[PQ] Feathers & Fearlessness

DEVRUM "Fresh air, monsters...my kind of party." Devrum muttered as he looked over the skies, turning and nodding his head to Kiada as Remi introduced them. Once the pair were off, Devrum leapt off as he rippled into the shape of the larger raptorial predator. His wing-span spread out nearly 5 ft across with powerful flaps, closing in to glide and build momentum before opening them once again to push further up. That's when the gusts began to pound in. The Buzzard screeching in disapproval as it slammed off the moisture from its wings with a strong flap. Smart girl... Devrum thought to the pair as he pulled in his wings and sent himself diving down like a missle of feathers before shooting out his wings, gliding up in a powerful swoop though he changed course to remain beneath the gusts. We stay below the gusts, look for a clearing to climb. If there's no opening we push up. Devrum thought, seeming like the most reasonable choice, instead of spending unnecessary energy pushing up winds meant to stop their advances.
