One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

"Wow..." Zach replied.

"That's so cool." he said.

When the time came, they boarded the flight, waited, and it then took off. During the flight, Zach and Rylie had been seated next to each other, and he had discovered that first class was, indeed, all that he'd thought it was.

And he loved it.

But about several hours into the flight, he suddenly turned towards Rylie.

"Um..." he mumbled.

"I'm sorry if this is rude, but... your head." he then said, pausing for a moment.

"Is that... um... did something happen to you to make it the way it is?" he asked her, somewhat awkwardly.

Rylie just laughed as Zach seemed to stumble a bit over his words.

"Nahhhh." She said.

"It's not rude, no worries. And no. Nothing happened." She answered.

"Have you ever heard of a dullahan?" she asked, her voice curious.

Zach was silent for a moment.

"....uh.... I think so." he said.

"Maybe...?" he muttered.

"I mean, aren't they like... the headless horseman?" he asked her.

"Except... like... a knight?" he the asked, clearly unsure of himself.

"Eh, I guess that's one way to look at it." Rylie commented.

"We're more akin to reapers, though." She then said. "And yes, we. I'm a dullahan. A type of fairy in Irish Mythology."

"I can give you a book of information on them when we get to the Unit." She added. "If you wish to learn about what we are."

"And yes, I'm the odd one. Most of us aren't quite like this." She added after a moment with a light laugh.

"....huh." Zach muttered.

"I see." he said.

"That... sounds fascinating, actually." he told her.

"And sure. That might be nice to read." he then said further.

"And... you're the odd one out?" he asked her.

"Quite like what? What do you mean by that?"

"I keep my head attached, first off." Rylie started before chuckling lightly, "And I'm the only one that I know of that left Ireland... actually, that left Europe - because I've seen others travel within that area."

"And yeah, the Unit actually has a smallish, but rather packed, library area for those that are stuck there who wish to educate themselves on things. Or even for those who need to do some research for what they need to do."

"....huh. I see." Zach replied.

"So... um... hm." he then muttered.

"When we land, how are we getting back to where you work?" he asked.

"Another bike, or some other way?" he asked further.

"Or does your boss arrange something?"

"Sharp should have it that there's a ride waiting for us." Rylie answered.

"Although if not - since I realise there's a chance that he won't because of one reason or another - then yeah. It'll be a bike, or I'd call someone to come grab us." She added with a light shrug.

"It won't be an issue either way." She then said before pausing a moment.

"Wait, we've got wifi on this flight." She commented with a snap of her fingers before pulling her phone out of her pocket and typing up an email. It was short and simple, explaining that she was on the flight with Zachary, when they were expected to arrive, and other relevant information. She sent it to her boss, so that he he was aware of what was going on.

Zach just smiled slightly as Rylie said all she did, and then sent the email.

About 5 minutes later, she received a response.

Thank you for the update. I will have transportation waiting for the both of you when you land. As it stands, I will have a limo cab waiting, but if you would prefer something else, let me know. it read.

Meanwhile, Zach was looking out the window, smiling once more and looking at the tiny scenery below him.

Rylie just chuckled.

Sounds good. Let's blow the kids brain more. He nearly shat himself with finding out what I am, and the .... quality of the flight. She replied with before putting her phone back in her pocket.

"So, while we're in the air... is there anything else you'd like to ask ?" She asked, her tone curious.

"I'll answer all I can."

Sharp had read the email sent back, and laughed to himself.

"That's our Rylie, all right." he said, shaking his head and smiling.

Meanwhile, Zach thought for a moment when Rylie asked her question.

"...um... you said you're akin to a reaper." he said.

"Do.. does that mean you actually collect souls?" he asked her.

"And if so, what souls do you collect?"

Rylie shook her head.

"Nahhhhh I don't." She told him.

"Well, I don't. Others, if there are any? I don't even know, can. And we can cause the death of people too if we so desire it, really." She added after a moment.

"Which is definitely something that is rather handy, sometimes. I won't get into details, but yeah, it's been handy a couple of times in the time that I've been working where I am." She added after a few seconds.

Zach became silent once more.

"I... I see." he said.

"Well... that's... good... I guess...?" he said further, clearly unsure of himself.

"Um... so... how did... you come to work for where you do?" he then asked.

"I mean, why do you work for this Sharp, and how did you come to do it?" he clarified.

"A reaper is... a... unique person to get a job somewhere."

"Technically I'm a fairy." Rylie corrected him.

"And how'd I get the job? Ehhhh, mutual acquaintance." She answered honestly.

"And I do mean that seriously. I had run into troubles, the Unit sent a friend out to find out what was going on.... and thanks to him helping me out I ended up hired by the same employer."

"Right, a fairy." Zach responded.

"Sorry if that was insensitive." he apologized.

"But... that's a good story." he then said.

"Kind of a feel-good story, I suppose." he continued.

"I'm glad things worked out for you, you seem really nice." he told her further.

"...so... what should I expect at this 'Unit'?" he then inquired.

Rylie just laughed.

"Nah, not insensitive. The reapers are pretty chill - at least the few that I've met." She told him honestly.

"And yeah. Rekindled a friendship, got a place to live, got a job... can't complain." She added.

"And what to expect? Well...." she paused before sighing.

"Imagine what you DO expect of a place like what you mayt thing is there." She told him.

"Then shove all that out the window."

Zach blinked a couple of times.

"Uh... all right." he said.

"That's... hm." he mumbled, thinking about it.

"I have no more questions right now." he told her.

"I might fall asleep during the fight, however." he went on.

"Flying makes me drowsy." he then admitted.

"Good idea. Get some sleep. We'll be landing late morning in San Diego, so you'll have a decent sleep schedule with that." Rylie told him honestly.

"So yeah, get some sleep. I'll wake ya when we're getting close." She added with a light chuckle.

Zach nodded when Rylie said what she did.

"All right." he said.

"Thank you." he said further.

With that, he got comfortable, and within the next hour, Rylie saw him drift off to sleep, only waking up briefly when they were served a meal. But he went back to sleep almost right after.

The time had passed, and when they had landed, Rylie woke him up. They exited the plane, gathered their things, and when they made their way outside the airport, they saw someone standing by a rather lavish limo-style cab, with Rylie and Zach's names on a sign they were holding.

"...for... for us?" he asked Rylie, seemingly stunned by the quality of the ride.

Rylie just smirked.

"Yep.' She answered before waving.

"Come on, let's get going." She added before approaching.

"Hey there Jeff." She said. "How're things at home, calmed down from your sister?" She asked as she neared.
