"Come...with me?" Kimi asked, her voice full of worry. She managed to swallow it down, though. "Sure, but...if you're caught, it's different from me being caught. I barely had a family when I was captured but you..." she said softly. She didn't want to get Ashel in trouble, or into any unneeded danger that could possibly ruin the rest of his life. Her's was already screwed and she didn't want to be the one that ruined his.
"But if you really want to, you can" she said. And he was right. He could help her find her sister. Actually, he's the one that knows which lord and lady her sister might be taken care of.

"I know...but I want to come." He decided firmly - he was tired of not taking any risks. "I don't have any reason to go to Astaria myself, anyway, so I don't want to stay here. And as long as I make sure to hide my wings again when we get back to shore..."
He hoped no one would see and recognize him while he was flying, though. Maybe he could find a coat with a hood - perhaps if he hid his face no one would know it was him even if they caught sight of them. His parents would wonder why he was back so early, though, if he went home afterwards. They'd be furious if they found out he'd used his +anima. But he didn't want their approval, or lack of, to control him this time. "When do we leave?" He asked, feeling restless now that he knew what was coming.

"Well, either now, if none of the other passangers on on the top, or at twilight when it's too dark to see our faces. But...if we do leave at twilight, we'd have less time to have light, so I'd take risk of our faces being seen now" Kimi said, partly unsure. If they left now, they'd have more light and it'd probably be before twilight when they reached Sailand. That is, depending on how fast they fly. But if they left now, they could lose their way or...
A thought accured to her. Ashel was a owl +anima, right? Did that mean... "Ashel, you can see in the dark, right?" she asked. This small assest might help them immensly.

"Oh!" Ashel nodded. That was right, he did - he hadn't even thought about that! "Yeah, I can - if we end up out in the dark I think I should still be able to make out which way to go." Maybe he really would be useful. He smiled at the thought. He was almost excited at the idea of the flight - it would be by far the longest he'd ever been up in the air.
Absently, he started digging through his bags, seeing if he'd brought along his hooded sweatshirt. Yep! There it was! He pulled out the familiar reddish coat. "And if we do travel in the daylight, I do have this." He added, trying to think about if there was anything else he might need.

"Alright then!" Kimi said. She was excited. Maybe if they left now, they wouldn't have to fly as much if they stayed on the boat. The boat that was going to Asteria and a away from Sailand.
"We should leave now" she decided. "It might be the best thing for now." She shoved the slave collar into a pocket in her skirt. It might come in handy later. When you're on a mission like this, anything and everything could be importent.
She walked out onto the deck. No one was up here. Strange. But you got to take what you're given. Most of the passangers where below the deck so they wont see them. She looked back at Ashel and gave him a "lets go now" kind of look before spreading her wings. She jumped up and was off.

"Right." Ashel nodded at Kimi's decision to leave now. A part of him was sad to leave the boat, especially before the dance, but as long as no one was there to see them, that probably was the most logical action.
Standing up off the bed, he slipped on his hooded sweatshirt, loosening the hood to the point where it hung low over his face, the shadows partially obscuring it. Hopefully that would be enough to keep anyone from finding him out. Quickly taking his bag and wrapping it around his waist, he followed Kimi out to the deck.
They were lucky. There wasn't anyone nearby. It was close to lunch now, most of the people were probably either eating or napping, and most of the boat's officers were probably distracted by setting up for the dance later.
He glanced out over the water again. He suddenly felt nervous. He could count the number of times he'd used his +anima on his hands - flying wasn't something he necessarily considered himself good at, and now they were going to go out over the ocean, all the way back to Sailand? It sounded more intimidating now that they were outside and getting ready to take off, but it was too late to back out now.
Following Kimi's lead, he let his wings burst from his shoulders after a last cautious glance behind him. Giving a jump and a few fast flaps of his owl-like wings, he was in the air - the solid surface of the ship leaving him as his feet hovered over the sea.
