Summary
In Treviso, the coffee is strong, the stars are bright, and ziplines dot the rooftops. While familiar enough with the mechanism itself, Emmrich is less familiar, if at all, with the technique of using one. Typically, when he accompanies Rook to Treviso, they use the streets.
His companions do not hesitate; Lucanis expertly hops onto the line bare seconds after reaching it, and Emmrich watches him zip across. He lands catlike (Crowlike, perhaps?) on his feet, and then he’s standing at the edge of the adjacent rooftop tapping his foot. Rook throws her hands over her head, tiptoeing up to grab the handlebar as it flies. Emmrich watches her teeter on the edge with something like awe, and something else like dread.
“I’ll catch you,” Rook tells him with a wink, swinging herself to gain momentum. “Just don’t look down.”Rook, Emmrich has noticed, has trouble keeping her hands to herself--and he certainly has not asked her to. It all comes to a head on a Treviso rooftop, where their burgeoning relationship finds a new foothold under Antivan stars.
