Faedra hesitantly followed Dreed's instructions, placing her fingers over the holes. It felt strange in her grasp, but she was curious and quite pleased with this new oppertunity. She positioned her lips at the mouth piece and gently blew. A faint sound emerged from the instrument, and Faedra gasped with surprised. She smiled with delight and tried again, blowing a few more notes. Giggling, she handed the viosa back to Dreed, her eyes shining. Wow, she laughed. It must take a lot of skill to master such a thing!
Chuckles slightly and listens to her blow off a few of the notes as she tries it. Likcs his lips slightly and nods to her as she handed the viosa to him. Places it backi not his side bag and lowers his eyes away from her as she stares upon him, asking the sudden question of how it would take awhile to master such a thing. "Yes, it is...tis be one of the most difficult things that I have mastered yet. But in the end of all that training and everything, it pays off." Lifts his eyes back to her slowly and smirks then looks back out the skies. Flexes his wings slightly and closes his eyes a bit. "So, are you ready to return to the grounds below or you enjoy yourself here?" He spoke with a smile as he asked her.
Faedra looked to the edge of the cliff and gazed at the glory of the sun. The light reflected against her black and silver fur, glistening in her bi-coloured eyes. She sighed inaudible and turned back to Dreed, offering him a smile. I suppose I'm ready to go back, although it is beautiful up here, she said softly.
Dreed looks back down upon her and smirks lightly. "Well, perhaps one day...when our fates twist together once more. I can bring you back here." He spoke gently to her as he lifted her up in arms and walked over to the edge of the cliff looking out once more before opening his wings to catch a draft. Then suddenly a heavy wind blows against the fold of his wings lifting him up from the ground. Closes his eyes slightly and leans into the wind forcing his way down through it towards the ground below. Opens his eyes once more then looked down upon Faedra as she looked out at the scenary below. Licks his lips slightly and looks back ahead of himself as he flaps his wings once flying up higher in the sky busting through the cloud cover. Once above the cloud cover he comes to a stop and hovers, holding her in his arms. "Tis be the last thing that I wanted to show you before we was grounded once more." Looks about at the clear skies above and the foggy looking surface below them.
Faedra, hardly able to contain her excitement at the prospect of flying again, grinned widely as she entwined her arms around Dreed's neck. She gave a whoop of delight as they took off, and she was once again made breathless at the weightless feeling of flight. The scenery was beautiful, and Faedra found herself wishing for an extra eight pairs of eyes to look in all directions at once. As Dreed took her higher, she fought the urge to tighten her grip around his neck. When they broke cloud cover, Faedra gasped and looked around, stunned. Incredible... she whispered.
Grins softly at her response to the scenery. Nods slowly to her and looks out at the clear sky and clouded scene below. Licks his lips slightly and glaers a bit as a sudden wind blows over the two of them, causing the clouds to shift and begin to flow off into the direction that it blew. Looks back to Faedra and grins running his fingers along her shoulder and thigh that he rested his hands upon. "I just have the feeling that you would enjoy such a view from such a place as tis. Good to see you smile." Spoke softly looking away from her back out at the scenery once more then folds his wings in close to his body causing himself to drop down below the clouds and into a free fall to the ground. Closes his eyes slowly and relaxes his wings, just falling.
Faedra inhaled sharply and closed her eyes, revelling in the moment of free fall. The wind whistled through her fur, and she could feel her heartbeat pounding in her ears. She tightened her hold around Dreed's neck ever so slightly, conscious to remain careful not to strangle him. Slowly, she cracked one eye open and saw the clouds swirling around them. She laughed outloud and threw her head back, releasing a long and musical howl of joy.
Upon hearing the sweet sound of her laughter, Dreed opens his eyes fully then spreads his wings forth from his frame. Just as his wings extended fully a heavy jerk comes up over his body as the wind pulls him up from the ground that was inches away from hitting. Leans his head back into the wind and laughs aloud as well as he soars out over the ground lowly, looking about as he does then turns over onto his back. Curls his wings in about himself and Faedra as he came over the glassy surface of the Magi Lake then skims across it, skipping like a stone just before hitting the sand coming to a complete stop. Shakes his head a bit then draws his wings back from about her chuckling as he does. Turns his eyes down upon her slowly then reaches a hand up lifting her eyes to his. "Well my dear Faedra, we be back on the ground again...", Smiles softly looking to her face then slides his hand up her back slowly as his other remains beneath her chin.
Faedra held on tightly to Dreed, forgetting to be cautious about his comfort as the world drew up beneath them. Dreed's laughter warmed her heart, and she laughed along with him. As they skimmed the lake surface, she reached a hand out and dipped her fingers in the crystaline water. When they landed, Faedra let out a heavy sigh of satisfaction and stepped out of Dreed's arms. His hands found her face and back, and she suddenly found her heartbeat quickening within her chest. She looked up at him and smiled, unable to take her eyes away from the intensity of his stare.
Laughs once more and looks to her as she slips away from him. Lies there on his back in the sand waving his tail back and forth as he does. Licks his lips slightly then sits up from the ground rubbing his back and shoulder a bit. "That was the best of the best lass. I don't think that anyone else in the world could pull off that." Laughs again and shakes his head running his hand along the ground, listening to the heavy beat of his heart as he did. Turns his eyes back up to her slowly then rises to his feet, taking a bow. "Thank you for choosing Big Boy Air, watch your step and have a nice day." He spoke jokingly and laughs once more.
Faedra laughed at Dreed's joke and returned the bow. The pleasure was mine, sir, thank you, she chuckled. Then, suddenly, she reached up and tweaked his nose. Giggling, she ducked off to the side and ran past him. She ran only a few paces away and then turned to face him, smiling playfully. She crouched in a mock fighting stance, her tail blade swishing from side to side humourously. You may be a master flyer, sir Dreed, she said with a jokingly challenging voice, but how are your fighting skills on the ground?
Chuckles and looks on as she bows back to him in return with a smile. Spins around as she moves away from him in a few paces then turns dropping down into a fighting stance. Dreed smirks and glares as he spreads his wings slightly lowering himself a bit. "Well, why don't you come and find out, my dear Faedra." He spoke in a joking serious toned voice. Reaches one of his hand up and holds it out as the other goes to his waist removing the side bag, dropping it on the ground. "You have speed, but do you have the power to back it up...?" He questioned as he continued to stare at her.
Now, having lived alone for nearly all her life, Faedra learned quickly how to defend herself from foes. She was quite a worthy adversary, and was eager to prove her skills against Dreed. Of course she was aware that he was much older, wiser, bigger, stronger, and experienced than she, but she was in a playful mood and was quite willing to show off the skill she had acquired all on her own. After all, she relied more on speed and agility than brute strength. Slowly Faedra advanced, keeping low to the ground. She didn't intend to use her lethal jagged-bladed tail blade against her friend, so she tucked it against her leg for safety. She kept her two-toned eyes fixed on Dreed's face, watching for signs of his first move in return. To be fair, she decided that she would not use her telepathic gift to predict his attack. It was after all, just a game.
Dreed smirked lightly at her as she advanced upon him. Licks his lips a bit and takes a step forward towards her. Then leaps out with a great stride then attempts to scoop her up in his arms. But then dashes over in one other direction, swinging out his tail slightly so nots to hurt her trying to take her legs from beneath her.
Faedra jumped backwards to avoid being scooped up, but suddenly found herself being flipped onto her back as Dreed's tail swept her legs out from beneath her. She stifled her own startled yelp and landed on her back. To cover her blunder, she rolled backwards and went up on her feet again, grinning admirably at her opponent. She ducked and weaved from side to side, keeping her eyes fixed on Dreed's. She then lunged forward and gently nipped him on the shoulder, careful not to puncture his flesh. She pulled back, still smiling, and waited for his next move.
Chuckles lightly and swings his tail back and forth moving about slowly. But as she got up and came after him then with the gently nip upon his shoulder he turns his chuckle in a grunt. Clears his throat and dashes at her once more, bringing his arms out along with his wings then attempts to scoop her up. Doesn't pay any attention to detail as he places his feet loosely against the ground as he moved for her.
Faedra dodged to the side once again, sidestepping her friend. She moved out of his way and then nipped his arm, again remaining careful not to draw blood or apply too much pressure with her fangs. He whirled around to face her faster than she expected someone of his size could move. For a moment she stood frozen in place, caught off guard by his sudden motion.
Dreed moves up on her after spinning around the takes her up in arms gently chuckling as he does. Turns about with her in his arms then looks down upon her. "I got you...I got you." He chuckled once more and drops down onto his bum sitting there, then releases her from his grasp. Falls back against the ground taking a deep breath then lets it out slowly. "You have a lot of skill Faedra I give you that, but you have to work on that freezing thing of yours." Smiles lightly and takes another deep breath letting it out slowly.
Faedra whooped as Dreed's strong arms encircled her and lifted her up off her feet. Put me down, you villain! she cried, pretending to struggle frantically. She was laughing as the two of them went down, and eagerly scrambled out of his grasp as he released her. His advice certainly made sense to her, and the same thought had graced her mind previously. I shall work on it, she said with a sheepish smile. I should have been more prepared for a surprise move, after all.
Nods to her comment, staring up at the skies from where he lied. Glares slightly and shifted his eys back to Faedra then smiles softly at her. Flexes his wings a bit against the ground and relaxes reaching his hands up behide his head. Closes his eyes slightly at a gleam of light as a metallic object flew over head. "Well, no matter if you messed up with the freezing part. You're still one of the quickest pendragons in the world, by my standards anyway." Turns his head to the side relaxing as he closes his eyes fully, swaying his tail back and forth.
