~ ☼ It hurt, of course it did, she had just smacked into the sand at a decent speed, she just hoped that none of her scales had gotten cracked from the rough landing. It could have been worse, but she was just a little winded and dazed for the moment, laying on the sand as she waited for the pain to fade out. Perhaps worse than the physical pain however, was the instant embarrassment she felt when she realized that more than a few of her groupmates had probably just seen her jump off a rock and plant herself straight back into the sand. She couldn't believe she had failed, today was supposed to be the day she took to the skies, not the day she splatted onto the sand, but she just couldn't puzzle out how exactly she had gone and messed this up, this was supposed to be easy.
Hearing someone approach, the hybrid tilted her head up, and-oh wow, it was the guy who was on fire! She always kind of wondered just how you could be on fire and not be hurt, but maybe it was just a fire control thing, like...like her mom had had. Another voice brought her out of her thoughts, and it was only then that she realized she had been asked a question, two questions, in fact, her crimson eyes flicking between fire-guy and the other newcomer, one of Winter's kids? "I'm fine, I'm good, just stings a bit. Onyxpaw, nice to meet you Swordskit!" she answered, pushing herself up into a more dignified seated position, giving herself a firm shake to as much sand and grit off of herself as she could, wings folding and settling back against her once more. Then, she was bombarded by question after question, and, as they went on, a big grin of her own started to form. "Uh, that wasn't really flying, more like gliding, but I'll tell you when I get it down, just give me a few days! I dunno about the sky, but I'll definitely go touch a cloud, that's like, number two on my list of cool flying stuff. I never had feathers, I'm not part bird, I'm part snake, and they are really cool aren't they, I mean, look at 'em!"
