"If I could fly I would never come back", you said
For a moment there it looked like the smaller bird would spill over the other side of the branch. Pale wings spread halfway in preparation in case she had to catch her from a tumble - but with a bit of flapping and staggering Nova managed to save herself. Again the heavy beak of the gore crow sounded an applause, encouraging; it had been a very good take off and a fully adequate bit of flying.
Deciding to switch up the game for a bit, as she leaped up this time, she remained hovering over the branch and simply pushed herself higher and higher, in an exercise of raw power that challenged the chest muscles to the max. It would likely leave them both sore even when they shifted back - but strength was essential to making the most of their wings. And given that Nova had six of them, muscle control could not be overstated.
