Is trying to get on someone's back when they have wings a good idea? No. Does that stop Pax? Also no. Sneaking up slowly on Tony, the much smaller human being tries to jump onto the much larger human being, catapulted up a little further than normal thanks to the bouncy aid of the clouds.
Oh no. Tony tries to retract his massive wings but he hasn't quite gotten the hang of them yet. Luckily, he's quick to move on to Plan B and pivots before Pax can come crashing down. The extra bounce helps. He opens his arms wide, prepared to catch her against his broad chest. His brain doesn't catch up to his reflexes in time, unfortunately, and the mash of Holy shit! and Come to papa! comes out as, "Hooooly Papa!"
Pax definitely slams into Tony, but a mixture of his attempt to catch her and her attempt to wrap her limbs tightly around his form results in not the worst outcome. Not that falling into fluffy clouds would've been bad, but it's nice to achieve your goal. Grinning up at her friend from her strange, latched on position, Pax lets out a laugh that maybe comes out half like a cackle.
"Assumin' this is heaven," Tony replies, quicker with a comeback now that he is no longer scared about impaling Pax with his enormous wings. He grunts and hitches her up onto his hip, careful not to crush her own far more delicate wings. "Wouldn't put it past Pocket. Hey you."
"The Pope would be a real drag though, you know?" Pax doesn't actually know, but church figurehead doesn't really sound like a rip roaring good time in much of any situation. As Tony adjusts her like the infant she is, she shifts a bit to assist, content to continue clinging to him like a tree.
"Are you taking the time to have some fun, mister?"
Despite regularly attending Sunday school as a child, Tony can't count himself a Christian. Still, he feels the need to defend little old men who aren't around to defend themselves. "Aw, he seems nice enough," he shrugs, which is difficult with the added weight of his wings. "I like his funny hat."
It's hard to avoid eye contact with the barnacle on your side but Tony attempts it. He clears his throat and scans the beautiful expanse of pink sky. "Of course," he lies. A useless lie. He is bad at this. "Just gettin' myself situated, is all."
Pax rolls her head back a bit, both at the Pope defense and at the clear lying that's going on. "He's got a special car too, which is great, but I think he's like... contractually obligated to not condone underaged drinking and kissing in balloons." Not that Pax is really partaking of either one of these things, but everyone is having fun? So.
"It doesn't take that long to get situated, my man. How about we do a fun thing?"
"So's far as I know, there's nothin' against kissin' in the good book. 'Cept if you're kissin' on your neighbor's wife," Tony corrects. He's unsure about the underage drinking part but he is unwilling to find out. His conscience is very fragile.
He suspects this is about to turn into an adventure that he is not leading, so he sets Pax down gently amongst the clouds and resigns himself. "Alright, but I'm not really lookin' to kiss anyone in any balloons."
"I wouldn't know - no church in California." This is clearly false, but who cares?
Pax pouts a little as she's put down, even though it's a necessary step in getting her friend to unwind a bit. After a moment of contemplation, she reaches to take his hand, and starts to pull him along with her.
"There are way better things to do than that, anyway. But if you wanted to, I could arrange it for you. I could probably get at least half of the Senior girl population to agree to it. Just so you know."
