Video - Early Ranir

[twistedempathy]

[The video doesn't start on Will's face this time. No, it turns on to show a matched set of two Xatu, rather than the one he's had for his entire stay in Havenwell. They both look quite comfortable; people Will regularly spends time with may have even already met this newcomer.]

Ainea found my other Xatu! Everyone, meet Vu!

[One of the Xatu ruffles her feathers a little and whistles a greeting, preening for the camera. Will turns the tablet to face him, beaming.]

Flying is one of my favorite things in the world! Hehehe, or should it be worlds, now? But now that both of them are here, I can share that with all of you and be up there to make sure you're safe while you do it. So, who wants flying lessons? If anyone is interested, just let me know or come drop by--I'll be waiting outside of Diacht's temple!

Video - Private to Magolor - A bit before the actual post

[twistedempathy]

Magolooooooor! I know you sew with normal fabrics, but do you work with heavier material, too? Like leather or canvas?

[So excite!11]

[wannabethehero]

I COULD FLY WITH YOUR XATU???

[Kiwi looks more excited than they've ever been.]

video!

[begguiling]

[An unexpected message! Magolor watches it and then flips on his camera, looking pretty pleased himself. A commission?!

. . . The money isn't even the first thing on his mind, incredibly. It's the work. He misses working with his hands these days; using them to hug people doesn't count.]

Sure do! I can even do plate armor if you need it! But I hope you don't. What's this about?

They are capable of carrying a human?

Re: video!

[twistedempathy]

Ahahaha! No, no, nothing like that. Ainea found my other Xatu!

[Will spins the camera to show the pair, one preening the other.]

You know how great flying is, I know how great flying is, but I bet most people here haven't had the chance to try it out. So I was thinking now that I'd be able to keep an eye on them, I could help them see what it's like?

It's dangerous to let a rookie be up that high without a safety harness, though. Or maybe two, just in case? Either way, mine's still at home. So I was thinking you'd be the best person to ask about it!

[twistedempathy]

You sure could! It takes a little getting used to, but I bet you'll pick it up in no time!

[Kiwi, you're adorable, and he can probably hear you normally too if you're home right now. Still, he can't help but be charmed by so much enthusiasm!]

[twistedempathy]

They are! They may look a little fragile, but they're a lot stronger than they seem. They're probably even better suited for it than a lot of the more common fliers people use--even if they wouldn't be strong enough to carry a load normally, odds are pretty good they can make up the difference with psychic power.

[original_is_best]

That is quite impressive. That's a substantial amount of weight for creatures of their size.

How do they carry one?

[twistedempathy]

Isn't it?

[Listen to him glowing with pride as he talks about his babies. Who's the most embarrassing pet dad? It he!]

They're big enough to carry people on their backs, as long as you're careful not to get in the way of their wings!

[original_is_best]

What sort of equipment is used?

[twistedempathy]

Well, if you've got enough practice under your belt, you can just ride bareback. I do it all the time! But most people should use a safety harness. Those keep you in the right position to allow unobstructed flight, and make sure you can't fall off even if the weather gets rough.

[Will moves to prop the tablet up so he can use both hands, before holding one up to show off. Look, Magolor, your work is getting some free advertising!]

[original_is_best]

Interesting. And it is safe?

[begguiling]

[Ohhh! He waves at the Xatu when they appear on the screen, whether or not they're paying attention to him. A new family member! A new-old family member!]

I'm so flattered you thought of me~! I had no idea you could ride them! They are pretty big. How about this? I'll come over to get some measurements and you can show me how you ride one! I'll need to know that to know how best to fit the harness. I'll happily take your business!

[twistedempathy]

[Deja simply bobs her head to return the greeting; Vu whistles at Magolor, offering him an energetic flap of wings. And who might you be?]

Well, why not? You're one of the most multi-talented people here! You can come over whenever you want; I think I remember how the straps are supposed to go.

[twistedempathy]

Hehehe~ I'm still here, aren't I?

[begguiling]

[A lively one! Magolor winks back and give a thumbs up. Pokemon flirting . . . ]

Hehehe, now you really are flattering me! But since it's true, keep it up. I'm free now if you are!
