[ If one looks closely at the video, one might see evidence of the beak currently holding the camera as Arlert is attempting to film this for posterity. Annie is riding an unfamiliar Flygon, one with a banner on its side visible behind her knee. Annie is wearing goggles and a backpack. The savvy will realise it's straps and the rest heavily imply it's... a parachute. ]

Arlert, I told you it was going to be fine.

[ Annie says, glancing back toward the Hoothoot in question, but all it seems to be is her looking at the camera, while Arlert has apparently been flying alongside Annie this whole time. One might wonder who her jump instructor is... until one realises........... it's the Flygon.

On a called out trill, Annie and the Flygon go into a roll, Annie falling from the Flygon's back and spreading her arms out to her sides. The Flygon does the same, leading from lower down, and Arlert follows after hovering higher above for a heartbeat.

The falling seems to go on for a while, and then the Flygon calls out another trill, different this time, and Annie pulls the release, jerked back as far as the camera sees as her chute deploys and she's left floating in the air, the Flygon wearing their "Skydiving Instructor" banner and Arlert now lower down, circling below, until they catch a thermal and glide on closer to Annie once again. She turns her head, smiles at Arlert (at the camera), for once in her life apparently unguarded.

Peaceful after the fall.

[ And she wonders if that's not the best her life is ever going to give, anyway. ]

There was this one time an Iron Lady came into my bar. Unknown to me [absolutely known to him] there was some warlords in my bar. An' she pulled out her righteously large gun and they got in a full firefight. Ever seen a woman do ballet across tables while shooting? Pretty sure that woman pulled off a 360 noscope, but maybe it was rose-tinted glasses.

It's elegant. It wasn't literally ballet, but it means the lady was light on her feet.

That's a thing that just comes with Guardians, though. Sometimes they get this little burst of physics. Like gravity stops matterin'. They can stay in the air a little longer than humans, so when they fight? Like fuckin' fleas bouncin' all over the place.

No gear, neither. Though I can make gear that boosts that.
