Subtlety's not my strong suit.

What do you think of God? The gods, if you have more than one.

Good! Caring for your wings is important if you want to go anywhere.

[Action]

[technologic]

... How do you care for them, exactly? I know lying on them isn't good, but I don't know much else...

[Action]

[demonfly]

Do you wash them? Whenever you get to wash yourself anyway.

[Action]

[technologic]

Well, yeah. Gets kinda awkward trying to get the right temperature though, since my wings apparently don't like the heat or cold.

[Action]

[demonfly]

That happens with mine too. It's normal, don't worry.

[Action]

[technologic]

[She sighs in relief, wings drooping a bit more now that she's less tense.] O-okay, that's good... Anything else I would need to know?

[Action]

[demonfly]

Try to have an idea of where you plan to land before you actually have to land.

[Action]

[technologic]

... Okay. I can do that. [Plan: Don't land into a tree branch.]

[Action]

[demonfly]

Okay. Now, try flying over there. [He gestures across the way.]

[Action]

[technologic]

Hmm? Ah, okay. [She stretches out her wings, and the flies over the way he instructed without much trouble.]

[Action]

[demonfly]

That's good! You've got the basics down already.

[Action]

[technologic]

Mm, I managed to get the hang of it after a while. It's only flying around or through things I have trouble with. I have trouble imagining where my wings are when I fly so I tend to... um, crash.

[Action]

[demonfly]

Okay then. Do a circle around that tree there.

[Action]

[technologic]

[Fly around the tree? Well, that doesn't sound too hard and she does as he says.

And then she gets her wing caught on a branch and she let's out a yelp as she's jerked back and flops onto the ground.]

[Action]

[demonfly]

Are you okay? I kinda figured you might.

[Action]

[technologic]

... Owwwww. [She sits up with a faint wince, looking to check her wing.] But yeah, I'm fine.

[Action]

[demonfly]

Now you know that that was too close to the tree. Do it again when you're ready.

[Action]

[technologic]

Ah, right! [She quickly pushes herself onto her feet, checking her wing again, before going to fly around the tree.

And while her wing does nick a branch again, she manages to keep flying, and gets around it a bit more easily.]

[Action]

[demonfly]

That's good! Try it again. Your inner wing needs to be a little further away, that's all.

[Action]

[technologic]

Mm, okay! [She does it again, this time not getting her wing caught in the tree at all. So she looks pleased after she has flown around it.] Aha, I did it!

[Action]

[demonfly]

[And applause from the peanut gallery!]

[Action]

[technologic]

[April blinks over at him, and then sheepishly gets back onto the ground.] Ah, u-um, thanks...

[Action]

[demonfly]

You're doing great, April! That was quicker than I picked it up.

[Action]

[technologic]

Well, I, uh... I guess it's cause I have a good teacher.

[Action]

[demonfly]

Aww, thanks!
