Snippet #1894903

Aello scans the ground below her and spots a couple run into the forest to her left. She glides through the air and takes to a dive. The branches come at her fast as she dives through the tree top, but she has never once hit one. She just flits through with ease, avoiding the branches withing centimeters of her long white feathers. She thrusts her legs out in from of her and gracfullly lands on a branch a few feet away from the couple. Some leaves fall and a tig snaps as she settles, I hope they didn't hears that... She sits and watched the two frolic and play with eachother. Some part of her wants to call out to them, but on the other hand she has never really been great at interacting with others. She talons sink easily into flesh and she herself is so delicate. One false move and she could lose too many feathers and be rooted to the earth for weeks. Someone always ends up getting hurt. For now she watches, forming her opinion of the creatures before her. I have never needed anyone before, why should I interact with them now? Will they even like me...or are the doctors right? Am I truly meant to be alone.
She ruffles her feathers and scoffs. Aello was always strictly regulated. Her ability to fly made her hard to control and for the mojority of her life she stayed in a cage. She always knew of the world outside of the facility,she used to be able to fly high enough to see the ocean. The sensor on her leg prevents her from flying any higher than the watch towers now.
THe doctors hated treating her,she never cooperated. She always lashed out and make a scene. This may in face be her first interaction with somene who isnt going to stick her or run tests... but something inside her sitll hesitates.
