81 Isnt She Pretty? (2/2)
Flora hadn't realized the ankle weights were off yet and immediately flew up into the air. ”Yay, I can fly again! Watch me, Ruby, watch me!”
”Hey, I should really get some sleep,” he said tiredly as Flora continued flying around them.
Ruby had been sitting on him for hours but still wasn't quite able to get up on her own. ”Do you want me to get off you?”
”No, it's fine. I do need to pull my hood over my face though. Wake me up if you are able to put your glamour back on so we can go home sooner. I would prefer that over being potentially exposed out here, even if I am tired.”
She nodded and watched as he leaned his head back against the tree he was sitting in front of and pulled the hood completely over his face so not an inch of milky skin was exposed.
Ruby sighed, feeling guilty that she was holding them all up. Ash would be in a bed right now if not for her. She tried forcing herself up and putting on her glamour to no avail. She was too exhausted from last night's ordeal.
So she continued sitting on top of her friend and watching Flora happily race through the trees nearby. It was going to be a long day.

Ruby wasn't able to use her glamour again until nearly seven PM but the second she was able, Ash booked the first flight back to California and ran with both fairies on his back until they made it to human civilization and was forced to slow to a walk.
She wasn't terribly steady on her feet so Ash had to continue giving her a piggyback ride through the airport. People were staring at them because of that but at least they looked like normal humans acting a bit oddly.
Flora's glamour made her hair look like black cornrow braids and her mossy eyes turned brown. None of their glamours looked alike but the strangest thing about their little group was the fact that they had no luggage.
Ruby didn't have an ID on her to fly as an adult so Ash pretended that she was a minor because her glamour could technically pass for a human teenager. At least he was smart enough to bring his wallet with him.
Her purse had been left in the trunk of her car when she abandoned it in the bed and breakfast parking lot. She sincerely hoped the owner assumed she was a long-term stay guest and hadn't towed it away.
The only things that had been on her when she went in were her car keys and phone but Dorian had stolen the latter so she wouldn't be able to contact anyone. At least she still had her keys in her pocket so she could potentially get her car, fake human ID, and all of her debit cards back.
