Or at least not in the way Riku was worried about. After all, even in the world of traditional music, there was always a bit of media attention, even when the singer was human and then there was Torikai's carefully and firmly hidden reaction to attention.<br/>Some, she knew, would be scared. Others would feel threatened and counter with aggression.  Torikai, on the other hand, even though she hid it,<em>loved</em>the feeling of all those eyes on her, a familiar tingle starting up in her body. The way they scurried out of her way certainly felt nice, too.<br/><br/>The mention of having to take a train trip did cause her pretty face to scrunch up in a momentary frown, though. Even in expensive seats the plane had felt cramped. Next to that, the train would be even worse. Still, her host was probably right, and a car would take longer - and be roughly as cramped as the train.<br/>On the other hand, there were two points she felt were important, and they weren't the ones rising up from the thrill of all the eyes on her.<br/>She was, though, momentarily glad that her bra would hide<em>those</em>.<br/><br/>"Speaking of towers and open air," she began. "Is there anywhere near your home where I would be free to fly?" This one was important to her. Not only did her wings need the exercise to stay in proper state, but she simply loved flying, like most other harpies and tengu. Going without it would be ... unpleasant. And secondly, her pride. "And you would be surprised if you saw my home. It is hardly just a simple cave."<br/>The idea of letting him know that she was nearly as Japanese as he was did occur to Torikai, but the attention made her feel playful, and she decided to see if she could have some fun with the situation first.
