[but they are falling. the sounds of the city are whirring by-- but they aren't exactly falling anywhere on the ground, it's just a quick set of movement, extending into nothing. but, hey, he can hold on, his eyes focused down, and then pulled up to her for a moment]

[he's familiar with falling-- and with hard landings. he doesn't remember every single one he's had, but he knows enough to know he had them. still, his arm grips against her as they come to a stop-- shifting just slightly in scenery from the city to a park-- it's empty even if they can hear the sounds of trains whirring by or people in the distance.]

Which ones?

Which you are an expert in along with missing the point.

Trusting's not something I'm good at. You're right.
