There were so many places he could think of to take Cian first: Niagra Falls, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Smoky Mountains, Iguazu Falls, Torres del Paine, the Galapagos, the Everglades, the Atacama Desert...! So many places just on the East side of the Americas! Waterfalls, glaciers, mountains, deserts, where to even begin? It has to be something larger than life that will take Cian's breath away.

He had hours to decide, and chose something he hoped would awe and astound the seemingly sheltered creature he carried. When the hours passed, they flew over cities and mountains, Gaja veered southward to the Argentine Patagonia. They remained high enough that they'd go unnoticed by any of the people so far below until the air grew colder and Gaja began his descent bringing them to the Perito Moreno Glacier.

The air around them grew so cold and snow started to appear around them. Perking up, he gasped when he saw the glacier, patting Gaja to show him it as if the bird hadn't brought him here. But it was so beautiful that he couldn't resist show it to him anyway. He'd never seen anything like this before!

"...beautiful," he murmured in utter awe.

Gaja himself wasn't terribly fond of cold, but his body also ran hot so it wasn't that much of a bother. And, well, his body heat could help warm Cian, too. Yet this was no colder than a mild winter day, so it wasn't such a dreadful thing. Even if the cold was bothersome, it was worth it to show this precious creature something new and beautiful.

If he could have smiled, he would have been grinning from ear-to-ear at Cian's enthusiasm.

"Do you want to get closer?"

He'll land and shift into a human shape if Cian wanted a closer look.
