Felix grumbles, but he's really running out of arguments, here.
As it turns out, he was right: he doesn't like flying. But this is the sacrifice he's willing to make for Annette, so he grits his teeth and soldiers on. At least Claude makes it easy to do his best--learning from a master is always the best way to learn anything. He doesn't think Arbiter likes him much, but it's possible this bird just has resting murder face and Felix is reading too much into it. Maybe.
He runs out of patience before too long, though, and soon enough they're warping back to Cherrygrove and flying the rest of the way to New Bark Town. This, he thinks, must be the same journey Sylvain made when he came to pick Felix up. Somehow, it simultaneously feels like it was years ago and yesterday. An awful lot has happened since then, but sometimes Felix still wakes up before dawn expecting to be huddled under a tent in an army encampment.
For this shorter trip, he opts to fly with Claude and Blitz--which is still unpleasant, but made much more palatable by the fact that he gets to basically hold Claude close the whole way there. It doesn't occur to him until they're already touching down near the place where he'd agreed to meet Annette that she might be able to see that from the ground...oh well. It's not like she won't find out about the polycule soon enough anyway.

Still embarrassing, though.
