"I mean, it's totally crazy, but it's pretty cool, too? Plus, you didn't drop me, so, you know, that helps." She wouldn't have expected otherwise, of course, wouldn't have agreed to let him take her swinging through the air if there seemed to be any chance of that. Still, it's hard to resist the temptation to tease him about it a little.

Leaning back on one palm, she considers that for a moment, then shrugs. "I don't mind you talking about it. Aside from the sewer monster, my stories aren't all that interesting. Home... kind of sucked."
