Won't matter! [ He shouts back at her as he heads inside.
It takes him a considerable amount of time and effort to hobble all the way up to the attic. Hopefully Lux doesn't think he ditched her. Getting out of the window is an ordeal in and of itself (why didn't he consider how difficult this would be with all of these extra parts?), but eventually Akira shimmies free and touches feet on the roof. His balance falters on the slanted surface, but he regains it and straightens.
Whatever Lux is doing down there, be it already flying or staring at him, he's too focused on measuring the drop and the distance he needs to jump with calculating glances to take any real notice. Once he's confident he can get it, Akira takes one, two, three steps backwards with a deep breath, and then bounds into a jump.
For a split second, he starts to drop, but every bit of him is zeroed in on his wings. They spread and flap and suddenly he's caught and buoyed in the air. ]
