 "Hey. Hey guys can someone get me a drink? Pretty pretty please I can't move the grass is too nice. I don't want to move off the grass but I would loooooooooove a drink."

Well, looks like someone's had the Cake.

"I'm on the GRASS."

"Of course I can float. All children can float," ...she says all high and mightily.

And then makes the mistake of peering down.

And clings harder to the part of the construction that she's holding on to. "And you sound funny!" she accuses, because that's connected to anything.

"What? Are you crazy? Exactly no children can float! Except for you, but you're an outlier and I don't know how to take that yet so-" Ah shit, she looked down. This is going to be so difficult.

"Okay, You got me, I sound funny. But I also have a way down." He extends his hand to her as fully as he can without compromising his own position, holding out a rope on the safety harness to her.

"Well I'm a child, so either all children can float or not.

And I'm not going to try if it's not sure if I can. Especially if I have to let go of this for it.

That'd be stupid."

"You're stupid," she adds after a moment of deliberation and staring down intently.

"I'll be banking on the fact that you're the only child than can float, I think," He says, allowing himself to roll his eyes even in the perilous situation they're in.

"But you know what, you managed to get up here somehow. I bet it's because you just had another hollow feeling, right? That means whatever it is you're remembering, you did remember how to float. So you can do that. I bet you're the only one who can, that's gotta be pretty cool, huh?"

Dear god he's hoping he's right. He doesn't want to be cajoling a child to literally jump to her death. He just needs her to jump to him, and any amount of floating that can help bridge the gap is a bonus. Please dear God.

"Why should I be different from anyone else?

The children in Peter Pan can fly, too," she points out after a moment. "My current parents have lots of Disney DVDs, so I KNOW that."

At least that slight tangent puts her in the right mindset to be convinced that she can float, and she ends up rising slightly with the parts of her that aren't clinging to the roller coaster.

Jim decides that, no, He's not going to shatter Kitty's worldview just yet.

"You know what, you probably know a lot more about flying children than me. All I got is science. Who else can fly?" He's watching her slowly rise off the temporary scaffolding, and hopefully, he's not just tripping the fuck out.

...oops please imagine she said "Paul Potter" instead

"Uh." Her body hovers, not rising any further but not going back down, either. "Powerman! ...But he's not a child. So maybe sometimes adults can fly too," she admits. "And the children that fly around... around. I read a book. About children. In Sweden. And they could all fly at night. So all Swedish children can fly at night."

Harry Halfords.

"Yeah. Do you think it's night-time in Sweden right now?" What in the ever-loving shit is coming out of his mouth??!!??

"I bet it is. Daylight savings and all that. I bet if you tried real hard you could float all the way to the floor without my help, huh?"

[runs]

"It's probably night there right now.

...But Swedish children can only float sideways.

It's because of the horns, you know," she explains with an air of generosity about her, "they would float into things if they floated up."
