[As much as Utsuho hated, hated this kind of weather--her wings were feeling cramped. Way, waaaay too cramped. And flying aimless circles around the gymnasium wasn't really cutting it any more.
So she had ventured outside! On a clear day, for...relatively short forays, just around the main campus and back, rather than the grounds themselves. Her wing feathers were fluffed out as much as possible while still maintaining any kind of flight surface, and there was occasionally a reddish glow from beneath the feathers on her forewings. There seemed to be an even smaller heat distortion around them when she did that, and her breath puffed out almost smokelike.
Each time Okuu made a circuit she started ending it sooner and sooner to rest and crowd a heat vent indoors. A door here and there and hopefully there was no one behind them before Okuu tried barging into the common buildings again.]
Open!
