"If you're saying you need magic to pass through, then we might have a problem. If not, then I see no problem. I was able to use the QA portals, and it was magic that got me... nevermind. We'll have time for that later. And I'd rather start from somewhere that is definitely the correct set of tracks."
Nabarl strode forward, looked around, took a breath, and took the final step, hoping the column would indeed work.

Lexi watched as Nabarl disappeared into the column, and let out a sigh of relief. At least something was going right. She looked around. A shadowy figure on platform eight looked directly at her and tilted its head. Lexi bowed hers slightly in response and took a step towards the column. The platform guard still hadn't seen them and now he never would. Lexi disappeared into the bricks.

Nabarl emerged onto an empty platform. The place looked a lot more rural than the place they had just left. There was one track, and it ran in one direction.
"Well, that makes things much simpler..." He said to himself.
He set about removing his boots when Lexi appeared.

Lexi looked around. There was no train and no people, save for Nabarl and herself. They were completely alone. 'The perfect time' a little voice in her head whispered. 'The quest must be completed. They will know' 'You may not get another chance' she mentally hushed the voice and strode over to Nabarl. "What are you doing?"

"If I'm going to be carrying you, I don't think you'd want me wearing these. Unless you want to lose your arms..."
Nabarl stood up. He had one boot on, one off. Maybe a demonstration would work better than explaining.
"Stand back. And see if you can spot the difference between the talons."
He shifted.

Lexi was impressed at the sight of his shift, it was truly a spectacular thing to behold, and not what she had expected. She saw the difference immediately. 'That thing could rip you to shreds' said the voice, forever calm and logical 'better not get too close while it's like that' "One's metal, the other's not" Lexi said simply.

Nabarl shifted back, and set about removing his other boot.
"Not exactly easy to miss, but you see why I'm taking these off. Alright, it looks like it's getting late, so don't expect us to get too far. Unless you'd rather travel by night?"

"Hey, if I'm not navigating I don't care what time we travel" Lexi said with a shrug "If you tire quickly we don't have to travel far, but if you'd rather just keep going we can travel all night, it makes no difference to me."

"Suits me. I'll blend into the night better anyway. Should make it harder for anyone to spot. Like I said, I won't be able to talk until I shift back, but I can understand you fine. If you need to talk properly, tug on the feathers around my leg and I'll land. Just try not to pull any out."
Nabarl shifted again, took off, and steadied himself above Lexi. He grabbed her shoulders in his talons as hard as he dared, and set off, following the tracks.

Lexi grabbed hold of Nabarl's talons for dear life. She'd never been comfortable without her feet on solid ground. She even hated swimming. That's not to say she couldn't swim, but she felt more in control on land, where she was fast and silent and deadly. But as she watched the sun go down and the moon come up, Lexi decided Nabarl probably wouldn't drop her. She'd spent the day proving that he needed her. 'It's so peaceful up here' she thought, and for once the voice in her head agreed with her.
