He's been grinning at me for the last minute, and it was really starting to unnerve me. He was hardly ever so open with his expressions, and when he was, it was never a good thing.
"Have you ever been flying?"
"Does it look like I have wings?" He shot me a clearly unimpressed look, so I sighed and indulged him. "No, I have never been flying. I find the ground suits me just fine."
Which wasn't the exact truth. The aspect of flying, defying gravity, had caught my interest before, but I wasn't about to do something stupid. Besides, teleporting got me wherever I needed to be.
His smile grew and he grabbed my hand, leading me across Skyloft to one of its many docked ledges. He pulled me next to him until we were directly over the side, peering down, then he looked at me. I stared back, eyes narrowing then widening as I realized his intentions.
"You wouldn't dare—" Oh, he did dare. He grinned and with no hesitation or reluctance shoved me off the edge.
Looking back at the moment, I suppose I could have just teleported back to safety, but I had panicked and my mind had stopped working for a brief moment. My alarm was, however, short lived because in the next instant, he was diving next to me and then he was whistling.

Link had landed in front of me, seemingly unflustered by the sudden stop—and by my arms around his waist. I remembered how to breathe, and I snarl was already working its way up my throat when I was distracted.
The wind was everywhere. It whipped my hair away from my face, exposing my other eye, and I had no choice but to assess the surroundings.
It took a moment, but I realized the thing we were on was a giant bird, but it didn't seem to mind that it had two people on its back.
My gaze darted around, finding nothing but endless blue. It was mesmerizing.
"So," Link's voice called from in front of me, detached and airy. "Flying."
"Don't push me next time."
