She settled back into his arm, rolling her eyes. "And now I see why your middle name is crazy." She chuckled, her cheeks reddening in the slightly awkward silence. "So- what do you do in your spare time?"

He looked back at her for a second, her voice filling the silence, then forward. "Well, eventually I'll show you the way of the woods. I usually am with Zeus or doing target practice. I'll let you settle in and get comfortable in the sanctuary before I show you the jungle." He smiled.

"The jungle? Sounds- exotic." She grinned, looking in the direction they were flying and then at the ground. "How long does the-wAy Of ThE WoOdS take to master?"
|
|  |

|
"Sometimes." He shrugged. "Uhhh depends on how dedicated you are to begining one with the woods. I wouldn't say I've mastered it yet, since I've yet to 'teach one.'" He looked at her again with a mysterious expression.

"Ah, mysterious." She stared up at him with a disbelieving gleam in her eye. "You gonna tell me what the whole way of the woods thing is or- no?"

"Its not exactly a verbally taught thing. Its mostly running around in the woods, being aware of stuff. Knowing how to take care of yourself." He tilted his head. "Its harder to walk quietly than you think."

She bit back a giggle. Oh, I know. Ive learned a few things in my line of work. "Hm. Im sure ill do just fine."

"We'll see soon enough." He smiled.

After a while, the town came into view, then they were upon it. "We're here." Zeus alighted with the ground in a not very busy stone 'street'. Ethan let her sit on Zeus as he slipped off, his arms out to catch her when she hopped off.

Apologies)) She turned and got ready to get down, shuffling unsteadily. She took a deep breath and got ready to hop down.
