Not on my person. I fly with a staff. But while propulsion is different, flying itself is much the same.

Sure, you can use magic to force yourself to go against the wind, like beating your wings more, but if you can feel where the wind is, it's easier to fly faster, do more with your flight, and using other spells with a staff effectively. Try to port in a gorenado and you're likely to end up slamming into a rock as much as open air.

Do you remember if that's a common method of transport where you're from?

Staves, yes.

Porting, no. Porting involves turning your body into energy that still has a semi-physical presence. Which can get you through things. It can also get you trapped in things. It's a complicated bit of magic, so you don't want to use it unless you have clear end points or great reaction time.

So porting can be more convenient in some ways at the cost of time and energy learning how to do it.

It is a lot faster. And with it comes better spatial understanding. Reactions time. And it makes you very hard to counter in a fight, especially when most favor distant spells.

Is that what you learned to do?

[They're starting to give up on catching up, gliding almost lazily along.]

Its what I know how to do.

So you don't remember learning it, specifically?

[He gives a flat look at the question.]

[He hasn't been here that long.]

[Catching that look and raising their brows.]

I don't actually go out of my way to find you when you take memories, you know. The ones I've seen so far are all coincidence.

I also haven't been here that long.

If memories are returned to us seemingly at random, there's always a chance you could have received it.

[They've reached the ceiling, and they drift up until they can tap it with their fingers.]

If I'm not certain about something I'd like to know, it's easier to ask until I have a concrete answer. Do you dislike that?
