Nessiah tucked and angled his wings, keeping his limbs close in to his body; it was best not to stretch out unless you were in full dive, and better to just let your wings carry you. He flapped them once or twice, reveling in the powerful motion, to change direction or gain height, but mostly coasted on the thermals, flying out over the castle and the city into the fields beyond.

And it was there that he noticed Gulcasa and his dragon heading for the castle below, and banked hard towards them with a call before he could think better of it.

Gulcasa looked up, puzzled, at the sound of his voice; when he spotted Nessiah his expression changed from a look of confusion to one of wonderment.

Only once he was well into the drop and couldn’t change his course did Nessiah realize that his aim was off, and he would wind up crashing into Gulcasa instead of landing in front of him. But as he braced himself for impact, Gulcasa held both arms out and scooped his friend out of the sky, holding Nessiah close against his chest.

“Hello there,” Gulcasa said with a smile and an upraised eyebrow. Nessiah blushed.

“Sorry,” he managed breathlessly. “I—guess I got caught up.”

Another sketch from Dum Spiro Spero--chapter 10 this time, where Nessiah sees Gulcasa in the field beneath where he's flying and nearly lands on top of him. XD THE SHIPPY IS SO CUTE~. X3
