It worked! Or at least, Marnie thought it had? Marnie's smile became more genuine afterwards. She shuffled to the side, letting Raice take the lead on Trixie, murmuring polite apologies to the bird. Morpeko, her cheeks stained with berry juice and cracker dust, hopped on board behind Raice, in front of Marnie.

"Yeh. Nice to meetcha too, Raice!" She said, awkwardly holding his shoulders to steady herself and Morpeko. "Warn me when we go, Aight?"

*Raice blushed and nodded, patting Trixie's back in order to tell her something, they had practiced this for a while. It was to make sure trixie knew to count down until flying. He wasn't expecting her to hold onto his shoulders but he also didn't expect anyone to be riding with him, so he didn't pack something for them to hold onto. Oh well, he needs to think of that next time. Raice silently counted down, until 5* "Alright m-Marnie, we'll be going in a sec" *Shortly after Raice finished his sentence, Trixie gave a caw as to give a second warning before taking off into the sky*

Marnie waited a moment, gathering her breath and tightening her grip. She'd written backside before, but last time was when she was pretty little. Usually, she should rely on a cab instead. It probably wouldn't be that much different, right?

"Aight!" She said in a pitch that betrayed she might be a bit more anxious than she had admitted to herself yet before suddenly her sense of gravity shifted underneath her! "Wa—!!" Her fingers dug into Raice's shoulders.
Margaret
*Raice winced a little but he held onto trixie so he didn't fall off. He looked behind him at Marnie, patting trixie as to tell her to fly slower* "H-hey you ok?" *He had to admit he was worried about her, even if he didn't know too much about her. He hated seeing people scared, even though he was often scared himself.*

"Ahm fine!" She insisted, opening her eyes a little against the headwind. "Just a lil started is all," She added as their flight was stabilizing. She finally had time to look around her, gazing at the island strewn underneath them. "I always liked flyin'" She said, before glancing above herself and seeing only blue. She immediately settled her gaze back in Raice's back as she felt vertigo setting in looking at so much blue.

"Though ahm not used to seein' it without a frame...!!"
Margaret
"If you insist, b-but if you need something let me know, I p-probably have pills for it" *He cracked a joke as Skarmory glared at him for it, like he just said something stupid. Which to be honest he probably did. Raice pet Trixie, and whispered something in her ear, causing her to stop for a second before turning around and flying in the opposite direction.* "Flying is fun on the back of a Pokémon. A-although you guys in Galar use taxis on corviknights right? In other regions, like hoenn f-for example, we just ride on the backs of our Pokémon. It's more of a b-bonding experience that way." *He smiled at the sights, it was a beautiful island from above. Unfortunately he'd have to pass on pictures for now, as the last time he tried to take a picture from Trixie's back, he completely shattered his phone*
