The truth of the matter was, Remi had been a hawk for a lot longer than Jigano had been a raven. the alchemist had a better head for keeping the high ground, and the white bird knew his only hope of avoiding those big plush paws lay in dodging, using his small size to advantage. And while it was certainly good exercise for both of them, there was so much more to Remi's new form than just wings!
The laughing roar earned a mental chuckle from the raven too, Remi's joy infectious enough to overcome the remnants of the blight that still clung doggedly to the lorekeeper's heart. Come down here and say that! he called back, teasing. He winged to a halt on top of one of the practice pells, blue eyes twinkling. You're the master of the sky, but what about on four feet instead of two arms? Shall we take the game from wings to paws - and hooves? So saying, the raven dropped behind the pell.
Dropped, and rose, body shifting from small to large, from feathered to furred until a white horse stood and shook his mane against the flying snow. The handsome Andalusian waited to see if Remi landed and then took off at a gallop, kicking up snow behind him as he stretched out his neck and raced for the far edge of the training area.
