"The best way is just to go for it." Venti told Yuki. "At least you don't have to worry about falling, although I would have totally healed you if you did."

Yuki nodded and flapped again, going just as high into the air as before. She drifted down for a second before trying to flap. The moment she brought her wings up, however, she was moving too slowly to stay up and started to fall. She immediately spread her winds again to catch herself. "This is hard." She said to herself as she landed again.

"Don't worry, you'll get it soon enough and then you'll be flying like a pro." Venti told her. "And you have Venti here to keep you at it until you do." Bliss laughed.

"Only Venti? Are you leaving?" Yuki said in reply to Bliss' statement.

"No, I'll be here." Bliss assured her. "But you'll find that Venti can be a bit persistent." "Ha. Ha." Venti said rolling her head with each word. "I'm not persistent, just motivated."

"Oh, ok. Well it'll be a pleasure flying with you, someday." She reared back and flapped once again, going high in the air. This time, on the way down, she flapped up and down but did a large bobbing motion as she had her wings open the entire time and was pushing herself down as much as she was pushing herself up. eventually she started to get dizzy and started floating back down again, trying to think of what went wrong.

"No, no, what are you doing?" Venti said. "Don't you know that you use your whole body to fly? Keep it still and only flap your wings to hover. Like this." Venti flew up and hovered in the air.

Yuki looked up and stared at Venti, trying to piece together all the movements. She focused in on her wings and also watched what the rest of her body was doing.

"Come on Yuki!" Venti called down to her. "You won't get it right if you don't get up here and try."

Yuki nodded and shot into the air, that being the only way she knew how to take off for now, and started flapping to stay up It took her a second, but eventually she started relaxing her wings on bringing them back up and only opening them on the down beat. She stopped bobbing as heavily as before and it actually looked like she knew what she as doing for once.

"Great! Now you just have to go forward." Venti said. "What does the book say Bliss?" Bliss got the book and after reading it called back. "It says you have the lean forward, like leaning out your chest. Your wings will keep you upright, but don't lean too far or you'll find yourself upside down."

Like some kind of foreshadowing karma, Yuki did a front flip in the air and fell for a bit before fanning her wings out to catch herself, a trick she's gotten very good at. She flapped her wings to steady herself and tried to gain altitude. It took a while considering because every movement was deliberate and a little slow, but she actually started rising. She was hesitant to lean forward again, though.

Venti thought for a bit about what Yuki was doing wrong and then flew in front of her. "I know! Give me your paws and I'll pull you forwards, that way you can feel how it's done and you wont fall."

Yuki nodded, still unsure, but ok to try anything. She held out her paws for Venti and took a breath as she focused on staying afloat.

Venti grabbed her paws and slowly pulled her forwards as she flew backwards. "There, now get a good feel for it."

Yuki was able to stay up and drift forward. This definitely more helpful then simply leaning forward and it wasn't long before she started to get the hang of it.

"Ready to go a little faster?" Venti asked Yuki.

"Umm, sure..." She said, content that she should be able to go with it. At this point she wasn't even thinking about staying up and her focus was on moving forward. The staying up part was understood by now.

"Okay." Venti said and flew a little faster. "I'm going to let go now, so you can fly on your own." She told Yuki.

Yuki was hesitant at first, but braced her self and nodded, "Alright. Here goes nothing I guess."

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Venti assured her and let go of her paws.

Once Venti let go, Yuki tensed her arms and legs a bit trying to keep balanced. It worked, but only made her tired and a little sore. Eventually she relaxed, and for the first time that day, flying felt natural. She was even able to speed up and slow down a little. It didn't take her long to realize she was getting pretty far away from Bliss, however, and she stopped and tried to think of how to turn around in the air. She could hover well enough, and wasn't even that tired, but was getting frustrated when she couldn't even think how how to turn to begin with.

"Great work Yuki!" Bliss called from below. "Yeah, you're a natural, what did I tell you." Venti said flying up next to her.

"How do I turn around." She said, still floating in place. Her face was a little pouty from her sudden stumped state.

"Oh, well, the same way you went forward." Venti told her. "Just lean the way you want to turn, like this." Venti flew around in a circle as she leaned over more and more until she flipped over and back upright. "See?"

"Hmm." Yuki hummed as she thought about it. She started by moving forward, a trick she'd gotten down pact by now, and then leaned into a right u-turn, trying to imitate Venti. It was a wide turn, and very rough looking, but after her wide arc, she managed to get en route to Bliss again.

"Awesome!" Venti said falling in next to Yuki. "Now we can go shopping!" She said with glee. "You can practice more on the way."

"Fine." Yuki said, not content with her ability but really wanting to go shopping, "But if any other dragons laugh at me, I'm holding you responsible." She added with a wide grin, "You coming with?" She asked Bliss and landed in front of him.

"Of course he is!" Venti said landing next to her. "And if anybody laughs we'll let Bliss deal with them." Bliss chuckled. "I don't think I have a choice." "Let's just put this away for now." Venti said picking up the books and basket and putting it under a nearby bush. "Also you'll need to take some flakes with you. Did Bliss show you how to do this?" Venti asked lifting a scale on her chest and putting a flake underneath it.

"Yeah, but I didn't know it worked with scaled there as well." She said picking up a flake and putting it next to the flakes already on her shoulder.
