oversized shoes and long luxurious locks

[thesundrop]

After the Dawning event, Rapunzel had received some advice on where to purchase shoes. So now the previously barefoot woman is proudly wearing a pair of men's shoes, that are two sizes too big for her. She sits on the edge of a fountain in the Nexus, admiring a lily that had floated by.

The long, long, long cascading length of her hair is wrapped around the base of the fountain a few times.

"Did you know that some flowers have meaning to them?" She excitedly asks someone who was walking by. "I just learned that the Oenothera means wine seeker. Which is funny... because I don't even know what wine is..."

"Should I be seeking some wine?" She asks again, just as excited.

"There are so many things I have never tried before... if you had to experience something for the first time, all over again... what would it be?"

A few minutes ago, a small silver jet that has been seen flying above the Plaza quite a bit recently landed on top of a building and transformed into a young, feminine robot. This jet always comes in from the general direction of the Decepticon Embassy, and while she's alone today, she's often accompanied by a purple-skinned humanoid child or a bright green miniature version of Lady Ravage.

She's only about twice as tall as a human, because she's not an adult yet. And she doesn't have a purple badge welded to her armour plate; she only has a necklace with a purple crystal heart on it, when she's a girl. When she's a jet, the big stone dangles inside of her smoky glassteel cockpit.

Silverwing has been watching this strange organic female for a little while. She has always thought 'hair' is kind of pretty, although it would be inconvenient to have in the air. But there's so much of this pale golden hair! How does this person not get caught in everything?

"Flying," she says, without hesitation, after the question is asked. "I love flying, it's the most fun, best thing in the world! I'm Silverwing."

Rapunzel stares at the young robot for a moment. Trying to make sense of what she is seeing. So far most of the people she has interacted with were humanoid. And never in her life has she seen someone like Silverwing.

"I watched birds fly. The little ones... when they learn... it is amazing how quickly they pick it up. And take to the air."

"My parents used to toss me up in the air and catch me," Silverwing says, grinning. "I still remember the first time I used my wings--I felt the air under them and moved them and I almost didn't fall at all. It was so exciting! After that I had to practise all the time so I could stay up for longer and longer."

She giggles a little. "And then they put a harness on me, so they could hold onto me if I started to fall, and started taking me with them when they flew. It's really the best thing. The air on your face and under your wings, and you can see so many cool things from up there! It's a lot like being a bird, although Seekers aren't beastformers."

She flushes, a little bit pink. "I'm Silverwing," she repeats. "What are you called?"

[thesundrop]

"Sounds lovely." Her Mother never interacted much with Rapunzel. And she never knew a Father. So there is nothing she can relate to here.

"My name is Rapunzel."

[silverseeker]

"Nice to meet you! What would you learn all over again if you could?"

[thesundrop]

"Um... artwork. Drawing and painting pictures kept me company for a long time. And I would gladly learn it all over again."

[silverseeker]

"That sounds like fun! Viri and I like tp paint sometimes. I don't think we're very good at it though." Silverwing worries her lip. "Lady Ravage says it's okay to be bad at things if you still like doing them. You think that's true?"

[thesundrop]

"I would not see why it is not true. Not everyone can be good at everything, after all."

[silverseeker]

"Plus you don't ever get good at stuff if you don't keep trying!" Silverwing grinned.
