"Ummm, well, there's the library . . . and the ruins are sort of pretty and there's the Question Bridge that doesn't have questions anymore and -"
As Duck talks, she turns absently down one small street and then another. Quaint, faintly undefined houses loom up to either side, occasionally broken by small storefronts, and once, dramatically, by a large, Gothic stone building which they are currently passing under.
"Hey look!" she says, turning back the way they had come. "You can see my dorm building from here!" Trowa and Duo pause to peer over her shoulder.
Mytho (minus his pants) hits the ground with a THUD.
And then the pale boy in white crashes into Trowa. While on the way down he may have looked like he was floating, a feather on the breeze, he lands like what he is: a boy who's (somehow) fallen from a really high tower.
". . . Ow," says Trowa, from underneath a heap of splatted prince.
There's a soft fluttering sound from above which begins just as they pass under the highest tower of the massive building. It could easily be mistaken for the rush of a bird's wings. Though it would have to be a very large bird.
It is not, however, a large bird. Instead it is a pale-haired boy. He is falling, and from the great height of the tower the falling is likely to be followed by a painful landing. He does not seem worried by this fact. Quite the contrary, he seems rather serene.
This time, Duck has dragged Trowa over to look into a nearby shop window. Duo is two steps behind. (He doesn't look up.)

Some sharp observer may recognize two things about the pale boy. First, he has a sort of haunted beauty about him. The sort that makes all the ladies swoon. Second, and perhaps more worrisome, he is wearing no pants.
Trowa is wearing the particular kind of impassivity that signals a certain degree of what the hell, world; Mytho, in his arms, is limp and serene.
And then, from somewhere offstage, comes an exuberant run of chords, and voices lifted in song:

"Oops."
Okay, okay, take two!
". . . Ow," says Trowa, from underneath a heap of splatted prince.
Uhhh, take three?

WHAM.
"Medic!"
Take ... four! Four!
"Out of my way!" Fakir shouts. "Get out of my way!"
You'd think people would listen. They don't. Fakir manages to knock Duo, Trowa and Duck over before catching Mytho neatly in his arms.
"See?" he says to Mytho. "I told you I'm good enough to make the basketball team."
Re: TAKE FIVE
"Oh oh oh oh I got this one I got this one!" she shouts, bouncing. "Magic Flower Waltz Powers . . . MAAAAAAAAAKE UP!"
TAKE SIX, and for god's sake REMEMBER THE BLOCKING THIS TIME
