Some people crash two or three times
And then learn from their mistakes
And then learn from their mistakes
Seemingly torn between flying away with the kite and curling into a ball, it's only through the steady, soothing voice of Alys that Pip (and Koa) manage to calm down. Slowly the dragon's frantic flapping steadies into something more productive, her blue eyes focusing on the Seer's. Needle-sharp claws unclench a little, though the dragonling doesn't fully relinquish the kite. Instead she tugs against it, gently, trilling a nervous inquiry as she looks between Alys and Koa.
The Dragoon swallows, his chest a knot. "Um... I think she wants to try again. To help get the kite airborne. Pip, you sure?" For all he's tried this past year to get the dragon flying, being here, so close to it happening, fills him with a deep paternal fear. "Do... do you mind? Maybe I can run with her to get things moving? But if not it's okay too! We can always try with mine."
Which is a lie. That poor destroyed monstrosity will never touch the sky.

But we are the ones who don't slow down at all
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall
