He walked to the two newcomers, waited a few seconds, hoping he wasn't interrupting their conversation, then said, "Not in line? But m'am, have you ever ridden a flying carpet? This is a rare chance. I advise you take it as much as you can. Nothing will happen to you at all, I promise. It seems daunting at first, I know. But just imagine that wind flowing past you, the rush, the feeling. " Oh yeah, Achilles was trying to sweeten up his talk as much as he could. "Give it a try. 'Sides if it doesn't work out you could tell your friends that at the very least you've ridden a flying carpet. And what have they done to amount to a thrill like that?"

It may be a controlled environment but still his words were all true. He then turned to the man, and, even giving the coordinator, who was a few feet away, a salute, said "Sir, why don't you grab a carpet yourself? Give it a run." He had nothing to lose. Achilles would just be supervising the activity.

She had heard about her ancestors going sightseeing on them, but she had never seen one.

She nodded back at the man, who at least had the decency to thank her. But then he questioned her decision. She bristled slightly, eyeing him to make sure that he wasn't making fun of her. After a solid minute of semi-dangerous glaring, she deemed it okay to answer. "I prefer to not risk my life in something as inconsequential as trying out a flying carpet. And no, not personally, but I'm sure someone has gotten injured. And I don't want someone to be me." She finished in her posh potpourri of British and Bengali accents. She switched which arm was crossed over which.

And someone was trying to make her leave her safety of being on the ground. "No, no thank you. I'll just watch."

Heh heh. William let out a soft chuckle as the guy facilitating this carpet thing, or so he assumed, approached them. What a silver tongue! "I will HAPPILY test one of these carpets," he replied to the guy with a small nod, walking over and selecting a blueish-purple one with gold detailing. This was faaaaaaancy. So animated, too. Much better than a boring and dull broom, if you asked him.

He looked back to the lady he had passed. The one who was VERY anti-danger and thus anti-carpets. "Are you sure?" he called out to her his a charming and good-natured grin. She had a pretty ~~face~~ accent.... might not be a bad person to ride carpets with? If only she weren't so stiff? "YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!" Willy added, and with that, he hopped on his carpet and took off.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

He wasn't up that high but he DID feel like he was going pretty fast. AND he didn't have to put forth as much effort as he did with a broom or a dragon. Fabulous.
