Probably! You could probably get better height than I can, since your wings are bigger...

[Stupid dumb thin Wingull wings.]

_{[He brings the terrible things around in front of him. The things that had been keeping him from functioning at all.]}

...


...can you show me?

[Action]

[wing_attack]

Sure. We'll need to head outside though... how's the backyard sound?

_{[Desperate to find some release from this armless hell, Henry heaves himself to his feet and quickly leads the way outside. He was going to fly! He was going to fly!]}

What's first?

[Action]

[wing_attack]

[He follows along, and... hm.]

Let's see. First, let me see you flap a little bit. Spread your wings, and let yourself get some air under there.

[no_ufo_ending]

Alright...

_{[Henry stands tall and spreads his wings out to their full length. It feels pretty good since he's spent so much time keeping them clamped close to his body to avoid knocking things over. Then he gives several mighty, though uncoordinated flaps, whipping up grass and dust from the yard.]}

[wing_attack]

Try like this. You've got to move them together. Let instinct take over.

[Maybe it's not the same thing... but it's close. He flaps his wings in time, letting them fall into a smooth rhythm.]

<sub>[Henry stops kicking up a Whirlwind long enough to watch.]

[That makes a lot more sense.]

[Slowly he begins to mimic Tobias. This is a much less exhausting exercise.]</sub>

Like this? Do we jump off the roof next?

[wing_attack]

Let's... try to just get a little air here first. Let's not break our legs yet.

[He flaps hard again, getting an inch or so off the ground before landing again.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[BUT TOBIAAAAAS.]}

Alright.

_{[As excited as he's getting, he's a good student and after a few more minutes of careful rowing motions, he gives a hearty flap and manages to push himself a couple of inches off the ground before touching down.]}

Did you see that!

[wing_attack]

[He can't help but grin at Henry. He's getting it pretty quickly!]

Yeah! Good job, Henry! Now try it again!

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The ole poke'brain is starting to kick in now and Henry's excitement helps it right along. He follows Tobias's command and this time gets a good foot. Brown feathers flutter all around him.]}

What do we do next?

_{[He REALLY wants to jump off that roof, man.]}

[wing_attack]

We start getting a little more air, and make sure you can land before you start jumping off of things.

[Trust him. He knows. He has broken wings a lot before, it's not fun. And they can't morph here to fix injuries.]
