Like an infatuated little birdling she whirled around him, her feathered wings of brown and white nowhere near as impressive or carrying a remotely similar span as his. It was impossible to speak, of course, but words hardly seemed a necessity in this moment. Taking on the shape of a different species did not quite alter her state of mind, but it did create a secondary intuition, one that had Olivia rely far more on communication through actions than words. Still, a happy shriek pierced the night as Jason asked her if she were ready. The sheer height at which they hovered would be dazzling to any man not graced with the ability to flight, but to these two thieves in the night it was an opportunity to feel a freedom they rarely got to enjoy.<br/><br/>The steep dive was something that Olivia thoroughly enjoyed. Her avian form shot towards the ground in a way that left no doubt why hawks were considered such skillful hunters, and as they fell she spiralled around the angelic form of Jason Vandel, enticed by the sight of his careless plummet towards the ground. He was agile, but also considerably larger and unlike birds, the human figure did not lend itself to the same sharp turns and sudden changes in trajectory. But how he surprised her all over, and had she been the girl that she ordinarily was than he would have seen the expression of sheer ecstasy in her eyes as she shot after him the moment her vertical flight became a horizontal one. Olivia found it impossible to keep up with him, but the fact that he took no pity on her, that he did not hold back for the sake of misplaced chivalry was something she adored and she gladly pushed her feathery body above and beyond, two shadows in the nights chasing one another in a mad dash mere feet above the ground. They raced for miles, until the skyline of Las Vegas became visible once more, only to careen back towards their starting point, moving closer to the stars again.<br/><br/>Higher and higher they went, and Olivia could feel the strain of her body from the exertion of using it so intensely. She cared little about sore muscles; even if she'd be recovering for days it would so be worth it. Still, the fatigue was slowly becoming evident, and she would have to return to the ground if only for a little while, simply to catch her breath. She was young, after all, and recovered quickly. Once more she felt like going up and up, though, and Jason gladly followed her in her chase towards the moon until they could go no higher and the world below had become but a faint, dark memory. For moments they hovered there, the little hawk before the man who shared her secret, curiously watching. Olivia felt herself growing slightly frustrated; the inability to communicate barring her from conveying just how grateful, how incredibly<em>happy</em>she felt right now, in this moment. The cry that ensued was one that no doubt reflected that sentiment, and the dexterous little bird flew up closer to Jason, so close that the edge of its wing brushed against his uncovered chest.<br/><br/>And then she abandoned her form, and it was a swift transition. It had to be, for the moment Olivia returned to her human self her ability to remain airborne was entirely nonexistent. It was something that probably warranted a word of warning, but there was an obvious issue there that she was sure would make Jason forgive her for her apparent impudence. The reason for her proximity became evident as she quickly wrapped her arms about his shoulders, praying that the sudden burden would not cause Jason to come crashing down - she wasn't that heavy - although even then, the sudden pull of gravity in all its force had her struggle to hold on.<em>Clearly she'd underestimated the situation a little. </em><br/><br/>"Heh," she uttered breathlessly, an incredulous little smile on her lips as she watched the world below. "Sorry about that. I didn't think you spoke<em>bird</em>quite fluently enough to catch on." In that moment Olivia was all too aware of the physical contact that existed between the two of them, although the tactile sensation wasn't all that had her all but enthralled. The rushing sound of the vast wings, that moved so calmly as they kept the both of them afloat was all she could hear. Her body, so very naked, was only shielded from sight by the fact that she was pressed against Jason, shifting the emphasis away from sight and to all her remaining senses instead, which felt ridiculously heightened. Olivia could feel his heartbeat against her chest, could feel the warmth radiating off his body, no doubt raised to even higher temperatures by their unlikely workout. She inhaled the natural scent that surrounded him, something that she loved in a more primal sort of way and although she had promised to be a willful test subject in Jason's indecisiveness where his explorations beyond marriage were concerned, right now it became incredibly difficult to keep to such noble ambitions. When Olivia dared to glance up she wasn't certain she had it in her to keep from doing the very thing she knew she shouldn't, and she sucked her lips between her teeth as if to offset that urge as she set her gaze upon his. "I should thank you," she said, her voice a hushed whisper even if there was no one around for miles to hear. "I've never done anything even remotely like this before. For the first time it's almost as if - as if all of this makes sense. As if<em>I</em>make sense." Olivia shifted in her spot a little, her fingertips brushing against the back of his neck as she glanced towards the blanket of utter blackness below. Her smile widened, tugging at one corner of her mouth more than the other.<br/><br/>"Kind of takes away the point of sky diving when you can do this, huh," she absently murmured.<br/>
