She halts her climb, judges his position, and DIVES. She folds her wings almost entirely against her body, like a missile, the wind screaming past her ears.
She would never make CONTACT with him at this speed, would need to bleed off momentum, but it serves to get her close in a hurry.
And he changes direction once she starts her dive, of course he does. Her mate is a clever one, not so easily caught! She should not be able to do what she does next, the wings of this shape should not allow it, but she cheats. She funnels Karma into her wings, changes their shape, their structure, their joints, just ENOUGH that she can turn far tighter than usual, that her momentum slingshots her in the CORRECT direction.
Her wings shift back to normal as she closes in on him.
