Thursday Free As A Butterfly

100 words on freedom, starting .....now.

A.N.: Just Victor explaining here why he decided to make a riding butterfly (to Marty, if you're curious). Alice threatening to cry may be a little OOC, but she's a) mostly teasing and b) knows Victor hates making people upset, and that goes quadruple for her. Also she really doesn't want him hurting himself.

Prompt: Freedom

So, Victor – riding butterfly?”
“All my life, I’ve wanted to be like a butterfly. Be able to flit from place to place as I please, without a care or worry.”
“Yeah, but – if you want to fly, there’s always the train.”
“I know, and I thank you, but – it’s not quite the same, you know? With a riding butterfly, I’ll really be able to live out my dream. To feel truly free.”
“Okay, but why not just give yourself butterfly wings?”
“Alice has forbidden me from experimenting on myself.”
“Threaten you with her Vorpal Blade?”
“Worse – she threatened to cry.”
