[Hyenadog]

At one point during the flight, Hitsugi took the basket, holding it with both hands below himself. His human arms didn't do much when he flew, so he could easily carry things with them. Though, maybe the cat wasn't so pleased with its position hanging from so high.

He grunted softly when Lucien shifted, adjusting his body to compensate for the added weight. His Staley flight faltered slightly when the man nibbled his ear and shifted against his tail. He needed to keep the feathers clear for steering.

Unfortunately for Lucien, he couldn't reach the birdman's belly from behind with his wings open. Beneath the feathers, powerful muscles went from his lower spine to his wing-shoulders, creating almost a V-shaped cape. These muscles helped to hold his lower body up and close the gap between his wings and body.

"N-not if you keep nibbling my ears..." he called back, voice muffled by the wind. They had slowed to a gentle glide, but the noise from air rushing past them made talking difficult.
