Luckily Esteban's exuberance had his wings take the brunt of it.
Unluckily, their fall is a lot clumsier than Esteban expected.
Well, to be fair, he didn't expect to fall, that wasn't in the plans, but he'd also thought Allen would be a bit sturdier than that! He'd rub it a bit in his friend's face it they weren't already a tangle of limbs and wings and a yelp and someone's elbow digging in his ribs (probably his own, but he's not absolutely sure). There's a slow blink as Esteban tries to put as much distance as he can between them, before words skip merrily out of his lungs without enough of a thought.
"Is it a bad time t' tell you y've got gorgeous eyes?" because that wasn't awkward enough yet.
There's a half-swift attempt at fixing things that immediately makes them worse, as he shifts and leans all of his weight onto a bone that immediately flares with protest.
"Ah!-- Pinned! Pinned! Shit-- hang on--" He shuffles, trying to lean away, but his wings have cocooned them into a pretty tight hug, and they don't really have the space to move well.
Smart.
How Esteban has managed to tangle himself into his own limbs is an embarrassment he might not be able to live down. Even though the snickers mixed in with the winces are anything but reassurance.
"Sorry-- just--" He's not really helping his case.
"Dead Guardians in a ditch--" there's laughter in his lungs, and Esteban finally, finally manages to prop them off one wing enough that he can push and roll them both off the cocoon of warmth and leather. "Got it!"
They're free!~ Free at last, and Esteban is quick to pull back his wings with a grin, sitting cross-legged beaming and bubbly even through the awkwardness of nearly flattening Allen in the last few minutes. There's cheekiness in his grin as his tail twists to fan over his feet, hands tugging at his ankles while the damnable wings flare and curl back against his spine. And there's still laughter in his lungs.
"Wow~ Don't think I've gotten that tangled up since I was a Jagged Wing."
That's... That's one way to share in his secret with a friend, he guesses.
