[Cliff just laughed as the wind rushed past them in their descent, clearly not near as traumatized by Saizo's wrath as his flight would have attested. This was old hat for him, like the many other misadventures he's had out in the field. A landing from thirty feet in the air?
It was nothing for a Klausian.
He braced for landing as well, but took the brunt of it himself. It was basic physics. Instead of fighting against the combined forces of kinetic motion and gravity, Cliff rolled with them. Literally. Spring board landing launched into a roll over his shoulder, keeping Souji as safe as he could manage. It wasn't perfect, but he knew there'd be no broken bones from the encounter.
They rolled to a stop and Cliff flopped over in the grass, head whirling from the momentum. That was.....
He burst out laughing like a rowdy kid, thoroughly enjoying the craziness that this encounter had devolved into.]
