Ibani has to repress the urge to take his hand as she feels his discomfort and disorientation. But for his sake and for hers she must appear detached, indifferent.
The merciful thing about travel by air taxi is that it is swift. The awful part is that it is much, much faster than Garyn's likely used to going. Kaas City passes under the taxi as it flies through the air, ribbons of light forming as their speed blurs individual lights into a continuous thread. That might be a plus, as it makes it harder to tell just how little is under them and how very far away it is.
As they approach the edge of the city, there is green in the distance. The green of jungles and growing things. By the time the air-taxi lands, what spreads out before them is mercifully flat and lacking in towers. There are a few metal warehouses, a metal bridge, and beyond that there is nothing at all visible to the eye but jungle and rock cliffs where a road has been cut through the wilderness.
