happy new year! :)

Prima eyed the magpie's wings as they carried her little body swiftly through the air. There was so much power in those wings, despite its shape, form and weight— again, it was one thing she envied about birds.

Well, she had all the abilities a wolf had but a bird didn't, so she guessed that they were both equal. She watched her with seafoam eyes as the bird's wings glided from the stump and came to rest on the ground, smoothly and perfectly, and she proceeded to nod at Prima's words before asking her to jump.

Don't look down. The slender wolfess smiled at her words, knowing that there was very little of a chance that she would actually be able to look down before already landing squarely on the ground. Eyeing the ground then the bird once more, she gave her a grin before proceeding to leap off the stump, using all her might within her hind legs to push her body upwards so that she would be able to fall from higher ground. Then she would demonstrate her current "abilities".

Whooping gleefully— "Cowabunga!" She had only the fraction of a second to move her limbs upwards and downwards in a flapping motion like how the magpie had demonstrated before she fell, the cool breeze in her fur. Prima tumbled to the ground and onto the snow, the wind knocked out of her. It wasn't long before she regained her senses, quickly rolling over, still laughing joyfully even though parts of her body slightly ached.

There had been a fraction of a second where she was entirely free. She knew that, and she smiled up at the magpie. Well, now she knew she would do anything to feel that sensation once more, with the wind ruffling her fur and her limbs outstretched like a bird's as if she was actually really flying, even though it was only for such a short time. The silver fae inwardly rolled a shoulder, thinking perhaps she would get better at it as she continued— "Well, I tried. Not bad for a beginner?"
