Azrail takes note of how Will looks now and doesn't mind it. Even if he looks different, Will is Will no matter what form he is in. He walks after West and North, who has East.
Churrio waits for them at the top, wondering if she should teleport them all up before shaking her head and deciding against it. She was reaching her limit of teleportation and distance traveled via that for the day, maybe two days.
"Zio? He's not good? How's that possible? Anyone can act shifty. Riley acts shifty half the time!" Austyn says, pointing to the dragon child who was currently looking out the window.
"What? I do not." Riley says, turning to face Austyn. Austyn grins and giggles, shrugging his shoulders.

Will follows before opening his wings, taking off in the air. He does some loops in the air before landing down next to Azrail, offering a hand so he could come on a ride with him. West was going slower then the rest before running to catch up. They looked around, watch North and East bicker a bit like the siblings they where.
"Dark magic," Tippy said quietly from his corner.
"Everyone looks shifty but Zio is shifty. I bet the reason Will was frozen was because of her," Rin said in a sassy way, "Am I right or am I right?"
"Not likely," Blackout said shaking his head, "More like Riley's fault, he has a portable flamethrower," He was referring to the fact he could breathe fire.

"How would someone freezing be my fault?!" Riley asks, shuddering when flame was mentioned. He didn't use his fire breath. Once did, and it ended terribly. He wasn't doing that again, no sir.
"Dark magic? What makes magic dark?" Austyn asks.
Azrail hesitates, before taking Will's hand. He didn't mind heights when there was something solid beneath him like a bridge or a tree branch, but when things got a bit more free than that, he was a tiny bit more anxious. But he trusted Will not to drop him so it should all be fine, right?

"Using it the wrong way," Pinky explained to Austyn, "Using... let's say fire magic to burn down a bunch of crops, dark magic. There is another kind... but I don't know much about that."
"The demons, they can teach you," Tippy said quietly, staring at nothing again.
"Because you have fire powers. Fire melts ice," Rin said in a totally smart way.
He pulls Azrail into a tight hug before launching into the air. He holds Azrail tightly, not tight enough to hurt him but enough so he won't fall. He stops not to high, maybe 24 feet off the ground, making sure Azrail was okay.

'Words can't hurt you.' Riley reminds himself as he tries his best to keep calm. He also had to tell himself that he hadn't used dark magic because it had all been an accident. And he might have been able to help Will, but then again he might not have been able to. "I'm not using fire powers, if I even have them. I never told you I have them, if I have them."
Azrail closes his eyes and holds on tight to Will. Try as he might talk himself into liking this, it was a bit hard. Flying - or being up high in the sky in general - wasn't his thing. Airplanes scared him, being in elevators was terrifying, and let's not even talk about zip lining.

"Your soul speaks the truth," Tippy whispered.
"Well dark magic is what mind cont-"
"Fate," Tippy added quietly as he cut Rin off.
"Exactly, she uses that! It's one of the magics you can learn," Rin finished before turning to address Riley, "Your lose. I know you have them because I can feel the way fear crawls inside you like worms. Because I totally have that power!"
Will whispered reassurance as he flew forward. He didn't go too high, keeping in mind that Azrail didn't like it. He found a ledge with a nice view, far away from the others. He went over to it, landing on it and gently placing Azrail down.
"You okay," He asked as he turned and looked at the pretty view.

Riley shakes his head. "What would I be afraid of? How do you have that power? I thought you just healed people."
"Azrail does other things than heal people. He gets injured, makes mistakes, learns from them, and becomes a better person." Austyn says, ever sunny and cheerful.
Azrail resisted the urge to curl up in a ball and never surface. He was on ground at least, so that was good. He scoots back from the edge a little bit more than necessary. "Sor-ry-y." He says, shaking. He knew he was safe, he wouldn't fall to his death, there was no way Will was going to let him. But the fear, no matter how irrational, haunted him.

"That you might hurt someone or you might lose control. I don't, I just know, I'm very smart, totally," Rin said with a grin as Tippy sighed, "I am so amazing! I like, never get hurt. It's my skill!"
Pinky rolled her eyes, "So you say."
Will seems surprised, brushing his own red tears away, confused at why he was 'crying'. He went over to Azrail, gently hugging him.
"It's okay, we can go back down if you want," He offers still not used to Azrail talking, "If there is anything I can do to make you feel better, please tell me."
(I heard with anxiety people tell you to stop being scared and stuff... like so rude and unconsiderate. Must be hard to have anxiety)

Riley makes a sound like that of an animal getting startled. He stares at Rin, unable to believe his ears. No, he couldn't have gotten it right. That was... He hadn't told anyone that!
Austyn gaped at Rin. "Teach me your ways! Of not getting hurt. Because I get hurt too many times to count."
Azrail shakes his head quickly, almost making him snap his own neck he moved his head so fast. He didn't want down, he didn't want up, he didn't want to move. It seemed fear had paralyzed him. He just had to keep repeating to himself that it was all going to be ok. Then he would be able to get over it long enough for them to get away. Hopefully. Will's hug helped.
(Had that happen before to me, but it's usually me telling myself there was literally no reason to fear. Anxiety is hard to deal with. I've gotten more control over it, but I still have anxiety.)

"I'm joking, Misery told me that, at least Tippy told me Misery told him that," Rin said glancing at Tippy, who seemed startled, "I'm just careful, that's all! Just be careful and you'll be fine."
"Don't do dangerous things," Blackout added.
Will looked concerned, but knew Azrail would be alright, "It's okay to be scared, I'm... sc-cared of my father," He said, voice shaking a bit, but he was just trying to make Azrail feel better.
He kept hugging him, refusing to let go until he felt better. He gently kissed his cheek, blushing a bit. He hoped that would help him feel better.
(I have ADHD... so I wouldn't understand what it's like. I'm glad you've gotten better at controlling your anxiety, that's good to hear! I feel mental disorders is something everyone learns to live with, though it's deffaintly not easy)
