"I see... Well, it's best to rest now. I assume your muscles might hurt after that exercion. Let's go down to the galley and grab a bite to eat?"
"And a bit exhausting, I really thought I would crash on the floor and die"
She sighed heavily before standing up on the ground
The sucking feeling on her stomach made her not want to try again

He grins and laughs softly, "Good job, you aren't dead."
"That's pretty impressive for a first time, don't you think?" His golden eyes almost seem to sparkle.
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"I'm going to dieeee"
She whined softly as she took a deep breath, slwoly stopping the flapping until she... More or less landed well on the floor
She let out the biggest sigh of relief she could ever do
"Oh my god..."
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
"Alright, that's a good start," he gives her a small smile, "Try to come down gently... I've still got you."
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"What?!"
She groans with a loud huff before she slumps a little. Her wings battling rapidly so she's not to fall.
"Oh my god, I'm floating!"
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
He watches her slowly lift off the floor with fascination. His grip on her wrists tightens ever so slightly; as if he'd ever lose his grip.
"Good, they seem to work better than I expected. Try to relax your muscles and let them beat."
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"Okay... Sure. Yeah. Sure"
Cue the heavy sigh before she's grabbing onto his wrists, holding onto before starting to flap her wings.
Its more difficult when she's trying to do it. Instead of the wings doing their own thing.
"... Eh....! W-WOAH...!"
She would gasp as she started to fly
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
He stands before her again and puts out both hands facing up for her to take if she wanted.
"I can support you if you'd like."
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"I have no idea and I'm really not that eager to find out"
She sighed heavily just as her wings pulled away, before fluttering lazily.
"... Maybe I should try with fluttering.."
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
"Hm..." he thinks back to fairies he's seen in fiction. "I wonder if it really works by flapping frantically like a butterfly or... by some sort of natural dust much like your blood."
He's observing the details, the scales that make the wings' patterning with his chin pinched between his fingers.

Her wings flap uncomfortably, even she makes a little noise that indicates she did not like that.
Still she takes a deep breath and fixes her wing posture before looking back to the front.
"I guess... I could try"
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
"I can do that for you if you wish, altho I've never heard someone refuse the opportunity to fly before."
He takes a few steps to stand behind her and gently holds each wing from the bottom, bringing them together in an open wing position.
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"Oh my goodness. I don't even know how to control this things. Isn't it easier to just... Cut them off??"
Okay that's a bit extreme Kairy
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
His facial expression is completely serious. His golden irises maintain eye contact.
"Maybe not yet, but eventually. You likely need to exercise the muscles associated with them."
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"...???"
She stares at his hand before staring at his face like he's gone insane
"WHAT - you think this things will hold me up??"
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
He walks up to her and takes her left hand into his right.
"First of all, I want you to learn to flap your wings... The ideal outcome of this being that you should be able to float and eventually fly."
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
"Really?"
She hums as she tries to turn around and look at her wings, to no use.
"Of course."
A small growl before smiling again
"Okay Captain . What's the order now? What's the experiment?"
✧ Iridescent Scales ✧
He's changed into his casual attire, a black long sleeve shirt and dark spotted jeans. It was a little chilly up on the deck.
He nods to her in greeting as she approaches.
"Good, I'm glad everything fits correctly... Those wings look very beautiful under the suns light, I'll admit."
Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ
Deck, waving her hand at him
"Ikkaku is truly an angel. She got my measurements right! All of them!"
