But her pedicurist just gets out the diamond files, oils the bearings on the Dremel, and walks away knowing that she'll be able to make this month's payment on the Bentley.zachariah wrote:Her Podiatrist must have nightmares when she makes an appointment.

I see it as this way. Astali fell below Kath, realization dawns that she can fly and she transmogrifies into the flighty being she is. This makes her lighter than Kath who is still falling at the same rate of speed, thus putting Astali above her. Astali has her Holy crap moment where she realizes Kath is still falling and that she can't transmogrify and swoops down for the save.DilyV wrote:how atsali fell below Kath, how she got back above Kath to swoop down and grab her before she splatted on the bottom of the abyss, how far Kath had fallen before Atsali morphed and grabbed her
Yeah, I can't figure that one out yet either. Unless, there was another flying personage and that entity effected the rescue of Kath. But the only way I could see that Kath would not make a remark about the rescue by now is if she had fainted until the rescuer flew off, so she just assumes that Astali did it.

I imagine it goes like this. Astali was hanging onto Kath's hips as they dangled from the cliff face (she grabbed Kath instead of the cliff when the floor fragment gave way). When Kath let go, they fell, Astali on the bottom. Kath, perhaps instinctively, went semi spread-eagle, back down; this slowed her. Astali on the hand, realizing - belatedly - she could fly, grew wings and perhaps had smarts enough to do a loop around the crater, heading slightly downward and flapping for all she was worth so gravity and her own efforts gave her tremendous air speed. Having gone all the way around the crater and approaching the falling Kath from beneath she angled up, grabbed Kath as she flashed past her - the sudden change in direction ripping Kath's socks and boots off, conveniently without breaking her neck in the process - and made it up to the top. Once there she began celebrating, only to have an exasperated Kath boot her in the tail feathers. I don't think that was enough to send her flying upwards, I think she's just SO MUCH bigger than Kath in her Siren form it looked like she was in the air above her.DilyV wrote:I guess I was wrong... the past few days of panels have been quite confusing as to exactly how atsali fell below Kath, how she got back above Kath to swoop down and grab her before she splatted on the bottom of the abyss, how far Kath had fallen before Atsali morphed and grabbed her, what the heck she was doing in those two panels where it looked like she was yelling then celebrating only to be flying upwards in the third panel...

It must somehow be tied in with her morphing ability and her amazing recuperative powers. Otherwise, after all of the impact trauma, a dislocated shoulder, and a swift kick in the tail, she'd be too sore to soar.eee wrote:What's rather impressing me right now is she's able to hover. Hummingbirds and bees can do that, but only by flapping their wings almost too fast to be seen. And to judge from the way she's holding Kath, she's doing this with her hips twisted to the side even as her chest is facing either towards or away from the wall of the crater...
Don't forget, Kestrels can hover too. Being a falcon they are the only bird of prey that can hover. It is theorized that they evolved in fields with few trees to perch on, hovering was there way of perching without a tree or pole. They don't flap their wings as fast as a hummingbird, but they use them well.eee wrote:What's rather impressing me right now is she's able to hover.
