FIREFLY
Firefly screams in like a shooting star, a flickering ball of yellow light in the distance that just seems to go from the horizon to here instantly with a hiss and crack as the lightning bolt seesm to explode on the balcony in a sparking blast of air and dark clouds, the dispersion of which reveal Firefly shaking her wings off a bit.
VIRGA
That poor balcony again suffered somepony smashing into it. It that continued, Celestia would have to enact a defensive measure, as it was breach in security. Virga stayed on the blankets he was given, none too keen to the idea of moving so soon with his wings disabled. The crash at the balcony might have startled him if he had been asleep, but Virga was not a pony with a guilty conscience and thus loud noises didn't startle him so easily. He raised his head from the pillow and stared at the balcony, the pony, and the newly created mess. Celestia was not currently available for comment, though the guards all ready took an interest in the new visitor. As for Virga? He said nothing and only watched her, his broken wings splayed out and bound ever since the Doctor's treatment.
FIREFLY
Firefly finishes sweeping the clouds away, then takes notice of the Guards, waving a wing slightly to send them back to their posts as she entered the chamber. They knew quite well who she was, as if her usual entrance didn't remind them. It might also account for why there were no pegasi in pursuit of her and no call to arms. She tucks her wings in and stops, fully inside now, not yet aware of the downed flier yet. "Princess Celestia?" she calls in a normal tone, looking around a bit, then lifting an ear at the silence. She extends her wings and starts to turn around, seeing that the royal occupant was absent.
VIRGA
Virga's ears raised when the new flyer called for Celestia. So, she was a Princess? This wasn't made clear upon their meeting, though it did explain the lavishness of the establishment. Celestia was not a name he had heard before, nor this kingdom if her status as a princess was indeed true. "She is not present at this time," he said with a voice like silk.
FIREFLY
Firefly comes to a stop. She does nothing but stand there a moment, then flicks one ear. "I do not know your voice. The Guard are on station, proper, so you are not an intruder." then the storm pegasus turns around towards the sound of your voice, looking quietly. "I also do not recognize you." walking closer. "I am Firefly, Royal Squire to the Princess. To whom am I addressing?" she asks, stopping and just...staring quietly.
VIRGA
Virga didn't move; there wasn't much he could do about moving with his wings in such a shape. They refused to lift, and he couldn't move them after the treatment. That didn't stop him from holding a conversation or moving other parts of his body. Apparently, this creature that spoke to him was a familiar of the Royals to not be approached in similar manner to himself the night before. She was...smaller than the Princess. "I am Virga," he answered.
FIREFLY
Firefly lifts an eyebrow at this. "I must assume you are are of the Canterlot weather team then?" tilting her head slightly, then giving a very light smile. "I had heard the teams here were very competitive, but this...is not what I would have expected to find...nor is this where I would expect to find one of the team fliers." laying down to speak easier and not make you have to look up much at all. "What...did this?"
VIRGA
Canterlot? He was in Canterlot? He had only heard of it on a map as far as he remembered, and didn't second thought about. Weather teams? He never heard of such things. "I am not aware of what has crippled me," he said. "I crashed on the balcony, and that is all I remember after awakening mid-fall."
FIREFLY
Firefly blinks and lifts an eyebrow. "Forgive me if I give a slight smile..I mean no disrespect to your current condition, as it is unfortunate and looks to be painful...but your name...and this....conflict in a slightly humorous way." taking a closer look. "At least you were lucky enough to land where medical aid was immediate. There are none finer than those serving here in the Palace."
VIRGA
Virga ever-slightly tilted his head to her comment. What did she mean by it being humorous? Perhaps it was some local in-joke, that a pony had an unfortunate, but lighthearted accident...or something such. Lucky to land, she said. He was lucky to have even awoken before smashing into the ground. He did not blame her for that, however. She couldn't know. His eyes eased their tension as he silently regarded her. "As I have experienced," he said. "My wings are currently useless. I cannot move or feel them. The bones and struture are shattered."
FIREFLY
Firefly winces visibly. "Indeed a painful thing to suffer." angling an ear slightly. "What I meant," judging from the look she got. "Your name is Virga. This is a weather term known my most all weather ponies. It is precipitation that falls from the clouds...and evaporates before reaching the ground." smiling slightly, looking aside. "You...reached the ground. Sort of."
VIRGA
"It is the only thing I remember," he said. "I cannot tell you from where I came, or my occupation. Quite simply, I came from the night sky and that is all I can say.' He lay his head on the pillow, his silver eyes gazing at her. "I awoke with seconds to react to the fall. My wings were previously ill fit for flight."
FIREFLY
Firefly frowns at this news. "This is not a good thing at all." she says, thinking. "One, you are injured by something unknown, and two, this unknown did so over Canterlot, meaning it could be a flying threat." she looks to one of the Guards. "You there, immediately notify the Royal Flying Guard to be extra alert for a potential flying danger in the skies. I shall notify the Princess myself." looking back to you for a moment. "I must tend to this as soon as possible." then cups her ears and gets up. "The report shall have to wait." then leaps into the air, looping over in place practically and with one sweep of her wings is out the window, where she rolls a 90 and dives out of sight.
VIRGA
Was it sincerely this urgent? The thing that did the damage to his wings was entirely unknown, and he couldn't recall any details. In the full course of the day, no sightings had been reported in regard to any flying hazards. He silently watched Firefly in her leave and once again lay alone in the Princess's bedroom. He closed his eyes and sighed. They may be concerned on what injured him, but he wasn't. It was gone, whatever it was, and it left him in a strange land.
