"Very well, then."
Quite suddenly, Shadow's arms shot forward at a nearly blinding speed. He grabbed the human before him and pulled him close to him, his wings flaring out. An inky, black darkness surrounded the two of them...whatever this darkness was, it was quite cold. Shadow proceeded to rise upwards, allowing the ceiling to collapse above them. The falling debris...it seemed to fall right through them, like they weren't there.
Shadow continued rising, gaining speed as he gained altitude. Finally, he careened out of one of the upper floor windows, taking off into the night with Aaron in tow.
He flew high above the smoke rising from the burning building...high above the crowd huddled around it. Then slowly, he began to descend. He lowered himself and Aaron carefully onto the top of the building he had initially come to watch the fire from. The popcorn he had left was still there, and he scooped it up as he sat back down, legs hanging over the edge of the building. The man popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth before addressing his human companion.
"Sit down and relax. If after a few minutes you aren't feeling the effects of the smoke and embers draining away, I will need to get you medical attention...by the by, I didn't catch your name."
