This was it. Today was her day - she was finally going to fly. Laini had had Jicho lead her to the top of a cliff, up in the God's Haven. Ever since she'd been attacked, the young goddess had felt far safer up in the cloudy land that no mortals could reach, and there also weren't as many creatures around to get in her way. This was a very important step in her life - she wanted it all to go perfectly.
Laini's wings were small - she'd been told you didn't need wings to fly, not if you were a deity. After all, Gods and Goddess' without wings could still fly. But Laini hadn't learnt how to do that yet, and as such her wings were the only way the youngster could think of to fly with. "Okay Jicho..," she mumbled, to the bat familiar perched on her shoulder a little precariously, "This is it. You ready?" There was silence, and finally a nervous chatter. The bat really wasn't ready - but he didn't want to hold the Goddess back. She'd been going on about how she wanted to fly for as long as he could remember.
Laini took a deep breath, holding it for a few moments before exhaling. And then, with a gleeful cry, she threw herself off of the cliff, wings extended to their fullest. She tried to flap them, but it wasn't working - keeping them open achieved something, though. Instead of plummeting downwards, the small feathered wings caught the air, allowing the young Goddess to glide to the ground. It wasn't exactly flying - but it was pretty damn close.
The looks of glee on Laini's face when she landed was priceless, the blue Goddess unable to stop giggling, "I flew! Jichojichojicho I flew!"

Hmm? Laini pivoted on the spot, caught by surprise - by the time she'd realized someone was speaking to her, the words had stopped, and she wasn't able to figure out which direction to face. Blind, faded eyes dashed about, unable to see or pick up Lucretia. However, the snow was helpful, the crunching of Lucretia's footsteps allowing Laini to at least face herself in the right direction, even though her eyes couldn't focus too well.
Jicho, strangely enough, wasn't...doing anything. Usually he'd fly at a stranger, attack them, try to distract them so the vulnerable young Laini could have time to escape. However, since Lucretia was of a similar age to Laini, he'd assessed that she didn't pose much of a thread - and besides, it was about time the young Goddess made some friends her own age. "Who's there?" she asked, the lack of focus from her eyes likely giving away her disability.

Posh name? Oh...okay. Laini still didn't quite understand, but shrugged it off, getting the feeling her new friend wasn't going to tell her much more. A formal definition was recited, and Laini listened intently, her maw forming a small 'o' of realization. "Ohhhhh, okay. That makes more sense...kinda."
Slightly bored of the conversation now, Laini wagged her tail playfully, beginning to bounce from side to side, faded eyes almost...sparkling a little with excitement. Jicho gave a disgruntled chatter, irritated that he was having to grip the young Goddess considerably harder to prevent himself falling off. "Lets play a game, Lucretia! ...You're my friend now, right?"

Laini heard the tell-tale crunch of snow under Lucretia's feet, and darted off in the opposite direction with delighted giggles. She'd gotten used to running a long time ago - there was a certain way she angled her feet, to make sure they landed verticaly on the ground between each stride, rather than diagonally, which could produce tripping hazards. Jicho suddenly gave a squawk, and Laini pivoted, turning left just in time to avoid a large rock.
However, needless to say, she wasn't as fast as she could have been with her sight. The way she had to angle her feet meant she was naturally slower, and this all meant it wouldn't be too difficult for Lucretia to catch up.
However, she did have her secret weapon.
