Diagonal lashings and transportation

[elisium he/him]

Talked about this on discord before, wanted to ask here.

If a windrunner or skybreaker were to lash themselves straight up while in one place, then somehow traveled a great distance directly to the side in any direction without breaking the original lashing, would the lashing remain going up or would they start falling diagonally? I remember in a WoB Brando mentioned that lashings work by tricking your spiritual self that there is a supermassive object in the direction you lashed yourself to in the spiritual realm, so would said object remain in place or directly above you?

If you had like a ladder going in a diagonal direction and you pulled yourself along it while being lashed up?

Becasue it would still remain stright up for you.

It's likely that while the descriptions we have in WoR and WoK include only the main six 3d vectors (up, down, left, right, forward, backward), the actual mechanics of gravitation mean that you can essentially pick any vector and move that way. This would make sense considering the description of the much more complex flying patterns of Radiants in... uhm... *cough* anyway--

That's just my conjecture though, I'm not sure if it answers your question. It does stand to reason that the vectors of the two lashing in different directions would add together, changing your direction.
