long road to ruin
He's spent the entire day trying to find a way out of the barrier cast high up in the sky. Shoulders slightly bruised and a few errant feathers trailing behind him, Ishiah makes his way back to the ground carefully, skimming over the largely deserted fields off to the side of the city before circling to the ground, feet running lightly down the dirt path. As far as he can tell, the absolute limits of the barrier can't be reached by someone of his abilities, his brain turning away from conscious thought every time he tries.
Somehow, that's the most unsettling part.
When he reaches a block away from his apartment, Ishiah pauses at the street corner, peeking next down in the direction of Robin's flat instead. Even though he knows that Robin's due to remain at Semele's for another couple of hours, still he changes course, walking at a clipped pace all the way until he reaches Robin's apartment, neatly sliding his key and stepping inside.
Seating himself carefully down on Robin's couch, Ishiah rests his head in his hands for a few minutes, fingers massaging neat circles over his temples.
He falls asleep shortly thereafter, crouched over with his elbows resting on his knees.
