Description
So my brain has been doing the mental equivalent of a dial-up noise for the past few days. I'm not going back on hiatus or anything (though comments/replies/DMs and such may still be a little slow (which is nothing new, really, so I'm good with that )). But one way or another I felt the need to do a bit of semi-ventart, so here we are.

But yeah, as I mentioned here , the DragonSwap version of Rin does not fly. She always says she can, but she doesn't; if she flies at all it's usually short trips, and rarely far from the ground. This is because Dragon wings are like any other muscle; they require that the dragon uses those wings in order to keep them strong, or retain their ability to fly at all. And unfortunately... Rin usually can't bring herself to fly much. Given that her depression/anxiety sometimes makes it difficult for her to even move, she finds it very difficult to do something that can be as exhausting as flying; particularly now that her wings have started to get weaker and weaker. Physically, she could build that strength back up. She could get to the point where she can fly 'properly' again. But mentally? She struggles to get out of bed some days. Flying is less of a priority, at this point.

She doesn't talk about it much, however; if anyone asks if she can't fly, she will say that she can, but just 'doesn't much'. She might end up talking about it eventually, but being a dragon, she's a bit of a recluse- often even as far as the other dragons are concerned- so the only person who really knows the full truth is Orion. (And he kept Lux from ever asking.) Red found out eventually, but it took some time.
