You too! :D :D Also, we can wrap this thread up soon if you want!

With a jovial bark, the wolf had thrown herself into the air, embarking on her very first test flight. Shiv gave an excited call, jumping out of the way before circling back and landing on the stump the female had just pushed off from. She watched eagerly, beginning to bounce a little on her feet, as her student moved her strange, short-feathered wings once...then landed in a heap. Snow and dirt were flung into the air around her as she rolled to a stop, laughing. The magpie followed after her, skidding to a halt beside the female and cocking her head, wondering why she was so happy. She had stuck the landing and her air-time had been atrocious — if Shiv had done that her mother would have permanently kicked her from the nest.

She gave a few curious gurgles as the wolf recovered and looked over to her, smiling. Well, at least she hadn't broken anything, it seemed. "Much practice needed, yes," the bird replied with a nod and a small, amused chirp. Though, inwardly, she was impressed with the girl. She wasn't certain many others would even attempt to take to the skies. With time, she would no doubt be able to master the craft! With that thought, the bird cocked her head. "Wolf have flock?" she questioned. "Can teach others now!"
