It takes some time, but eventually Mirage stops buying his head in nuzzling at Oracle's neck and actually begins to take in this unique view of his city. Admittedly, it isn't the whole city, and some creative license has been taken with placement of some areas, but it is still Iacon.
"So amazing...I have never desired a winged alt mode, but I think I must confess to a touch of envy now. Such a viewing....it puts things in perspective, does it not?"
Mirage seems perfectly at ease in Oracle's arms now, as if being carried about in classic Damsel in Distress pose is perfectly normal. He glances up at her, a wicked glint in his optics. He nuzzles at her neck again, then tries to gently nip his way along her jawline.

As soon as Mirage does actually start looking instead of attempting to become one with her plating, Oracle changes her flightpath slightly to take them over some of the more interesting bits of the city she noticed earlier. There was no reason to do so before, but since she doesn't know if he'll ever get a chance like this again she might as well try and show him the best parts she can of this city of his memories. She wonders absently how it compared to the real thing.
"It puts things into perspective sometimes, but at the same time if you aren't careful the distance can make things seem very remote too. It's very easy to forget that one is still a part of the ebb and flow down there, when you're lofted above after all." And that wasn't a blindness she saw only in fliers either. Oracle would find it a bit funny if it wasn't also sad. "I don't know about envy though, would you really want to give up racing for this?"
Though the idea of him with wings is a bit distracting, so when Mirage nips at her jawline Oracle gives him a startled look. After a short pause she tightens her grip a bit as she gives him an amused grin. "You're lucky there's nothing this high up for me to crash into." If he's feeling playful she might not need the extra thing to focus on, since she never knows what to expect from him.

Mirage continues to nuzzle at her jaw and neck, "I trust you. Really, I can't be that much of a distraction, now, can I? Not for one who keeps herself so shielded?"
He presses a quick kiss to her cheek, "But no, I would not give up my build or function. I am too fond of it, and too wary of change. I prefer the familiar."

Her amused look turning slightly wry, Oracle tips her head slightly to give him a better angle while she turns the first three words he said around in her mind. Does he really? He was still instinctively afraid when she dove, and even once they were aloft, to spite knowing she couldn't harm him here. So perhaps the safeties of the sim room weren't the point? That was an interesting thought and maybe...he really did trust her? At least in this.
She had a lot to think about later now, but she was doing her companion a disservice not focusing on him. Ironic, considering the rejoinder she was about to make. "I suspect you underestimate how much of a distraction you can be, both when you try and when you don't. You seem to have a talent for bypassing defenses." In more ways than one. She was still somewhat trying to figure out how he'd managed it.
The kiss prompted a small twitch of her lips and another glance at him as she spiraled through a thermal to take them a bit higher into the air. "That's really not shocking. Those from Skyblast's reality seem to be the only ones that switch around from build to build and ground to air with no qualms. But if I could do it so easily, I suppose I might have the same outlook." She still remembered the conversation that occurred around that whole mess at the Autobrand party.

Mirage chuckles as he rests his head on her shoulder. He is becoming more comfortable the longer they fly.
"Again, it is my function. It isn't all sneaking about in sewers and impersonating dignitaries, love."
He sighs fondly at she mentions Skyblast. "I need to arrange something special for him," Mirage muses aloud, "He is such a darling."
"But I do envy that quick change ability of his. So many possibilities...," he trails off, once more watching the city below.

Having Mirage get comfortable relaxes a little coil of tension in Oracle as well, though of course she can hardly relax too much, lest they fall out of the sky or something similarly unpleasant. Still she's quite glad he's enjoying himself and she settles into a flight pattern that shouldn't take them over the same spots so that it gets boring for him.
"I wouldn't know. I don't see or think about the social aspects of what a Spy might do very often." The very obvious aside. "Though, I suppose it isn't surprising." The sigh at the mention of Skyblast gets a slightly amused twitch of her lips in response. "I'm sure he'll enjoy whatever you come up with. You appear to be good at conjuring up impressive displays." And attending to small details as well, things she doubted she would have ever thought of.
Her only reaction to the mention of there being possibilities in having a quick change ability is the faintest of shrugs. As far as Oracle knows it isn't possible to reconfigure those not of that reality to that ability, so she doesn't really think about it very often outside of being wary of it in a battle or infiltration context. And as they both watch the city passing below and the quiet stretches out, she finds herself loathe to break the silence, content to fly with just the sound of her engines around them until Mirage tires of being carried about through the sky.
Fade to black.
