[Video] Fly Like an... everything really

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Hey all!

[ It's Konoka again. This time though, you might notice something odd, namely it appears that the background scenery behind her is... upside down.

Or she's upside down, more like it. She's hanging by her knees on an apparent tree branch. A clue on why she's doing that might be visible from her new tall, bat-like ears. Konoka's got her hair wrapped up in a bun to avoid it being a curtain wherever she might be hanging around. ]

Just a quick question this time:

If you haven't had wings before you had a blessing, what is it like to fly?

Great! I'm learning to fly!

[ Konoka clenched her fist in victory... though given her fists were currently bat wings, it was more like clenching her wing and extending her thumb out. Same difference, right? ]

I need more practice! Can we do it again?

[getting_better]

Of course! Uhoo! This time I will be here on the ground, actually, we can make a game of it. I'll stand somewhere and you go on top and plan you glide path towards me.

[Bishop takes a look around the area, picks a spot, and starts walking though his head was bobbing up down and side to side as he did. Owl vision and all that.]

Ok, whenever you're ready.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Sure!

[ Konoka scampers back to the top, again pulling out her wings and getting a read for where he was. Once she spotted him, she took a moment to prepare herself before taking flight.

This one was... surprisingly smoother. He wasn't super out of the way, so it was a matter of a bit of turning and landing right next to him. ]

I'm getting it...!

[getting_better]

[She probably can't tell, hell no one can tell when he's a bird, but it brings a big smile to his face to see someone so excited to fly even if it's still just the basics. Reminds him of when he first started gliding.]

Good, good...

[He said softly as she came in and touched down.]

You certainly are! Very good!

[His wings open up and brings them forward and starts sort of clapping, though it sounds more like someone rustling feather dusters.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Konoka giggled at that. ]

Thanks for the encore!

[ She takes a moment to flap her wings. ]

I feel like I can actually try flying, but maybe I should practice more?

[getting_better]

[He tucks his wings back in, shaking quickly to straighten his feathers.]

Yeah. While you're making good progress, we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. For one...

[He raises a wing to gesture at the area.]

We don't have enough space to practice actual flying. It'll need to be much higher with more wind and a stable current. The former most especially since you're still human sized. I'll keep these platforms here so you can practice even when I'm not around. I need to find a suitable place for you to really spread your wings. Hoohoo!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Alright!

[ Maybe she'll just keep practicing gliding. She was already scrambling back up to go practice her gliding again. It would probably be like this for the rest of the afternoon. ]

[getting_better]

[He chuckles as his chest warms up from seeing her so excited to practice. Hopefully she won't get bored while he looks for a better spot to practice. He turns back into his human form, adjusting his coat and cuffs.]

Well, I can see you'll be here for a while and you have the basics of gliding down. From there you might be able to figure out some other techniques, but if you don't that's fine too. I'm just a call or text away if you need help. See you around, Konoe-san.

[With that, Bishop waves goodbye as he starts to exit the clearing while putting another item on his to-do list.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Later!

I'll let you know how things go later on, okay?

Bye~!

[ And that was before Konoka sailed off gliding again. ]
