listening to Circles for this just because. haha

[ Brigade runs through the gate in time to see Kaz make the jump to the ledge of the next rooftop. He smiles.

The boy isn't even relying on the Frog Feet boots. He's just running. There's still the flair he always has, but it's controlled and measured. He does what he knows he can, never pushing too far past his limit. He's not using the Frog Feet to do tricks beyond his current level. They're just there as a security.

The Everyman's walk. Kaz has been very different since he came back from it. He started unfurling his real wings when he let Oswald's go.

Given the opportunity, that boy will always choose to fly. Now it was their job as his friends to help him soar ]


I'm coming, Kaz! [ He calls as he breaks into a sprint, building momentum, falling into the freeflow. He runs to the edge of the building and runs there, with the beautiful drop below him and to his right, confident in his skill that he won't teeter and fall. It's always just so beautiful running on the edge.

As he reaches the end of the roof, he times his jump perfectly and lands onto the next rooftop. A shed's in his way. He leaps high into the air with the strength of his legs and the force of the motion he's built up, doing a reverse somersault in mid-air, falling back to the ground in an Air Christ, and rolling onto and off the edge of the shed's roof on his shoulder.

It's not a combat situation. It's not being flashy. It's just self-expression, and he hasn't had the opportunity to do that in so long.

He catches up to Kaz, running alongside but above him on an elevated ledge from where the boy was running. Brigade launches himself into a superman, tucks in and touches the top of his head onto Kaz's before rolling back onto the ground without breaking his momentum, and propelling himself with the force of getting up a good 20 yards ahead and onto the next rooftop.

He smiles back at his Blademate. Tag me back, his look says to him. Brigade slows his pace ever so slightly and carefully to Kaz's pace. If the boy pushes, he'll catch him. And if he's smart and fast on his feet, he'll be it again.

He knows Kaz can do it. ]
