It's past dark, but when you need the outhouse, you need the outhouse.
Isabel picks her way across the yard of her father's house in the moonlight, hoping to sneak back into bed without waking him.

When they touch, Etty flinches back with a strangled squeak.

Etty scrunches in on herself a bit more.
"I hope my wing is okay in the morning," she murmurs, cradling her hurt elbow.

"I don't either. But if it is I can -" She shakes her head ruefully. "Try flying."

Etty holds her arm in place and is quiet.

They could probably stay like that for a while.

They could.
Etty's certainly not going anywhere.

And Nona doesn't want to leave her alone, and she's slept in worse places. So.

Etty doesn't fall sleep.
She doesn't usually have nightmares, but there's no time like the present.

Etty sits.
And cries, quietly, intermittently.
And at dawn she looks at the sun.

The change comes.
Her wing is whole.

That's good.
At least she isn't in physical pain anymore.
She tries the wing.
She makes a few false starts, getting lift and then not knowing what to do with it -
And then she's in the air, wobbly but aloft, and she smooths her flight and does her level best to travel in a straight line,
away
.

It goes well enough, for a little while, and then - is that the lake up ahead?
It is.

Etty doesn't understand.
She turns towards the rising sun, flies
that way
, keeping it ahead of her -

And after a few minutes, she comes upon the lake again.

She tries all the cardinal directions.
To approximately the same effect.
She half-lands, half-crashes into the lake in despair.
