Wear Harness - 5
If only she could convince him to keep the harness on without shaking it off or anything. She smiled a little at him and patted him on the head again, wondering what she would do without an animal to train. It wasn't like anything else could happen with her, right? Well, time to continue she figured with a little frown on her face as she put the harness on both wings at the same time before handing him a little seed. Jack chuckled at his confusion as he held the seed in both forelimbs before he shrugged off the harness from both wings with a little struggle. Things wouldn't work out the way the woman wanted them to, he was sure of that! Well, maybe, but that wasn't the point, was it? Jack grinned a little bit and patted him on the head as he ate his seed, this was going to work out eventually.

Wear Harness - 6
Little Tobi wasn't having this too much, but that was fine, she would get him to wear it eventually. It would all work out, it usually did for the woman. She smiled a little and quickly looped the harness over his wings again and shoved a seed at him at the same time. Tobi fluffed up and chirped as loud as his little beak would let him, trying to shrug off the harness, but she held it on there. He squawked a bit but ate the seed grudgingly. He didn't like this on him, but the seeds were nice and the woman wasn't letting him shrug it off anymore. Maybe this was what was supposed to happen, but it didn't mean he liked it at all. Poor little Tobi didn't know what to do as she held the harness on him at the moment, but that was alright, eventually he would know to wear it with pride.

Wear Harness - 7
Tobi tilted his head this way and that when the woman finally released the harness and let him wear it on his own. He still wasn't fond of it, but he knew she would just keep putting it on him if he managed to take it off. He leaned over a little and pecked at the straps around his wings with a furrowed brow. While he didn't like it, it honestly wasn't so bad, he was just throwing a little temper tantrum right now. It wasn't something he wanted to do, but that was going to be fine because she would train that out of him eventually. Jack smiled at him and patted him lightly on his little head, giving him a small seed for doing a good job at the same time. She didn't know what else to do with him yet, but she would give him some time to get used to it without shrugging it off somehow.

Wear Harness - 8
As Jack watched him, he pecked at the straps again and she moved his beak away from it just in case he managed to break through the little straps with his beak. She didn't think he would be able to just yet, but with enough patience he would probably get through it eventually, and she didn't want that at all. Jack scratched her head for a moment before pushing a hand through her hair and she smiled at the little Jibiji as he looked around, unfazed by the harness anymore. She wanted it to become second nature for him to have it on, and he was getting there. He looked up at her expectantly and she gave him a bigger seed for his trouble, his tiny little arms grabbing the seed and working the inner part out with his beak before dropping the casing as his feet. She didn't know what else to do!

Wear Harness - 9
Slowly Jack took off his harness and Tobi fluffed up a little when it was off, then smoothed his feathers down again. She then put it back on and he fluffed up again, this time a little indignantly but that was fine. He was learning to put it on and take it off as well as keep it on, and that was fine by her at the moment. Jack chuckled a little at him and reached down to rub his cheek with her forefinger. He was so little she was afraid to hurt him, she was so used to the bigger animals, after all. Smiling a bit, she sat down at the table and then stretched out her back and arms, wondering what she was going to do when they were done with this. There were several more things to learn, she just didn't know what to go with next.

Wear Harness - 10
The little harness weighed almost nothing and he really didn't notice it anymore, it was more of a show for the woman at this point than anything else. He trilled a little song for a bit and then rolled over on his back from side to side to get at an itch, almost like a dog, before he popped back onto his feet and looked around, chirping. Jack chuckled and rubbed his head a little again, at least he wasn't trying to fight it anymore, though they probably needed to test it a little more before he was completely happy. It was fine right now though, she figured, he'd gotten used to it and would wear it without much fuss for awhile, which was good for her to figure out. She still had to decide what to train him next, however, but that could wait just a bit as he got settled in.

Fly - 1
Back in the Park, Jack decided that the little Jibiji needed to stretch his wings and fly. It would be difficult, she was used to training big things how to fly, not little things, but she figured the basics would be the same when it came down to it. She smiled a little bit at the little Jibiji and then tried to figure out how to do this. It would be different, at the very least, and she knew she had to do it though so he could have that much more freedom. She was typically simple in her commands, and saw no reason to be different with this little one either. Jack pushed a hand through her hair and then reached out and flapped Tobi's little wings, "Fly, Tobi!" He just pulled his wings back and tilted his head to the side, not understanding a single thing that was going on.

Fly - 2
Flying would be good for him, especially if he was going to be her messenger. He couldn't carry huge messages, she didn't think, but that was fine, just scraps of paper and all that would work out quite well. Jack smiled at him and gave him a little seed as she patted him on the head a little. He would get it, she knew it, it was just getting there that was the issue. Pumping his little wings for him again, she gave him the command, "Fly, Tobi!" He pulled his wings back from her again and tilted his head to the other side, but she gave him a little seed for his troubles again. Eventually, she had to keep saying that, eventually. Flying was difficult, and he had never done it before no matter what the situation, so of course he was going to have a few issues with learning.

Fly - 3
Flying was difficult to get the hang of she was sure of it, but that was alright when it came down to it. She smiled at him and patted him on the head before popping his wings up and down again, "Fly, Tobi!" Giving him a little seed straight afterward was a good thing, showing that it was something she wanted him to do. It had been a bit since they had done any real training, and even then it was strange. He was so little she was afraid of hurting him, she just wasn't used to that but that was alright. As he ate the inside of the little seed before dropping the shell, she sat back on the picnic table they were working on and then stared at him a little. He was cute, with big ears and a decent color of his feathers. She just wished she had an easier way of training this.

Fly - 4
Everything would be fine, she figured, as soon as he learned how to fly. Luckily things would be all worked out when things finished, and she was even planning on taking him to the Gym later on! First though, to flight. Jack pumped little Tobi's wings again and gave him a seed, "Fly, Tobi!" Her commands were simple, yet effective. She knew some people used different words or signals for different things, but knew she would never remember them if she did that herself. Tobi fluttered his wings a little on his own and looked up at him. "Good, Tobi!" she exclaimed, giving him another seed to signal he had done something right. That was the best part, when she saw the wheels in their head turning when she trained, figuring out they had done something good whenever they were working together. The fact that Tobi was catching on was even better, honestly.

Fly - 5
Well at least he was kind of getting that he needed to flap his wings during this training, she just didn't know how long it was going to take him to figure the rest of it out. What was he going to do whenever he realized he could fly? Maybe she needed a tether for him just in case, but she didn't think that would be completely necessary as long as she taught him to find her pretty soon after this. Jack pumped his wings for him again, "Fly, Tobi!" He fluttered his wings a little, puffing up his chest feathers as he did so. Hey, whatever worked, she figured, and then praised him and gave him a little seed. As he ate it, she realized she couldn't wait to see if this method would work, it almost had to, it worked for the bigger animals at least, and briefly wondered if she should give him a Ribbon.

Fly - 6
Jack watched as Tobi fluttered his little wings, though not fast or strong enough yet to lift him off of the table. Maybe if she threw him... But that would end badly, she figured, last resort, that. She winced a little, she was so used to training big animals, this was so far out of her depth she wondered if she should just quit. But she needed a messenger and that was that. There was no other option, she had to train him, and he needed to learn to fly. Jack flapped his wings for him again and gave him a treat when he continued to do so after she finished it for him. She grinned and patted him on the head, "Good fly, Tobi!" Positive reinforcement was a good thing, always a good thing, and Tobi happily ate the seed, realizing he was doing something right in order to get one of them.

Fly - 7
As a last resort, instead of throwing, she would drop him to the table and see if his instincts kicked in. That was the only way to do it she figured. Of course she would keep trying what she was trying now, but until then she really didn't know what else to do. Jack looked at him, "Fly, Tobi!" Tobi glanced at both of his wings for a moment and preened before flapping them hard, but still not enough to get him off of the table. She chuckled and gave him a seed, patting him on his little head. She was very careful to watch her strength before she touched him, just in case, she didn't want to hurt him after all. He was so little she could squish him with a single hand, not that she wanted to do that in any way, shape, or form of course.

Fly - 8
Jack watched him experiment with his wings a little bit before she stretched her shoulders out a little. Watching an animal fly always made her shoulder blades ache a bit, though she didn't know why. Did she want to fly too? Until recently she had been terrified of flying, but Ashe had helped her overcome that fear, thankfully. "Fly, Tobi!" Jack told him again and clapped her hands happily when he flapped hard enough that he got some air under his feet. Coming off of the table only half an inch, Tobi was shocked to see what was happening to him. "Very good fly, Tobi!" she exclaimed happily, giving him a big seed for a job well done. The big seeds were the best, and the light colored ones were his favorite, so he enjoyed this one very much. He must have done something exceptional to get the perfect seed!

Fly - 9
Giving him seeds was motivation enough for him at the moment, and when she gave the command again, he flapped as hard as he could and got a little more air under him. He was clumsy, of course, but any first time flyer was usually clumsy, especially if they'd never seen anything else flying! Jack grinned at him and patted his head before giving him another big seed. He knew what was coming now when she said that, he was supposed to do that thing in the air! Tobi looked pleased with himself as he ate his seed, it was kind of fun too, but he didn't know why she wanted this to happen to him. Everything was fine, she figured as he dropped back to the table, surprised with himself as he did rather well with the whole thing. She needed to test him out a little bit more, but he was doing great.
