Ah... Shiva's excitement and anticipitation of this grande finale descreases a little as she gazes over to Raphael, despite he has took that ready-for-the-flight stance there was some (for Shiva) obvious jealousy boiling beneath his still puffed-up feather coat.

It causes her to smile endearingly over to the archangel before adressing him with a soft voice that tried hard to hold some snickering back. "Now, Raphael, dear one... You don't have to hide that from me. I wish for you to have your fun flying with me, Cottonee and Genie as well, you see? When was the last time you've soared across an open sky like that? You definitely deserve and are allowed to do that just because you enjoy it, look at the sky of incoming dusk." *waving towards the low sun* "Such a neat setting to end our stay in Cress City." Shiva pasues here for short, as she speaks up again a playful and casual grin graces her. "We're going to suprise Terra and laugh about his reaction towards me flying on Genie, don't you want to use that opportunity to explore your very own fae nature with us? I know it's deep within you."

She even beckon's the archangel a bit closer, leans into him and whispers on purpose in such a volume that Genie would JUST pick up what the fae enthusiast tells Raphael next. "How'd it be if you'd show me and Genie how well, gracefully and lethally you can dart across the open sky?~~" (Means: He'd probably understand that he is asked to show off his most dangerous move: Sky Attack! If he doesn't bite to that, I'd be suprised.)

Aha! Raphael's attitude changes instantly. He starts glowing as he follows Shiva and Genie through the air. When you get close, he impatiently pulls ahead. Right over Terra's head, he releases his pent up energy in a burst that causes a tiny thunderclap of inrushing air. Terra looks up and sees Shiva on Genie, quite close but high enough to emphasize that she's FLYING.

Shiva's endearing look grew delighted and content upon seeing and picking up empathically that Raphael has indeed taken the bait offer, she makes extra-sure that he himself notices that she's happy with the archangel's agreement as she gently waves her arms around Genie's neck again. "Thank you, Raphael. Really! Come on, enjoy it, next time we can even fly together but with my Tropius as a mount." ^^ Something tells her though that the archangel wasn't going to lay off his starting competitive feelings towards this green desert dragon - she's been messing a tad bit too much with him to forgive and forget her antics towards him that easily!

How right Shiva was as the flight wind ran through her hair, as it almost drove tears into her eyes. Several times she had to gently lean a bit closer into Genie to maintain a secure mount, she didn't dare to loosen her arms around the dragoness's neck once. This...this was SO different than flying on her green sauropode and came with a totally new feeling of riding Pokemon - before she has surrendered to her parent's suggestions to travel a region before going for the path of a Professional Breeder, she would have never-ever dreamt that she, she with that love of the arcane and the fae, would fly on the back of a mischievous dragon belonging to a group member.

She savoured every moment, promised herself to remember this indescribably feeling of darting through the dusk on the back of Genie. Often her gaze met Raphael, Cottonee and even Genie herself (though she may not see unless looking back) as she subconsciously wanted to share this sensation with them.

On purpose she did not audibly praised Raphael for his wonderful display of Sky Attack, simultaneously being amazed and afraid of that dangerous move of the oh so serene archangel of Ventus. It's coded into their genes to learn this technique upon touching that Shiny Stone, so much she knows - maybe that glowing when preparing for the attack is a remnant of the stone's glowing. It probably is in her opinion. For a few moments as she watched Raphael, her mind drifts off to an image of Raphael riding a hurricane her fluffball has casted to empower the impact of his attack Though when Raphael would by chance look over to his new Master, he receives a smile that's radiating with pride towards him, thankfulness to him and his father (as Ventus has left Raphael in her care in the first place! <3 ) and a silent assurance that there'll be cuddles and snacks for him as a reward tonight.

When they all flew over Terra's head, Shiva simply and blatantly waves to him from Genie's back.
