Yes, I found a whole book about making them in the library. Thought I'd use it to pass the time.

[ he lifts it up ]

They're mostly just for a bit of fun. I like constructing them, seeing which ones I can land in that pot over there. [ he points across the office towards the window that makes a pretty decent target, and the potted plant with approximately two planes in it. ] Want to try?

[allomantic]

I see. It is like... [taking a moment to remember the words] Mechanics or engineering, but with paper instead?

[there's a pause, before she nods.]

I guess just once could not hurt.

[decisions]

Very similar, yes, certain folds will allow the plane to fly just a little further or faster, it's all about experimenting and finding the shapes that catch the air best.

[ he reaches for one of the hopelessly jammed printers and pulls out the try to grab some paper for her, setting some sheets down in front of her. ]

Here... I'll show you one that flies rather nicely.

[ he'll wait for her before starting to fold step by step ]

[she watches carefully, and as she does:]

Do you do this sort of thing very often, then?

[decisions]

Mmm, not as much anymore. A bit too busy, but... when my sister was young, she rather liked this sort of thing. Sending things flying into the air. I'd work on little paper gliders with her from time to time if it meant she was learning here and there.

[ a chuckle ] It combined both our interests. Engineering and the desire to make things that inevitably crashed into walls and could be used as projectiles for our other brothers and sisters.

[allomantic]

I see... The two of you must be close.

[watching curiously as she says that.]

[decisions]

We were very close, likely because we were both trapped in the middle of our other siblings. We couldn't have been more different.

How many did you have in total?
