Casual Coincidence

[Slueshy]

Kayla was flapping her wings in a somewhat jovial mood.  Having hitched a ride on a ship heading to Cinna Island, she had expected to depart on the island, but as the ship was passing by a small island on the way to it, she decided to hop ship and check it out.  Given her guise as a small insect, no one really paid any mind as she flew away from it and towards the island.  Though it wasn't much of an island to be honest, probably just a large sandbar with some greenery.  Though it would make a nice little getaway for a bit, where she could hang out and be herself.  It was a hassle to stay cooped up on a ship as a moth the entire time.  Only shifting into a more humanoid form to sneak some food on occasion.  

As she approached the island, the small moth in the air slowly shifted into a larger form, where the wings flapped more slowly and she transitioned to gliding down onto it.  Though as she landed, her form didn't slip back to a humans, no, it stayed somewhere in between.  A somewhat elegant dress covered her body, her four arms stretching out as her translucent brown hair was caught in a slight breeze, her antennae, caught in the same breeze twitched just a little.  Sand slipped between her feet and her sandals as her wings folded gently behind her.  Her segmented eyes taking in the area.  

"Aaahh.."  

A sigh escaped her lips as she began to walk along the sands.  This was wonderful.  Tiny little spots of land like this were perfect for her to just take a break on.  She'd checked the ships map earlier, and it seemed that this was just a little beach with a streak of forest no one seemed to care about, as such it was like her own little private island for a time.  She'd take said time and enjoy herself before fluttering her way over to the main island.  Of course if something bothered her she could leave at any moment, but with the nice weather, and no company but the plants, and maybe a few animals, she'd be happy to laze about here for quite some time, soaking in the sun, enjoying the sound of the waves she couldn't swim in because she was a fruit girl.  That was probably the only sore spot for her about this, that she really did miss swimming, though flying kind of made up for it in a big way.  

That was how her day was going as she slowly meandered her way across the beach, she did move more towards the tree line, she didn't want any nearby ships to show up and possibly see her, having someone come out here and bother her like that would just be a drag.  Not to mention she'd probably end up having to answer a few questions she didn't want to.  For now, this little island was hers, and she was going to enjoy it.

It hadn’t been long since Shinsei awoke on the island. He had his angry outburst upon finding himself stranded on the sandy beach in nothing but his shorts and at the mercy of the sun’s rays beating down on his synthetic skin and vented out all his frustration verbally and physically, kicking sand into the air and throwing rocks into the sea. Thankfully, his body was quite heat resistance so being exposed to the elements was not such a huge problem, though he didn't particularly like having his wounds exposed. Several bruises and cuts, the deeper ones of which were stitched up, were all over his body which was still working to repair itself. Despite her betrayal, Agnes had the decency of tending to his wounds before abandoning him, stranded on a foreign island in the middle of nowhere. He was also left a pack of cigarettes, one of which he was already burning through his third.

While he was still furious, he didn’t have the energy to continue his tantrum, so he currently just lay flat on his back, arms sprawled out and cigarette in his mouth while enjoying the bit of shelter he could get underneath some large trees that were up on the sandy hill that made this beach.

“Filthy rotten animals… savages, the whole lot of them.” He continued to grumble quietly, his eyes closed but his ears peeled in case any wild creatures appeared.

Unfortunately, he didn’t quite remember the details on what happened, as the last thing he remembered was succeeding at their mission - they had retrieved the kidnapped fiancée of Mr Lockhart after unintentionally setting the hut she was in on fire, and received the money for her safe return to Mr Lockhart. Of course, the money was from Mr Lockhart himself, since they had decided to take her ransom and keep the money themselves... After that, everything was blank, apart from a few flashes of images and snippets from conversations. There was Agnes… there was Martin… And then there was no one, and he was here, everything taken from him including the majority of his clothes and all his money that was rightfully his, earned from that  job with the most unpleasant individual he ever had the misfortune of meeting!

As he reached up to take the cigarette out of his mouth and blow a big cloud of smoke into the air that traveled with the gentle breeze, he hissed another string of slurs directed at the M.A.R.I. crew, which he knew Eric was a part of, silently swearing he will get revenge, somehow.

What he didn’t know he was left with, however, was a lipstick stain on his forehead, the perfect mark of a sweet kiss from someone, presumably Agnes.

Kayla was mostly just, chilling.  Walking along, enjoying herself.  It was a nice day after all.  Her eyes often drifted between the surf and the sky, which is when she saw something peculiar.  Smoke.  Smoke?  Here?  Two main thoughts went through her mind.  Either there was some kind of volcanic activity here, which she doubted because that almost certainly would have been noted on that map, or, something was making that smoke.  Most likely a person, which elicited a far less relaxed sigh from her.  Of course someone else was here, it couldn't just be her.  Honestly she was tempted to fly off then and there, not even deal with whomever, or whatever it was.  Though that was it, she didn't know if it was a person exactly, so why not check it out?  She had the perfect disguise after all.  

Taking a running jump, her body shifted once more, shrinking down considerably until she was the size of a moth.  Her pale green wings catching the sunlight that shone down upon her, leaving small green spots moving along the sand as she fluttered overhead.  Sure, moths were typically more nocturnal, but not many people were that knowledgeable to care, especially since her wings gave off such a butterfly vibe, being a Luna Moth did make her look quite pretty, for a moth anyway.  From there she slowly made her way towards where she'd seen the smoke, which took a fair amount of time actually, moths were not known to be exceedingly fast after all, and she wasn't in a hurry either.  

But her hopes of finding some strange phenomenon, or you know, just not a person, were dashed expertly when she quite clearly saw a person laying on the beach.  Though her curiosity was not sated, who was this person lying on the beach?  Deciding she had little to lose, she fluttered her way over towards what she soon began to realize was a man.  Of course she kept herself high up in the air, she was curious, but not stupid, no reason to be reckless after all.  Maybe this guy could be an interesting person to converse with, on the flipside he could just be some jerk that got dumped here to die.   

[Bobbie]

For a moment, Shinsei just stared at the clear skies overhead, thinking about he came to be in this predicament. A better use of his time would probably be to explore the land and try to find a way off it, but he was still recharging and fueling up. Taking another puff, a little fluttering moth soon came into his vision.

A moth…? His gaze fell onto the winged creature, his frown unmoved as he silently thought to himself. What the heck is a moth doing on a beach? With a strained groan, he forced his body upright to be seated, his legs folding at the knees for his elbows to rest on them while his bare feet were half buried in the sand in an instant. Another puff from his cigarette followed, but having heard about smoke deterring certain insects, he decided to blow it away from the moth. “How did you get here? Some nasty greedy wolves leave you here too?” he asked, though he didn’t expect any answer, of course… he was talking to a moth, after all, though that was the first sign of life he'd come across. “Are you here to tell me this is where I die?”

At that thought, he chuckled as he found it amusing. “Beach isn’t the worst place, I guess… could do with a few more attractive women though. Too bad there’s nobody in this forsaken place those jerks decided to leave me.” Just like that, his tone shifted from playful to angry once again and he looked away, expecting the moth to simply be on its way to go and do moth things.

With a heavy sigh, he picked up the packet of cigarettes from the sand beside him and rose to his feet as he began to stretch, his body sore. It was clear that he had taken quite a beating as he moved stiffly and winced with the movement of his left arm.

As he looked around, he wondered if there were any other people on the island, but it did look quite deserted. Now that he was back on his feet, he had to consider his options - "This is all a joke... it has to be a joke..." he whispered to himself, shaking his head. Surely they would come back for him...  they wouldn't leave him here to die.

Well, he wasn't brain dead, that was a start.  Though his projections were certainly apt, thinking a moth had somehow been abandoned anywhere was a bit puzzling.  The further comments were also a bit puzzling.  Die?  Could this guy not survive on an island for awhile?  Though she often forgot things with her own warped perception, given how often she tended to stick to being hidden from anything and everything, she made a habit of surviving with very little fairly often.  This guy didn't seem all that bad to her, at the very least he didn't seem outright despicable.  Maybe she could have a chat with him?  

His comment on there needing to be more attractive women annoyed her though.  She was plenty pretty!  Which is when she recalled that she was currently a moth, and not actually a women to this guy.  Watching him move, now that she was much closer, it was obvious to her that he was in some kind of pain, or had been hurt in some way, but she couldn't help him much there, she could however, give him some company.  So, in a few quick moments she was transforming once more, shifting from being a moth to her half human, half moth, form.  Which of course meant that she looked like a small child, though with young adult features, wrapped up with her usual moth visuals.  Ultimately she wasn't even half his height in this form.  Just a bit under three feet tall.  

"Hi!  I didn't really think anyone would be on this island when I came to it, but you don't seem like too bad of a person."

Of course she expected to end up startling him or something either by her sudden appearance, or with her actual appearance, people usually got stuck with the eyes, them being somewhat segmented like an insects in this form was usually the most disturbing thing.  Kayla figured he wouldn't be in any state to react too violently though, and if he was, well, she had wings after all.  Escape was just a hop, skip, and a jump away.  Hopefully it wouldn't come to that though, she hadn't actually spoken to another person in ages, what with being a moth most of the time and all, not many opportunities to make friends when your laying low.  

[Bobbie]

Shinsei hadn’t been paying much attention to the moth as he scanned the landscape, a bit of greenery offering some shelter, but the sea was clear through the foliage and tree trunks on the other side, so the island he was on must not have been extremely large.

Hearing a voice seem to suddenly come out of nowhere, he swiftly spun around and took a step back, but for a moment the man looked confused as he couldn’t see anyone at eye level. Then he spotted movement in the corner of his eye, a little green flash that prompted him to look down. That was where he spotted Kayla, half moth, half woman, and very, very small. He stared at her incredulously and offered no response to her comment as he simply blinked, then he narrowed his eyes. It was as if his words had summoned a beauty on the beach.

“Okay, I take that back! One fine young lady right here!”  Finally, he crouched down in the sand and leaned closer to her, dumbfounded. “I must be suffering from heatstroke…” he muttered, as he began to eye her down, but he knew that wasn’t possible. His body was particularly heat resistant, he would be able to tolerate a significantly greater amount of heat than the average person before anything like that happened.

He looked around him once more, then back at the small winged girl. While her features were clearly those of a young adult, her body seemed very child-like, perhaps due to her size alone, or nature… she reminded him of young Shoten…

As he recovered from the shock at last, he let out a sigh and then a laugh. “It’s a weird world… I don’t consider myself to be a bad person, but you can be the judge of that.” With a snicker, he offered a wink, awfully confident considering his lack of proper clothing, his physical condition, as well as the current predicament he was in. Yet, suddenly, it all didn’t seem all that terrible anymore, as, once again, Shinsei remained true to his son's motto of living life with a grin and a sea of humour to wade through. That said, it was still stressful enough to prompt him to place his cigarette back into his mouth, only to find that it was entirely burnt out.

With a grunt, he took it out and stubbed it on the packet before stuffing it inside so as not to litter a tremendously well-kept beach, then he lit another one, using his ring to ignite the tip as he mumbled his calculation - that was four out of twenty...

"I assure you, I'm quite real."

Was what Kayla said to him as she heard him muttering about heatstroke.  She didn't even think it was that hot, though she had no idea how long he'd been laying under the sun, after all she basically just got here, and he could have been here for days at this point.  Though he didn't seem to be suffering from starvation or dehydration yet, so she doubted he'd been here too long.  

"Typically the people who do think they are bad aren't quite as bad as they think, and the people who think they aren't bad are.  Odd how that works out sometimes, of course it's also not always true either way."  

She pondered aloud further as she watched him pull out a cigarette and seemingly light it with his finger?  Interesting.  Her parents had both been smokers her entire life, so she was definitely used to the smell of it and had been used to being around it.  Had being the definitive word here, having eaten a devil fruit that gives her an insect form, she had more difficulty being around smoke of any kind.  Of course it didn't help that she often chose to stay in hybrid form, if she returned to a full human it would be that bad.  So as he lit up she did distance herself slightly as her antennae shuddered, and if any smoke drifted her way, a suddenly shifting of one or both of her wings would chase the offending smoke away from her person.  

Her wings were actually the most prominent part of her person, much like as she had been as a moth, they were quite large, in fact they reached above her head and even trailed on the ground a little as they ended in what looked like superfluous ribbons.  

"Apologies, I don't actually mind smokers but its not something I enjoy inhaling myself, especially these days."  

The two fluffy antennae on the top of her head wiggled a little to emphasize her situation being part bug and all, she didn't want him thinking she thought he was awful just because he smoked.  

[Bobbie]

Shinsei couldn’t help but let out a laugh as she explained her rationale about people who believed themselves to be bad people and vice versa. “Okay, not looking very good for me already!” he shook his head, but frowned slightly as he noticed the puzzled look on her face.

He only noticed what it was that was confusing her when he saw her gaze on his fingers. Extending his hand to her, palm up, he flicked his nail across a black ring that was on his ring finger, which had something like a ravine along its centre. With the friction of his nail against the ring, a little spark would appear, which ignited the liquid nicotine that ran in the middle of the iron ring for a brief moment, but quickly went out again without enough fuel to sustain the flame.

The cyborg’s gaze remained fixed on the woman as he withdrew his hand and continued to smoke, though it drifted away from her face and danced along her body. Scanning her figure, he was quite intrigued by her, having never met anyone who was partly human and partly… insect. Her wings were very attractive, though he wondered if they were heavy for her little frame, considering they made up more than her entire body height. Then there were those antennae… A subtle frown formed on his face as his thoughts went back to his own ‘creator’, if he could call him that. Was she created by someone in similar fashion?

Her comment about inhaling his cigarette smoke snapped him off the path his wandering mind was taking him down and he turned away from her as he took a puff and blew the smoke away. “Oh, sorry. Yeah, I get it - just because I need this crap, doesn’t mean you do.” He moved a bit to try and make sure the wind wouldn’t carry the smoke in her direction.

“I wasn’t always a smoker, let alone such a heavy one.” With a light shrug, he looked down at his fuel source and spoke in a bitter tone. “Could say I woke up one day and found it simply became a necessity.”

With a sigh, he gestured toward her, wishing to change the subject. “What brings you here, anyway? You said you weren’t expecting to find anyone, so what is this, a secret resort to get away from everyone?” he joked, though he could honestly understand if that were the truth. Especially after his most recent experience that involved other people that landed him here.

[Slueshy]

Watched with a rapt attention as he showed off how he did that with his finger.  It was quite bizarre, the first thought to run through her head was that it was something to do with a devil fruit, but that didn't seem right.  Though it would explain why he would be stuck here, surrounded by water and without a means to travel by air like she had.  

"It's not a big deal.  I should probably try and get used to it, I can't imagine I'll run into many people who'll give me this curtesy in the future." 

Kayla mentioned as she listened to him.  

"I mean, I don't really think there's much wrong with it, everyone has their vices after all.  Not like alcohol is any better and loads of people drink that."  

Adding her thoughts to her observations. Though it was pretty easy to gauge that smoking wasn't exactly a 'fun' habit for him.  Which is also something she'd observed with some alcoholics, how they seemed to be aware that their drinking wasn't any good for them, but did it anyway.  Odd.  She put those thoughts away though, she was hardly the sort to make much of that, or anything really.

"Oh, well, my name is Kayla Yawz, and sort of?"  She answered relatively quickly, not bothering to think much about what she was saying.  "I was on a nearby ship, it was heading to the main island when I noticed this little spot and figured it would be a nice place to unwind for a bit.  I don't think I have to tell you that I can attract a fair amount of unwanted attention like I am."

She accented her last remark with a slight hop and a twirl in mid-air, landing quickly with a flourish of her wings.  Of course she could always turn back into a full human, but she was far more used to her hybrid form now.  It was the form she fought it, it gave her the most maneuverability, the most protection, and to top it off, she'd grown quite accustomed to perceiving the world with these new senses.  

"So I flew on over.  I planned on staying for a little bit before heading to the island.  Though I have to assume your situation isn't as enjoyable?"  

She guessed, though having heard him speaking earlier, she already had a good idea as to 'why' he was here.

[Bobbie]

“Most likely not…” Shinsei agreed with a little nod. While he generally tried to maintain the common courtesy of blowing his smoke away from other people, he knew that it wasn’t necessarily a practice that everyone engaged in. Then again, perhaps his view at the moment was tainted by his most recent negative interaction with other people... surely they weren’t all terrible, he knew that for a fact from previous experiences and this moth lady herself seemed to be proof as well.

In response to her comment about drinking, Shinsei offered a little hum, his attention divided between her and his addiction. It wasn't something he could relate to as his addiction started out of nothing, but she had a point to say that others were more commonly overlooked.

The red-head watched her as she explained her situation, nodding in understanding as she twirled around in mid-air and flourished her wings. They truly were something to gawk at; it was good that they were a good tool for escape as well, as he could imagine that a number of people might chase her down for her beauty and uniqueness.

“Cool, nice to meet you, Kayla. I’m Shinsei Zen Shisui… so this island, are you planning to fly there? It looks pretty far - definitely too far to swim.” he muttered with a subtle hint of hope in his tone, then he laughed as she put forward a question of her own. “Enjoyable? No, no, it’s certainly not that.” Taking his final puff, he finished off the cigarette and followed the same pattern as earlier, stubbing what was left of it out on the packet and fitting the butt inside. “I was with a pretty big crew, nice ship and everything… had a fairly simple job that my insufferable companion made very difficult, and I gave it my all.” Shinsei paused to gesture toward the many bruises scattered on his body, including what would look like a mended bullet wound in his palm. “You know how it goes - first they use you, then they sucker punch you, take everything from you including the clothes off your back, and leave you stranded on a beach in the middle of nowhere.”

Although the anger was present in his eyes, meeting Kayla made this ordeal a little bit better, and his lips soon curled into a playful smirk. He ran a hand through his fiery red hair, standing in a confident flattering pose, before exclaiming in a sarcastic tone, “But how can I complain? Just look at me! Sand between my toes, sea-breeze in my hair, I’m king of the island!”

"I was eventually, it's not all that far for me.  Once I get up into the air it becomes a lot of gliding and riding the air appropriately.  Especially too far to swim given I drown if I go in the water."  

Kayla told him while then listening to his explanation in turn.  It really did seem like he'd been given a bit of a bad hand, though she couldn't quite understand the feeling, she hadn't had many friends before and mostly traveled by herself!  Aside from how she acquired her devil fruit in the first place, but ultimately she was rather okay with that situation, it certainly turned out well for her, even if she hadn't known what she was getting into.  

"Well, you don't really have to put on a show for me you know?  I understand that this is probably a big deal for you, since you can't really leave of your own accord.  You are stranded here after all, it's not a fate I would wish on anyone really."  

She mentioned, it was likely he'd be able to get food of some sort, either with rudimentary fishing or possibly foraging the meager amount of foodstuffs from the plant life here.  The bigger concern would be the lack of fresh water.  A tiny sandbar like this would have no access to it, not to mention the way his body was battered and bruised suggested he probably needed medical attention of some kind.  Probably not immediately, she wasn't a doctor after all, but his body certainly looked like it could do with some care. 

"If you want I could try and help you get off of here?  I don't really know exactly what I could do, but, I wouldn't really feel right just leaving you here you know?"  

[Bobbie]

As Kayla explained her situation with regard to swimming, Shinsei raised both eyebrows in surprise - of course, it made sense. “You’re a devil fruit user?” he asked, in hindsight thinking it was rather obvious, but then again, his own body had been altered too and he was no devil fruit user, so it would be best not to assume such things. One thing that he knew for certain was that many devil fruit users held some bounty on their heads or another… this girl did not seem like somebody who would though, he couldn’t imagine what she could have done to earn herself a bounty.

At her offer for him to be genuine and not put on a show, the red-head’s features softened and he chuckled. It was a kind offer, but his lightheartedness was more of a lifestyle and less of a show. One that he had chosen for himself not for the good of anyone in his company, but rather for the memory of his late son, a true lover of comedy and tomfoolery.

“You’re right, it is… but I think I’ve kicked enough sand before you got here, so I'm all set.” A little smile on his face, he gestured to a patch of sand closer to the waves that had clearly faced some heavy form of abuse, holes burrowed into it in some areas, while others had piles of sand in clumps, and all over the area were several footprints and drag marks of the man’s heels that scattered dry and wet sand alike. Had there been any children around, one might assume it to be a sand castle graveyard.

Soon, a second offer came from the sweet little moth-girl, one to help him off this island. That was one that he really did not want to refuse, but he hesitated. What if they came back for him? It was true that he and Eric did not get along, but he wouldn’t go as far as actually leaving him here indefinitely to starve to death and dehydrate under the sun, would he? Perhaps Martin would be alright with that - Adam too… but if nobody else did, Agnes would urge them to come back for him.

With uncertainty written all over his face, he sighed, “I’m sure this is all meant to be a stupid joke, I only just woke up here earlier today. They will probably come back for me once they realise that I can’t actually survive here forever with no food or water.”

Just the thought of that wolf pack brought knots to Shinsei’s stomach and he was already craving another cigarette, but knew he needed to preserve them in case he was stuck here for longer than anticipated.

“They’ll come back for me,” he uttered with a sliver of hope in his tone. They’d better come back…

[Slueshy]

Kayla merely nodded at his statement, wasn't it obvious?  She didn't think anyone would assume her to 'not' be a fruit user.  How else would one come to be like this after all?  Directing her attention at the misplaced piles of sand, she quickly understood that he had been here long enough to do that at least.  He certainly didn't seem happy with the situation though, even if he did seem to be quite cheery about it all.  If it were here stuck with no means of escape she'd be absolutely mopey about it.  

"Oh.  Okay."  

Kayla replied, with a definite amount of uncertainty in her voice.  She couldn't be sure of this guy's friends, or, whomever they were to him.  The way he had spoken before made it seem like they weren't his friends at all, and that they wouldn't be coming back for him, if it were some kind of joke, then he shouldn't care about any of this situation right?  The way he looked as he said it also didn't give her much confidence in his answer.  Was he lying to her about something?  Her first thought was to be guarded, she didn't want to think about his 'friends' suddenly showing up and seeing her here.  They didn't seem like the sort she'd enjoy meeting with anyway.  

"Well, I won't bother you too long then.  Once I see another ship I'll probably fly over to it and hitch a ride on it so I don't have to fly all the way over."  

Kayla told him as she contemplated just making the entire flight on her own anyway.  Something about the way he was suddenly acting had her quite suspicious of his motives.  She didn't really show it all that much, her expression was almost always quite neutral, which her insect like parts helped with, having segmented eyes made them less focused on any one thing as they were capable of seeing in a wider view, her face was also a bit more stiff as well.

[Bobbie]

The uncertainty in her voice made Shinsei uneasy, as it indicated that his own suspicions of his situation being a lot more serious than he’d like to think it to be were, perhaps, well-grounded. It seemed to him that she was also sceptical, but Shinsei felt compelled to give the pack the benefit of the doubt and believe that their real intention was not to get rid of him permanently but on a more temporary basis while they travelled and took care of some other business before returning for him.

If he didn’t hold on to that belief, then he would be forced to assume the worst, which was something that he was trying to work on as well as controlling his temper. Yet, whatever the reality was, he had to be prepared for a longer stay on this sandbar, just in case.

“Actually…” he turned to look toward the trees, tilting his head to look upright into the leaves as he squinted and brought a hand up to his forehead to shield his eyes from the sun. “Would you be up for a little exploration-fruit-treasure-hunt type of adventure while you wait for a ship to sail by?” he asked, turning back to her with a chuckle. It should be very easy for her to pick fruit from the tops of those trees, he was mainly hoping for coconuts that would offer both food and water... if they stuck to the other edge of the treeline, they shouldn't need to worry about any dangerous animals - if there were any on the island - either, and it would also allow her to keep a view of the ocean in case a ship did happen to pass. She did offer her help with getting off the island just moments ago, after all, perhaps that offer extended to helping him survive.

“Sadly, I don’t really have much to offer you in return unless you consider a percentage of our profits and my invaluable company as worthy payment?”

[Slueshy]

"Mm..  Sure, that sounds fine.  I enjoy food after all, and I'm not in a huge hurry anyway."

Kayla told him, in fact that's probably what she would be doing already if she hadn't run into him in the first place.  Small spots like this were often laden with fruits that she could easily forage.  Of course there was always the possibility of running into animals, which she tended to avoid, not because she didn't enjoy meat, but she was a pretty lousy cook, and certainly couldn't do anything without a kitchen around her.  Well, anything other than under or over cook something.  

"I mean if the percentage is fifty that's good enough for me.  Though I probably won't take any of it with me when I leave so, fifty percent until I'm gone.  Your company isn't something we can factor into the dealings though, unless you want to factor in mine as well, and I think I might tip the scales further past fifty if we did~"  

She said with a somewhat bratty tone of voice in the end, obviously being a bit more playful at the moment since she figured she could get away with it.  With that said she immediately hopped off her feet, her large wings held her aloft in the air, even if it was only a few feet above the ground.  Kayla definitely had a preference for flying whenever she could, she found it to be significantly better than walking, not to mention being airborne offered her more mobility at a sudden moment.  Of course she didn't just 'hover' in midair, she sort of fluttered back and forth, like an actual moth would, it probably looked incredibly odd to see such behavior from someone as big as her, tiny twitches of movement in midair were much more noticeable at this size.  

"So I suppose we'll start by the tree line right?"  

She asked, assuming he hadn't explored any further into the small patch of island, though there likely wasn't much of an 'inside' to explore.
