Pippy would’ve hugged them even tighter if she possibly could or booped Heart’s head when they chirped but Pippy with her attention on climbing onto Heart's back so sadly she doesn't do either for now. She is happy how happy her larger friend was happy even if she doesn’t believe she has done much, although hugs and nuzzles are a pleasant thing to be given.

Hesitant she is, worried she will hurt them by accident while climbing which makes her gave them a more expressive apologetic expression, filled with worry and concern for them each time when Pippy believes her grip on them is too rough to check if they were OK, she was trying her best to climb delicately, like she was carefully climbing something filled with mines. With not much indication Heart got hurt allowed her to relax while she scaled as they did an excellent job at hiding when they did possibly did have some physical pain, guilt is still getting to her though to how she probably did end up hurting her friend.

“A-Are you sure Heart…?” she had to ask, voice still muffled. The cockatiel was so nice to her it touches her truly, it’s a little strange for one like her or odder how one is so nice to her in particular. “Well… If you say so,” still since they have been nothing but nice to her Pippy allowed herself to believe their words to some extent.

Pippy held on tighter when everything was moving like she was on a moving sidewalk, mentally preparing herself and thoughts on what to do on whether she should open her eyes or not. How high they both are will be scary, but Pippy recalls how when she fell and hurt herself from a tall building because she had her eyes closed and wasn’t expecting it, it worries her on possibly getting scared about falling with her eyes closed. Still… Maybe as long as she keeps her mind on how she is getting carried safely to her home by her much larger friend she won’t need to concern herself with any fears about believing she is falling when her eyes are closed.

Her heart dropped as she got a falling sensation, an updraft brushing her coat with its feather touch and her hold around Heart got even tighter and she buried her face deeper into their feathers, preferring to keep her eyes shut. This falling sensation was soon gone briefly before it came back again, like a scary roller coaster and how each time this falling sensation happened her lower torso got lifted up a little which scared her into believing she’s losing her grip which made her hold onto Heart for dear life.

No… It’s fine, your friend is right here with you they won’t let you get hurt or fall you are still with them and safe; panic if you get separated, if not everything is fine…

Besides it’s kinda fun when everything is spinning; yes, focus on spinning!

It all came to a stop as all movements vanished after Heart movements jerked to a stop like they managed to avoid bumping into something, no more falling or spinning or fear about losing her grip which is a good sign but she does not open her eyes yet not until Heart gives her a signal on things being safe now.

OK... wasn't as bad as her wild imagination was thinking, it was a little scary when they glided down, but she was expecting it was going to scare her so much she’d scream in pure terror and need to stop herself from flying away herself. She is thankful how considerate Heart is being with helping her. Although things all said and done nausea and dizziness is creeping up on Pippy which makes her curl up and groan a little.

“O-Oh…We are?” she opened her eyes and lifted her head without any hesitation her voice taking a brighter tone to it as she beamed at Heart. Glancing around her surroundings, to her it all indeed appeared familiar, even if she is a little bit dizzy and it didn’t take her too long to find where a specific tiny hole in this wall which is her den's location.

“Yup! That’s it right there Heart, my home! Thank you so much!” she tried as best she could to glomp them and give them more nuzzles with her cheek. She’ll better get inside her den soon but not quite yet as she should best wait for this dizziness to pass before climbing into her home.

The Gembound leaned into Pippy's touch, as glad as she was that the tiny bat hadn't fallen off. Even though she had wings, too, they figured that she would've been much too scared to glide to safety that high up off the ground. Although Pippy wasn't in the best position for them to return her hugs at the moment, the cockatiel still tried, turning her head and nuzzling the bat as she attempted to reach around with her wing.

"You're welcome!" they replied, beaming. "Anything for a friend, after all!"

@Pippy

Heart leaning into her touch brought some more comfort for Pippy, her sensation how she is entirely safe currently getting more prominent as if her much larger's friend's welcoming presence wasn't doing this for her already. Correct Heart was there about getting too scared about flying down herself despite being capable; she would've most likely glanced down while descending which would scare her so much to petrification and make her tiny body freeze up entirely so it would not have ended well for Pippy at all. Such thoughts made Pippy briefly shudder and hugged Heart a little bit tighter; she did even more so than possible she might be squishing them a bit if her tiny body was capable. When Heart returned all those hugs with a nuzzle it made Pippy's mind, heart and emotions melt like chocolate in a summers heat from her joy; Heart is the best~!

Pippy gave Heart a little hum and a nod as a response to their words; those hums filled with so much joy, and gratitude. She'll be getting back home soon when done with hugging Heart here which will be a while.
