Enter one Crazy Israeli with Control Issues...

Who: Ziva David & Whoever wants a possible heartastroke.
What: Ziva's training with her new Eaglider (AKA: Gibbs...or Jethro. Depends on if he's being a pain)
Where: Twilight Town...Starting at the top of the clock tower.
When: Afternoon.
Warnings: Ziva David. ~~And the possibility of freaking out any characters who don't understand she does some stupid things.~~

She stood looking at the Eagle...or Eaglider...that was taller than her as it stared right back, ignoring the bat flying circles around them. It seemed to be a contest of wills, before the spirit looked away and stared out over the train plaza.

"So, what do you think of the name Leroy?" A narrowed eye looking at her before looking back towards the sunset. "Okay...How about Gibbs." A head was tilted upside down to look at her, then straight, then a nod. "Agreement then?" Another nod before he extended his wings and squawked at her again. "Fine, go fly. But you know the deal." Gibbs took off, going high above the clock tower for a second before diving back down towards the ground. He did this a couple of times before landing on the rail where she was standing.

"What?" Gibbs reached over and grabbed at her braid with his beak, pulling on it. "You realize I cannot fly, right?" Letting go of her braid, he fixed her with what she considered a perfect spirit version of a 'Gibbs stare'. She looked right back at him, apparently taking too long as he took off again. "You are just as stubborn as your namesake, Gibbs!" She walked towards the stairs to head back to the ground before stopping and looking at the edge again.

"Then again, people say I am crazy..." She mumbled to herself before sprinting for the edge of the tower and jumping off. She heard Fluffy screech behind her, but ignored him, figuring Gibbs would show up...just like he did at home.

More than anything, Wash just wanted time to process. He was still thinking about the talking items - maybe a little too much. He'd already gone in circles trying to figure out what the voice was talking about, and it wasn't doing him any good. It probably wouldn't until they found the next piece.

He'd decided he could use a walk - a distraction would be good. He didn't particularly want to be a pony, so Twilight Town it was. The clock tower beat the tunnels, and if he was lucky he might find Ziva there.

Or maybe if he was incredibly unlucky. He looked up just in time to see her take a dive off the top of the clock tower-

How- why- but- he couldn't-

"Ziva!"

All Ziva heard was the rush of the wind before hearing her name being called as she fell towards the ground.

Oh...hell.

Opening her eyes, she saw Wash standing in the plaza below before she ended up with a face full of feathers, landing on Gibbs' back. He took off flying with her on his back, Ziva climbing a bit to get a grip on the area near his neck. He was looking back at her as he did the loop around this area of Twilight Town.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I am in trouble." She said, before giggling a bit as Gibbs squawked in agreement. It had been a good rush. She reached up and pulled her hair out of the braid for a second, determined to enjoy this before probably getting a slight chewing for jumping off the clock tower. She leaned to look down at Wash, waving at him when Gibbs came back around again.

"Afternoon Wash!"

For one very long moment, time stood still for Wash. His girlfriend had just jumped off a building, with no way to catch herself and nothing to break her fall. He didn't know how, or why, but that didn't change the fact that she was falling right in front of his eyes and he couldn't stop it.

It may have been his last moment to see her alive-

The Eaglider swooped in out of nowhere, and time sped up again. Wash sat down hard - not the greatest move, as there was nothing to sit on but the hard ground, but he wasn't worried about that. He was too busy trying to slow his heart rate down to something less than 'jackhammer.'

And then she fucking waved at him. Like it'd been nothing.

"Don't," he started, volume ramping up quickly and ending in something just short of a scream, "do that!"

"...Skinned alive in trouble..." She mumbled, hearing Gibbs make a snorting noise as he did one last circle before landing a bit away from where Wash was now sitting. Hopping off the back of the Eaglider, she walked over and offered her hands so he could stand up again, Gibbs just standing in the background and giving Wash The Stare.

"I was not expecting anyone to show up right then." The truth. "But I guess I probably should not do it again." But that wasn't a promise, and the eyeroll from the Eaglider was proof of that.

He'd already managed to stand, shaking with excess energy and barely suppressed emotion, by the time Ziva landed and made her way over to him. That half a second of sheer terror had keyed up his fight or flight response pretty badly, and now that that half-second of terror was over, all that adrenaline needed to get out somehow.

"No shit you shouldn't do it again!" He wasn't screaming anymore, but he was still way too loud for this to be anything close to a civil conversation. "What the fuck is your problem?"

This was going to be ugly.

Ziva's eyebrow rose as soon as Wash started shouting at her. It definitely wasn't a tone for civil conversation, and part of her knew what she had done hadn't been something worthy of one.

The other part didn't care.

"Excuse me?" She said, crossing her arms and looking at him. "First, to sound like your mother for a moment, you do not need to use that language with me. Second? Yes, it was foolish, maybe. But I knew that Gibbs was right there." She gestured at the Eaglider standing nearby, still watching the two of them. She then paused for a second, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Do you really think I would do something like that without knowing I was going to be just fine?" She felt Gibbs reach out with his beak and grab part of her shirt, pulling her back a few steps... Probably to keep her from doing something she would really regret. She already knew this probably wasn't going to turn out all that well.

He blew right past the mother comment - right now, he didn't really care about bullshit semantics. "Right," he snarled. "You jumped off a building with a day old Dream Eater as your only safety net! Because that's fucking smart! What if it'd gotten distracted, or attacked by Nightmares? What then?" She'd be very messily dead, and the part of him that refused to process that was only egging on the parts of him that had sent his temper up in smoke.

Melody positioned herself on one side of her person, meowing at Puddles to get ready. If this went south - more so than it already had - they were running intervention.

Gibbs gave a squawk that showed that he was probably insulted that Wash would think he would let her get even close to the ground. He fixed the other person with a glare that would possibly (but not really) intimidate his namesake.

"Do you not think that we cleared those out already? And you apparently have not noticed that Fluffy is right there, and he was keeping an eye on things!" She had complete faith that Gibbs wouldn't have been distracted, and Fluffy was doing his job, making sure that no nightmares were out and about after they took care of what were around.

Hearing his name, Fluffy flew down to perch on Gibbs head, the Eaglider not even flinching, nor taking his eyes off Wash. The way this was going, it wasn't going to continue with just yelling. He glanced down at Melody. He could grab her and take off, if needed.

"And look, I am in One Piece. Nothing happened, and nothing would have happened!"

Wash ignored the Eaglider for the moment. He had other priorities, and he was too damned upset to deviate now.

"Right, because Nightmares never respawn! And Fluffy can't catch you if something goes wrong!" You could have complete faith in someone and still have a contingency plan, and damn it, she just wasn't seeing that.

Melody wasn't too worried - not quite yet. Her person was shaken up and scared and angry because of it, but he would never hurt Gibbs' person. Melody wouldn't recommend taking off, but maybe Gibbs grabbing his person wasn't a bad idea, in case things got worse.

"You can't have known that!"

"I trust my Spirits to keep me safe!" She said, stepping forward to try to get in his space. "I know Fluffy cannot catch me, but he was being a lookout! He was there to warn us if more nightmares showed up!" She was getting really close to punching him in the stomach and storming off, but Gibbs reaching out (again) and grabbing her shirt to pull her backwards (again) stopped her from doing anything.

"Again, everything was fine! Wash, we are in a dream! If you die in a dream, you Wake. Up." She would probably regret those words later.

Wash stopped dead at those last words. They explained a lot, but...damn it. "You really believe that," he said flatly. "You really think that some dumbass superstition has anything to do with where we actually are?" His voice was rising again, and he let it. Maybe, if he got louder, she'd actually hear what he was saying. "You're not supposed to be able to feel pain in a dream either, but I'm pretty sure we've disproved that one! This isn't a normal dream, Ziva!" Yep, he was yelling now. Again. "Your old wives' tales don't apply!"

Ok, that was enough. Sorry Melody, but Gibbs and Fluffy weren't going to let him yell at their person like that. Gibbs let go of Ziva's shirt before hopping forward to stretch a wing between the two of them, cutting off any retort Ziva may have had to Wash.

Gibbs moved just enough to push Ziva back a few steps, before standing in between her and Wash. Wash could yell at him for a few minutes. Fluffy went airborne, squeaking a 'sorry!' to Melody before going to push Ziva backwards more. You need a time out! He squeaked, somewhat happy she couldn't understand spirit speak.

"What the--" Was just met with him tugging on her hair to get her to walk. No more talking, you'll mess it up...even more.

No, Melody was perfectly fine with this. Her person needed to calm down before he broke something, after all. Melody sat on one of his feet, and Puddles moved in front of him, refusing to let him by.

"What the-" What the hell were they up to? From what he could see around Puddles' neck, Ziva's Spirits were dragging her away too. Great. Just great. The last thing either of them needed was for her to take another dive. "Just- keep your feet on the ground!"

Hopefully she heard that. For now, he sighed heavily and let Puddles push him away.

Sora was mostly just wandering around and toying with the idea of heading over to Ponyville again. He was also thinking about the talking items, but it was already pretty obvious that they might have to find more items before they could actually get the message.

Deciding to have another go around in town before leaving, Sora headed toward the station plaza. His Spirits zipped ahead... well, Bruce zipped ahead. The still unnamed Escarglow followed at his own slow pace, though he picked it up a little bit when Bruce squeaked about something. Following the bat's gaze showed that there was someone up on the clock tower. Sora couldn't quite tell who it was from the ground, but he figured they could get that answer soon enough if they went up there. As he turned to head into the building, though, Bruce started shrieking in alarm, eyes still on the clock tower.

He had a good reason to be alarmed, considering the person on top of the tower had just jumped off. All Sora could do was stare. Did he know any spells that would safely slow their descent?

Ziva laughed for a moment, listening to the wind whistling by her ears as she fell. It was only a few seconds before she landed on Gibbs back as he went to circle the tower again, this time with his person in tow. He made a squawking noise before dipping to one side, causing her to look down towards the ground. There was someone standing there, staring up at her.

"Busted." She muttered, ignoring the eyeroll from her spirit. "Take us down?" The spirit obeyed, heading towards the ground and landing a bit away from Sora. She hopped down, and Gibbs stretched his wings before settling down.

"Hi Sora." She said with a wave.

Sora managed to realize that was Ziva before the Eaglider swooped in and caught her. So clearly she had jumped on purpose, apparently because she knew the Spirit would catch her.

He composed himself a little bit by the time they landed. Mostly. Honestly, if he'd known sooner that the Eaglider was there, he would have been less startled. Bruce was less forgiving and proceeded to flap around Ziva's head, squeaking in flustered and worried irritation. Don't do that! What about your Spirits?! And the other persons!

"Hey, Ziva. I... Oh, calm down, Bruce." He sighed and shook his head as the bat calmed down only the tiniest fraction, "Sorry about him. When he's not being a wise guy, he's worrying too much."

Ziva watched as Bruce circled around her head, sighing for a moment. She figured something like this would happen. Gibbs just watched as Bruce did so, and he probably would have been smirking if he hadn't been an eagle.

"It is ok. That would be a normal reaction to seeing someone jump off of a tall building, caught by a spirit or not." She looked at Sora again. "Sorry about that, by the way. I guess I got caught up in finding a thrill."

"It is kind of a crazy thing to do." Not that Sora had all that much room to talk, as he might very well have done that same thing had he a large flying Spirit. "Uh, don't worry about it. It was startling is all."

Although, as Bruce's behavior indicated, not everyone was going to be so forgiving. As a matter of fact, Sora's dismissal of the situation caused the bat to turn around and scold him. Are you crazy, Person?! Tell her she shouldn't do stuff like that!

"I am not arguing that it was crazy. But really, this is one of the few chances I will have to fly on the back of a giant eagle." She laughed just a bit, watching as Bruce turned on his person and berated him for a while.

"Bruce." She addressed the spirit herself. "I am just fine. And I do not plan on doing it again."

"I guess you don't have giant eagles back home, huh?" That was something to think about and made the crazy move a bit more understandable. Sora made a face at Bruce as the bat turned on him. Clearly, he was especially uppity today. "Oh come on. No one got hurt."

When Ziva addressed him and assured him she didn't plan to do that again, he settled down a little. He was still pouting a little, though.

"No, we do not." She said, reaching out to pat Gibbs on one of his wings. And part of her impulsive jump was due to that.

Noticing Bruce's pout, she dug in one of her pockets and pulled out a cookie. "A treat to seal the promise?"

In her time, Chell has jumped from some pretty unlikely perches--wariness over height had no place here. In fact, she was racing along the rooftops of Twilight town when she caught sight of the movement from the top corner of her vision.

She stopped to watch the woman go into freefall, less worried and more interested to see what the plan was here--there were simply too many factors around here for her to assume the worst. If it turned out Emile had been lending out her gun, though, there would be issues.

It wasn't too long before Ziva was caught by Gibbs, who had been coming around from behind the clock tower, expecting her to jump. She laughed as he gained a bit of altitude, before going to fly around the tower again. On the way back around, Ziva noticed Chell standing on the nearby rooftop.

"Over there." She said, nudging Gibbs to get his attention, getting him to fly closer to where Chell was. Getting closer, she waved. "Afternoon!...I think anyway."

It was a pretty ballsy stunt--the sort that relied on some serious trust between Ziva and her Spirit. Chell gave a tiny golf clap as Ziva approached.

Her Komory Bat, meanwhile, whipped up to the pair, squeaking excitement at Gibbs. Oh wow that was great your person was like up there and then you did the thing like woosh and that's amazing you're really big I wish I could be big and do the thing with my person too!

Ziva chuckled when she noticed the golf clap. Yeah, it was a bit ballsy, but it was kinda fun at the same time. Something she probably wouldn't do again for a while either.

Ziva hopped off Gibbs' back and watched as he landed near the edge of the building, watching the new bat squeak at him. He didn't say much back to the bat, just a few nods and affirmative sounding squeaks. Then, Fluffy showed up, this time doing circles around Chell. Hi new person! Who're you?

"Sorry about him. Just push him away if he gets too annoying."

If there was one good thing about her own bat that Chell could admit to, it had given her a lot of experience to block out pesky flying rodents. She let it flit about, until her spirit trilled excitement and rushed to Fluffy. This is my person! She's great! She jumps from things too we are like jumpy persony twins!

Chell looked up to the clocktower, judging the distance, and giving Ziva a once over. Judging by her physique, likely not a simple thrill seeker. Though Chell wouldn't call herself a competitive person, she did appreciate a good comparison.

Bouncing back on the balls of her feet, Chell pointed over the rooftops, to where the train station was just visible. She raised her eyebrows in quiet invitation to Ziva, before hopping off the rooftop to speed along a fencetop below. Her bat looked after her, chittering as it figured out what was happening and zipping after. Oh! Race time! Bye gotta race hurry!

It was a slow jog that brought Carolina in the direction of the clock tower today, sheep and cat spirits in tow. The latter was perched on the former's back, while the tama sheep looked most bemused - that seemed a common state for him, mind you, but Lela didn't slow him down by much.

Their Person wasn't running laps today, but her ground eating stride could be difficult to keep up with when her mind was set on something. The lack of Moogle presence in other sections of the town that morning was an annoyance, especially when Carolina had matters of business to attend to, but she hoped to find at least one at the the tram station beneath the clock tower.

She was almost to the sloping path that led up towards the station when Lela made a startled sound, and the aqua-armored freelancer turned sharply to look at her. Then upwards, following the frootz cat's line of sight to see what it was that held the pink cat's attention.

Apparently the somthing was a human form, taking a leap off the tower proper. "What the hell..!"

Edited (tweak tweak) 2013-12-22 19:48 (UTC)

Yes, Ziva had jumped off the tower to be caught by her Eaglider Gibbs, which Carolina may have been able to see from where she was standing. On one of the loops around the area, she noticed the other woman and called down, waving from the back of her spirit before heading back towards the tower. She would try to catch up with Carolina later.

What she hadn't expected was to run into Wash at the clock tower and get into a shouting match with him... I was just one of those days.

Was that what they called falling with style?

Either way, the Eaglider's appearance was unexpected and quite welcome; the identity of the jumper hadn't been immediately clear to the former freelancer, but when the giant bird circled the area a few times, it wasn't difficult to figure out. She crossed her arms and simply shook her head in reply to that wave, ignoring Lela's exciting bouncing atop Tobin.

She'd seen where the other woman had landed, but Carolina hadn't anticipated that there'd be more than just the other woman present when she got there. The fact words were being thrown back and forth at high volume was hard to miss as she made it up the hill, and as the identities of those involved in the argument became clear, Carolina came to a halt, hanging back to the shadows and herding her spirits to remain with her.

Well. Seemed like Wash was getting along swimmingly with everyone, lately.

Ziva had stormed off from her argument with Wash soon after Gibbs had put himself between the two of them. She really didn't have much more to contribute, and was probably going to dig a deeper hole. So, she left, letting Gibbs play a distraction so she could get a head start. Fluffy took off with her, following close by in case nightmares showed up.

When she was heading down the hill, she caught a figure in the shadows and turned. Noticing Carolina, her eyes widened, because she knew how loud they had been...she had probably heard most, if not all, of their argument. So for now, she just kept going, confusing Fluffy, who had slowed to say something to Lela and Tobin. He took off again, squeaking a Sorry! at the two spirits and their person.

Ziva continued until she reached the Tram Commons, only then did she slow down and rest a bit. If Wash had tried to follow, there were plenty of places for her to disappear into.

Carolina didn't follow. Not right away. Evidently, Ziva needed space, and if South's snarling temper and stalking away had taught her anything, everyone needed a little space to breathe. Instead, she stepped out of the shadows as her spirits called farewell to Fluffy, and resumed walking to the station.

She had moogles to find. And if she happened to pass Wash on her way into the building, she gave no sign as to whether or not she'd overheard that rather dramatic explosion. At least the argument had had a legitimate source of contention (compared to, say, causing a fruit feline to cry...).

There was more than one route to the tram commons, however. And more than one way to lure in a hawk.

Ziva had likely moved around the commons a few times before a MEW piped up from beneath her latest rest stop. Only once she was sure she had Ziva's attention did Lela wriggle out to say hello, her Person suspiciously absent.

Ziva had wandered along the tracks a few times before climbing up on one of the higher areas to sit. The tram went along below her, and she watched it go by for a second, then glanced back out to stare into the distance.

It was about then she heard a Mew coming from somewhere nearby. Fluffy most have heard it too, and he jumped down to land near her, trying to find the source of the sound. Gibbs stayed up where he was perched higher above Ziva, playing sentry in case there were Nightmares around.

"Lela? What are you doing here?" She then looked around. Normally Lela meant Carolina was around too.

There was a delighted mew when Fluffy set down at her level and Lela reached over with a cream paw to press a pad to his wings in greeting. HI. A second paw-pat for the bat followed, before Carolina's spirit loped over to Ziva, twirling around the woman's legs happily. Her Person wasn't good at letting herself like people, but she liked Ziva and that made Lela happy.

Speaking of whom..

The woman in question wasn't that far away, although Ziva would likely have to move location a bit to spot her - bearing a heavy roll of something that might have been fabric over one shoulder, the ex-Freelancer made her own way across the other side of the square. Tobin trotted at Carolina's heels, a cloth sack balanced on his back.

She certainly wasn't going out of her way to approach Ziva, and Lela seemed happy to bother her instead.

Ziva sat down, petting Lela on the head as she did so. She didn't see Carolina from where she was, but Gibbs did, and he tilted his head at the woman as she walked the square. He thought of getting his person's attention, but figured she wasn't a threat...and his person needed more time to cool down.

"Do I want to know how much you heard of that argument earlier?" She asked the cat spirit, scratching at her ears.

She'd hit the corner of one of the side streets, one that led to a dead end that was sometimes filled with smashable crates, before Carolina halted, and looked back over one shoulder. It was not clear if she knew that someone (or some spirit) was watching her; the eternal sunset gleamed ominously across her visor as she surveyed the area around her. Eventually, she seemed to have paused long enough and resumed shoving her shoulder against a stiff door, until she managed to nudge open access to...a warehouse? Hmm..

The only immediate answer was purring, cherry tail wiggling in place while attention was given to Lela's ears, before the frootz cat tilted her head up and rested her chin on Ziva's knee. She heard a lot but she didn't really understand. But the words were Angry, just like they had been between her Person and WashPerson, except worse somehow.

Gibbs watched as Carolina entered the warehouse, before making a note of the easiest way to get there, so he could drag Ziva over later. He was intrigued at what the armored woman was doing, even if he didn't know who she was yet.

Fluffy hopped over to sit on Ziva's knee, chirping at Lela. It was bad. Melody's person and his person got into a big fight over her flying with Gibbs...or maybe it was the clock tower part...he really didn't know. Ziva chuckled, knowing there was some sort of conversation going on at that point.

"Giving her the gossip there, Fluffy?" He just squeaked at her, Of course he was!

Oh. Well, that made things made more sense then! Even if Lela would no doubt forget the finer details later -- Dax was lazy but his long and short term memory worked far better than hers.

There was a mewf, before Lela licked Ziva's hand gently - it was not as rough a sensation like a regular cat's tongue might leave, and there was a definitely sweet scent left behind after. Poor ZivaPerson. WashPerson and my Person yelled when WashPerson made me sad. Her ears drooped. They still won't talk. Not talking is bad between friends.

Definitely. Fluffy said, glancing up at his person, who was now staring out over the commons, probably lost in her thoughts. Especially her and Melody's person. They seemed to be really good friends. I hope they start talking...without shouting...sometime soon.

There was a noise from where Gibbs was perched, and he jumped down to land near Ziva, pulling at her collar. He wanted to show her where the armored woman went. Get moving! Was the squawk under the collar pulling.

Persons are not always very smart, are they. There's a consoling paw-pat for Ziva, as Lela turns her head to look at Fluffy. Don't they know sugar and cake make everything better?

And the down comes Gibbs! There's a meow! of surprise, before the pink cat cranes her neck at him, fascinated. You're really big! Wow! ..Where are we going?

Because of course she's coming with you.

I don't think my person likes cake very much. Fluffy mused before Gibbs landed, then jumping up to fly to his head. The Eaglider just looked at Lela for a moment.

Another person. Was all he said, watching as Ziva stood up and brushed herself off before offering her open arms to Lela. "It may be safer if I keep a hold on you when we are flying." She wouldn't pick her up though. Not her spirit, and pissing off Carolina wasn't high on her To-Do list.

SCANDAL. N-not like cake?! Yellow eyes manage to look very large and wide indeed. Does she at least like icecream? Even Carolina likes a bit of icecream now and again.

Another person, huh. What colour are they? Because even in human form, and not just as ponies, the People in dreamtime were pretty distinguishable from one another. She slid aside when Ziva stood, and didn't even wait for Ziva to finish her sentance before leaping up into waiting arms. She *loved* cuddles, whatever they were for. I've never flown before, is it fun?

Sometimes. I think she likes other sweets. Fluffy shrugged from his current perch on Gibbs' head. Gibbs blinked at Lela for a moment before answering.

An off shade of blue. He said, as Ziva climbed on his back, still holding Lela. Flying is very fun. He waited until Ziva had a good grip on his neck before jumping off where they had been sitting. He did a few laps around the area before landing where he had seen Carolina go through the door.

Ziva climbed off his back and looked at him. "What did you see?"

Doesn't like cake. What is the dream coming to when that sentance can be uttered in all seriousness.

My Person! There's no denying the delighted meow that escapes Lela at Gibbs' confirmation, and she wriggled happily in Ziva's arms. She wasn't intentionally making holding her hard, but it was clear she was getting more and more excited as the laps in the air brought them closer to her new home.

She barely waited for Ziva to dismount before leaping from her arms and running to the now-closed door, scratching at it with her paws. It's too heavy to open. Make your Person help, please?

"Lela! Stop!" Ziva said, trying to tighten her grip on the spirit so she didn't have to run from Carolina for the rest of her life.

When they landed, Ziva smirked at Lela's reaction. "I have a feeling I know who is behind this door now." She pushed against the door, opening it enough for Lela to slip through before speaking up. "Carolina?"

There isn't even an apologetic mew for causing trouble with her wriggling, only very eager purrings as Ziva approached. The very second the door was opened wide enough for her to squeeze through, she disappeared immediately into the warehouse, and a startled bleat of Carolina's tamasheep echoed back.

"Ziva," replied the aforementioned Freelancer, busy detangling herself from her cat, who'd knocked the box she'd been holding right out of her arms. She hadn't even been gone ten minutes and that was the reaction. There followed a surprised 'mewf!' from the pink cat when she was promptly placed in the upended cardboard box, before the redhaired agent turned to her 'guest'.

The warehouse was still a bit dusty, but most of the crates had been removed now, and the heavy roll of fabric was propped to one side -- actually thick matting. It was amazing what the moogles could procure when they wanted. (And yet, oreos were still unavailable. Tsk.)

"How was the flight?"

Ziva pushed the door open after Carolina acknowledged she was there, letting Gibbs and Fluffy through before walking in after them. Fluffy immediately went over to where Lela was in her box, while Gibbs remained near the door, still looking around the room in case there was a threat.

"The flight was fine. The landing was bad though." She figured Carolina had heard the argument between her and Wash after she landed, so the veiled reference was all she was getting at the moment.

Edited (icon fail) 2013-12-29 18:04 (UTC)

The frootz cat rubbed her cheeks on the edges of the box, confusion having given way to contentment. Cats and boxes, the perfect combination. Fluffy was more than welcome to join her! Tobin merely snorted from where he had curled up in a wooly cloud, before he eyed the Eaglider warily. The bird was HUGE and blocking the door. That didn't seem sensible to him.

"Have to watch out for those - your own, and other people's." At least there had been a river to cushion York's crash. The redhead resumed moving across the empty space, lightly knocking the punchbag suspended on the other side with her elbow. "How long's that thundercloud likely to last?"

Fluffy perched on the edge of the box, looking at it while Lela played. Looked like a fun toy, even for a bat! Gibbs just eyed Tobin, turning his head upside down for a moment, as a bird does.

"Ah, the landing was fine. The welcoming committee was the problem." She rubbed at her forehead for a moment. "That storm might last for a while." She glanced around the room for a second, taking in everything that Carolina seemed to be doing with it.

"Nice place."

"That doesn't surprise me." There's a lack of sympathy in her tone of voice - for the landing crew, anyway. For someone who'd jumped off 100 story buildings, Wash was whistling like a kettle, as far as the redhead was concerned.

...Had Wash mentioned to Ziva his falling out (again) with Carolina? Perhaps he had, perhaps he hadn't, but either way: "You're welcome to stick it out here until it blows over."

There followed a soft huff of what might have been a laugh. "Not yet, no. But it will be. Actual residence is upstairs."
