Catherine mounted Whisper with trepidation, but he was so gentle with him she didn't even realize they were in the air at first.  Then she made the mistake of looking down.  Her stomach turned over as the land rushed beneath them.  She closed her eyes until her stomach settled, knowing they weren't very high or going very fast, thinking she was going to ask for a flight bonus next time she saw Liam.<br/><br/>Gripping Whisper tightly, she peeked through her eyelids to see Shira in her bat form leading the way.  She thanked the Goddess that all she had to do was hold on, closing her eyes again and burying her face against her mount.  Even the opportunity to kill Drow was hardly worth this.  She began to mentally inventory their equipment to keep her mind off the fact that her feet were no longer on the ground where they belonged.<br/><br/>Her fingers began to cramp from holding so tightly and she wanted to call to Shira and ask how much farther they had to go, but that would have meant sitting up.  She certainly hoped flying would be better once they were in the Underdark and there wasn't so much open space around them.<br/>
