see, actually." Arkhel replied. "Your screams would distract me." He said with an invisible grin. "Ready to go?" He asked innocently.
