When she mentioned her own abilities, he glanced at her in surprise. "Wings? Like, Fae wings?" Turning his attention back to their surroundings, he grinned. "That's neat."

Don't worry, though, between the two of us, we won't have a problem." His voice came out slightly distractedly.
There was a flash of movement in the distance. At first, he thought it was just another geyser. However, as they got closer it resolved into a cloud manta. He couldn't tell if it was old enough from this distance, so he just placed a finger over his lips and padded closer.
