After your have gained your wings, you are met by a feast on the second floor with all that the forest can offer you. Tables and chairs are set up everywhere along the walkway between the houses, allowing the new visitors to meet and greet - or try to hide in the corners and eat berries all by themselves. Try your new wings to be the first to grab those delicious crumbs of walnut bread?

[ He's hungry, and the food doesn't seem to be poisoning anyone else, but the Fair Folk ain't good news if you're Irish and have heard one too many stories from a mother and an aunt from the old country. Besides, he doesn't quite feel like socialising that much, and so is keeping to the sidelines. Being dead tends to get to a fella. ]

Hey.

[ No sense not being friendly to someone who might need a hand, but years of experience with Steve's pride have him not openly offering just yet. ]

How're you doin'?

[guidesandleads]

I've been better, honestly.

[Really, how hard is it to give him a chair meant for wings? He's stuck in his, now that he sat back down in it]

Wheelchairs aren't supposed to be given to people who can fly, apparently.

[redactions]

[ He ducks to examine the back of the chair, true enough, it's restrictive. He suppresses a grimace. ]

Well, I'm pretty handy with a wrench, if you want, we'll see what we can do about it.

[guidesandleads]

Actually, if you could lift me out I could...fly to a different chair for now.

[ He tilts his head, making sure he heard the request right, then reaches out without hesitation, carefully picking Charles up, supporting his back. ]

There you go.

[guidesandleads]

[Wings are apparently useful, even if his legs hang beneath him as dead weight. He moves to one of the stumps with a sigh]

Thank you. Charles Xavier.

[He offers a hand]

[redactions]

James Barnes.

[ A firm shake. Brits are the best, don't let anyone say different. ]

[guidesandleads]

[Don't worry, he won't]

How long have you been here, James?

[redactions]

Just got here, figure everyone else did too [ he gestures vaguely to some other figures wandering around outside the room or testing out their own wings. ].

[guidesandleads]

Damn. I was hoping someone knew what exactly was going on here. I had things to do back home.

[redactions]

You and everybody else pal.

[ A helpless shrug. Not him. All that was left there was the bottom of a ravine, and his expression flickers briefly, chilled at the thought. ]

Sure there is one, but we should get some rest first and get used t'these.

[ He jabs a finger at his mothlike wings. ]

[guidesandleads]

[Charles's wings are the glittery pixie kind, though not as showy as some]

I'd like answers before I try to sleep in a strange world that shrinks us down and gives us wings. No one seems to have any, however.

[redactions]

[ Wryly, ] You could always shout until somebody hears ya.

[ Which he doesn't recommend, for the record, it doesn't seem like there's anything else here except them and the fireflies. ]
