"It's marvelous!" Rukia was holding tightly to the edge of the sidecar, peering out as she watched the ground shrink away beneath them. As a shinigami, her leaps and jumps often carried her a great distance, and she could stabilize reishi under her feet if necessary. But flying was definitely a new experience for her, and she was enjoying it immensely. Heights had never bothered her. If anything, Rukia constantly sought them out.

She looked back over her shoulder at Sparks with a smirk. "We're not quite so fortunate as you, remember. Would that I had a mount that could fly like this!"

As for chocobos, she still meant to get one, especially before she returned to Esdham. It was just a matter of finding the time to do it, that was what proved to be the largest difficulty.
