[Kaede had discovered a small benefit to these not-quite-vectors; they were good at finding tiny anchor points instead of just cratering whatever surface they touched.
The gales certainly did their best to test her ability not to fall to a messy death, though. As did the bird...things, and getting used to being thrown around on some gravitational slingshot over the largest gaps.
The diclonius had been in the middle of trying to shake her hair out into less of a horrible mess when she heard buzzing wings, a glob of spittle sticking to her elbow. Her fire vectors smashed one bug against the wall she was closest to, the heat starting to melt and loosen the substance.]
It'll take me a minute.
[She glared at the walls; it wasn't just one nest, or even a few—of course not. Just one bolt of fire wouldn't cut it. But Kaede was reluctant to disperse the vectors just yet; finding their echoes in her mind was surprisingly difficult.]
