WHITE, WHITE LEAVES // trying to fly

[ARVID R.]

The comments about Aphra making flight look easy certainly did make sense. She had the advantage of seniority and natural instincts on her side, and while he was sure her children had those same instincts, they didn't quite have the physicality to make use of them just yet. He was about to comment on that when Sojourn approached, causing him to pause and glance over. A soft snort left him at her little joke, and it wasn't long before he was nodding along, saying simply, "Sojourn is right – I've only been studying dragons for a little while, but it makes sense that flying would be natural for you. All you need is some more practice. Although... it might be a good idea to put something soft where you might land before trying again. You don't want to break bones or bruise yourself so badly that you end up crippling your abilities even more." Maybe he could make something like a nest for them to practice above? It certainly wouldn't be all that hard. He could probably gather a few pillows from vacant houses, maybe some blankets and some rocks to keep it all in place... it would make the perfect landing pad.
