Prose

There was a much taller girl following somewhat behind Flow--not that Utsuho would notice, as busy with her phone as she was. She's walking instead of floating around--more time to send dumb texts to people--and is set to just keep walking right on by when something catches her eye.

"Unyu?"

Yes, that's the noise she just made. She was mid-mutter; more coherent words would follow after. Was that a...cloud? Little cloud, over there. When'd that get there? Oh--some girl was carrying it.

"Did you catch it?"

That must be the reason, surely.

"Huh?" Floe blinks and looks up at the question. Predictably, the second she turns away from it the little cloud starts to dissipate. She gasps dramatically and flails a bit, making a pathetic attempt to catch the wisps as they slipped through her fingers. "Aaah, you messed me up! I was just starting to get the hang of it, too...thanks a lot!" She huffed angrily and crossed her arms over her chest, glaring up at the other girl.

It is ridiculous to try and be mad at a tall person, she thinks briefly. Especially when sitting. But dammit if she wasn't going to try.

Blink. Bliiiiink. The cloud disappeared!

"--oh, did I? Sorry."

Meant sincerely! It's just...hard to convey that when you're six feet tall and have wings and enough muscles to support those wings to look like a bouncer.

"Can't you just catch it again?"

[love_seriously]

Floe pouted with the force of a trained sulker, but something about the question and the other girl's impressive appearance made her feel a little embarrassed.

"I didn't catch it, I made it. And w-well, I mean...of course I can do it again! I could totally make another one in a second if I wanted to!" Blatant lies. But she wasn't about to admit how hard it was just to do it in the first place. "That's not the point, though!"

[idkmybfforin]

Utsuho tilted her head at this explanation. And then looked up and up until she was staring at the sky, which indeed had a few clouds scuttling across it.

"I bet I could go catch one for you!" she said, still staring intently at the sky.

[love_seriously]

"Are you even listening to me- what?" Floe followed her gaze, then looked back at her in disbelief. "You can't catch a cloud, that's not...well, actually, I guess...wait, could you really?"

Oh right. Mutant school. Her expression gave way to one of curiosity. Considering her own powers, that might actually be interesting...

[idkmybfforin]

Probably not, on the listening end.

"I could fly up there and see!" Nevermind that she had a class soon after this, or that her powers had nothing to do with flying water.
