If that matters to you, [aerodynamicity - the fact that Carrie stumbled over it makes her think that she might not be right in the correction she assumes] I will make up for it with a target.

[Shamash flies into view over her shoulder as she straightens back up to take Carrie with her. For all that he's her partner, you don't actually see very much of him in this month-long situation where Jeanne is sad and lonely and has no one to turn to. Jeanne interlaces her fingers with Carrie's, does the hard part of walking backwards. In the moonlight, outside the shadow of the shed, her long hair glitters.]

It is very common for a shaman to close her eyes, starve herself for an entire week, and trick her body into thinking it has died. Learning that we could slip away at any moment brings our hearts closer to those who already had.

[They're close enough now that Jeanne can be heard even in a whisper, which is what's easier after her fast. She's so happy that Carrie feels her feelings, something stronger than whatever sweetness lingers in the apple.]

A shaman with a spirit does not need wings to fly.
