He slowly extended her wings, pursing his lips. His fingers were soft and they brushed the edges gently. “Good. Okay. Turn in a circle a few times. Get used to how that feels.”
She would feel wide and unwieldy. However, after a few rotations, she would get used to the feeling and he nodded approvingly. “Good. Okay. Now, walk down the aisle with them extended. Try not to hit the walls.”
He flew over to her, taking her hands. “There we go. Think about that distance that your wings take up. Thing about their range of motion.”
“I’m going to let go of your hands now,” he said gently. “Continue to think about the space your wings are holding.”
She managed to maintain her position and he nodded, flying around her gently, correcting her position occasionally. “There you go.”
She would find she had a better idea of proprioception, maneuvering around with ease. Ben nodded, folding his arms. “Good...”
“You’re doing excellently, Calliope,” he said approvingly. “Now, it’s your final test. I want you to close your eyes.”
She seemed hesitant, looking ahead again. She hesitated and closed her eyes, already directing toward a wall.
He came up in front of her. “I’m right here. Fly around a little and I’ll stop you from causing too many fires.”
