Here's a little aspect of Auron physiology that's going to make the guard's jump from an incredibly-high-off-of-the-ground-building's window a lot less suicidal; Aurons can modify their body weight at will. Of course, most people won't be able to do much other than five or ten kilos in either direction. And making themselves heavier is a lot easier. But some people can be pretty skilled at this; and if it isn't the royal guard, then who else?
Floaters are what people call someone who can jump off a perch and drift to the ground. They're relatively rare though, for several reasons; one, the person needs to be born with a certain degree of natural talent; and two, they need buttloads of training to get anywhere near throwing themselves off buildings and constantly readjusting their weight to combat the buffetting winds. It takes a lot of concentration and good breeding, and few people other than most royal guards can do it. If someone plans on going after me with physics on this one, I'll have you know I love physics. This is air resistance and winds, they're on a planet with an atmosphere. I know perfectly well that on the moon, a hammer and a feather will fall at the same rate. But air is matter, and boy does it matter. |
