Sure, although you guys don’t need to wait for me.

The elevator dinged, the doors opening. Edgar gasped as he saw the view. They were so high up! He glanced over at Jenny to see how she was handling it.

Jenny had her eyes tightly squeezed shut. She was tightly squeezing Ed’s hand as well. She wasn’t panicking quite yet, although she still needed to step out of the elevator. She’d let Ed lead her along so she didn’t bump into anyone.

He squeezed her hand gently. “Do you want to go back down?” he whispered so only she could here. He looked at her. The city was beautiful from up the arch, but nothing compared to her.

“Nope. I’m fine.”

Jenny’s words were rather clipped. Physically, she was perfectly fine. She was trying her best to be in denial about her less-than-fine mental state. As if in an attempt to prove her claim, she started to blindly walk out of the elevator. The sooner she could get this over with, the better.

Edgar led her through the throng of people. “Where do you want to go? By a window? As far away from a window as possible?”

“I’d rather you please not tell me where we are.”

Ed probably would want to be by a window. That couldn’t upset Jenny if she didn’t know about it. The reason she agreed to come up here was so that everyone else could enjoy the view, and the last thing she wanted to do was ruin that.

“Ok.” He made his way towards a less crowded area, right up next to one of the enormous windows. He stared out it, then sat down, helping Jenny down.

Jenny continued to hold Ed’s hand tightly. The urge to peek was strong, but she resisted it for the moment.

”What’s it look like?”

She hadn’t been this high up before. Oh gosh, she was really high up. It was getting harder to not think about that.

He leaned against her. “It’s beautiful…you can see the whole city from here. Though it doesn’t compare to how you look.”

Jenny smiled, blushing a little. Ed said it was pretty. Maybe that would keep it from being scary. She slowly cracked open one eye. He was right. It was beautiful. She could see the city stretched out below, tiny people driving toy cars amongst towering structures of steel. It was also extremely terrifying. Jenny immediately shut her eye again, her legs somehow shaking even though she was sitting down.

Edgar extricated his hand from her grasp, wrapping it around her waist and pulling her against him. “Sorry it’s so scary for you though. Can I do anything to help?”

“Nope!”

Jenny’s voice was squeaky. Her normally high-pitched tone had become almost piercing.

”Please tell me if you see any cool birds or something, though.”

She wouldn’t be able to look at them, but she really liked birds. They were far braver than she was. Even just knowing they were there would make her happy.

“There’s a nest right on the edge, actually. It looks like a falcon’s. There’s even a chick!” He hugged her tightly.

Shoot. Why had she asked that? She should’ve known she would be tempted to look. The urge to open her eyes was even stronger, now. She had to see that baby bird, even if it meant risking going into a panic. Maybe she could minimize the potential for terror.

”May you please point my face in its direction?”

He leaned her face up towards him, then kissed her. Then he pointed her towards the nest.

Jenny blushed again, briefly forgetting what was going on. After regaining her senses, she very slowly opened her eyes, trying to focus all of her attention on the nest. She was successful. The baby bird was really, really cute.

She stumbled over towards the nest, legs still shaking, and plopped down next to the window. Jenny would’ve pressed her face up against the glass if it weren’t for her extreme terror at the thought. Seeing the chick made the fear well worth it.

Edgar went with her, glad  she seemed to be handling her fear. He smiled, looking at the baby bird. It was cute.

“It looks like a Jarnathan.”

Jenny inched slightly closer.

”I wonder if he can fly yet.”

Was it scary for a chick to be so up high without knowing how to fly if it fell? Perhaps it didn’t realize how high up it was yet. That nest could still be its entire world. There wasn’t much to worry about in there. Sometimes Jenny wished her world was that small too.

“I don’t think it can yet. It’ll learn though.”

“Hopefully it doesn’t get shoved out of the nest too soon.”

Jenny was already very attached to Jarnathan. He didn’t seem to notice the two people staring at him, or maybe he just didn’t care. A bird as adorable as he was probably got a lot of admirers. A shadow passed over the nest.

”Oh, there’s his mom!”

Will she save him from the chimera? That could be interesting.

“You’re right! She probably has his lunch.”

Wait, a bird gets eaten?? I don’t remember anything  She’ll 100% try to save it if that’s what happens, though.

The mama bird proceeded to feed her baby its lunch. It was gross. Jenny loved it. She swore she could hear the chick chirping happily, although the glass was too thick to actually hear anything. She pressed an ear up against the glass to see if that would help. All it did was remind her how high up they were and make her dizzy again.

No, but the window could shatter or something else that threatens him.

Edgar pulled her back carefully. He hadn’t been afraid of the height, but with Jenny so close to the edge…well, now he was.

Quote

I’m on board with that!

The baby bird had ducked its head below the side of the nest and out of sight, presumably to go to sleep, so Jenny shut her eyes again. She slowly started backing up, going in the general direction of where they’d been sitting. Without the chick to distract her, she had quickly become overwhelmed. Her fear of heights didn’t seem to be easing up yet.
