Petting him on the head for a moment to get his attention again without saying his name, she then takes out two treats from her pocket as a reward for having held eye contact for so long. "Good job Saar, you did great." She mutters to him after he ate it, and surprisingly, he actually looked up again when she said his name, glancing at her curiously. "Yes! That's it Saar, I think you've got it now!" She couldn't help but respond excitingly when he did that again, perhaps he learned his name now? She certainly hopes so. Giving him three more treats to eat, she grins at his surprise from getting more treats now too, he ate it up quickly enough though. And looked in her eyes again for another treat more than likely, stroking his head plate gentle, she turned her attention to Envix as she promise to start getting closer to Saar for her own type of reward if she succeeds.
When Envix sees she is paying her more attention again, she could literally see Envix is still mentally preparing herself for it, but after a moment of what could almost be seen as fluffing up in order to gather her courage. She slowly starts coming closer to Saar, inch by inch. 'Remember, you only get me to read you a book tonight if you come as close to him as I do.. I would really like it if you could place a hand on his flank, even if he might not feel you doing it. It's the thought that counts.' She sees Envix hesitate slightly at her words, as previously she only wanted her as close by her side as possible, but she figures it would serve her much better to be a little distance away from her, and try to touch him on her own. It might have only been the promise of reading to her that got her courage as far as it can go right now, but it is enough for her to know that after a few minutes Envix did come within touching distance to place her clawed hand on his hide, sinking in the skin slightly as she is still a ethereal creature. Saar twitches slightly when it happens, a puzzled look crossing his face, but didn't respond to it any further except nudging her hand. Not paying one bit of attention to Envix that is at his flank. She isn't even sure if he would have felt Envix's shadows touching her, but it's good to see not much of a response from him as she sees Envix pet him now in a curious manner, waiting for a response from the big lug and not getting it. Gradually she sees Envix relaxes more in his presence and couldn't help but be relieved about it. the wariness in these two and a half hours or more will hopefully not make another return ever again in Saar's presence.

She gives the both of them a fond smile, petting Saar's head only one more before she back's away from him, coming towards the tree she had tied him on, and untying it so that Saar would have more room to walk should he want to. He isn't the type to attack unprovoked, nor the type that would actually run away far enough that he can't be found.
The slight confused grunt she received in response made her smile even larger. He still looked pretty relaxed while Envix continues to pet his flank, and the big lug doesn't notice a thing after the initial touch.His tail twitching in a relaxed manner. 'Alright Envix, I got something new for you to work on, and I think.. It might be something you'd be very interested in as well.' She mentions in her mind to her lurker companion, and sees Envix pull away her clawed hand, backing off a bit from Saar before tilting her head in a manner that conveys curiosity. 'Lets hear this.. proposal of yours.' It was said in a slightly halting tone, as if unsure if it would truly interest her or not, but willing at least to hear her out before making a decision on if she'd actually want to continue.
She knows Envix is already looking forward to tonight's story, but she doubts this would be a thing she'd need to tempt Envix with. 'I want to have you learn how to fly in the air, like one of your children is doing Envix. I did see the longing in your eyes, and I am certain with those wings of yours you'd eventually be able to pick up on it, and not just to have it be attached to you in order to imitate some form of a bird.' She finishes with a grin, certain that Envix would indeed be interested in it. *16 - Envix LV 30.1 LY 25.1 Saar LV 9.1, LY 9.1

The widening of her eyes showed her surprise at what she just now suggested, and when she leaned forward, completely ignoring Saar, and the way her wings are spread wide, with one of them even sinking inside Saar’s body, she knew that no further means of temptation are needed for her to learn this. ‘Of course, I don’t expect it to be easy for you when you are more spiritual tied, but still got the wings. Plenty of spiritual tied beings are able to glide at least. But I think, with your wings, you’d be able to do it. Just takes a lot of practice. She warns, but the fond look she sends Envix at her reaction to it all, lets her convey to her Lurker companion that she didn’t think it would deter her one bit. ‘How do we start this?’ The eagerness dripping from her words, where usually there is none, is a startling change to hear from her. But then again, this could be seen as a way to gain more freedom for what she wants to do. Taking a couple more steps away from them, she Looks in Saar’s direction for only a moment and sees him staring at her, his head cocked sideways while confusion shines in them. Right, she’d need to start training him some more tricks as well, or just one so that no rope is needed anymore.

Looking back in Envix direction, she moves her body in a way that Envix can see her side, and more importantly, watch her arms. ‘The first step of this will be that you need to get the movements rights. I’ve seen you flap your wings before like this,’ Here she flaps her arms wildly up and down in a imitation of it. ‘but that will just make you spend your energy too much on it, and not in a good way. I want you to slowly move your wings like this.’ This time she moved her hands up, but at the highest point curled her hand slightly as if she is holding a cup upside down at the bottom part, her hands leaning more forwards, but not too much past her head. Then moving them down still in slow motion. ‘It will be important that your wings are bend, but not so much that they might be closed.’ She repeated the motion six more times then stopped, and turned towards Envix. ‘Of course with you being not on a physical plane, I think another component will be needed to actually make it work, but I feel that getting the movements right first. Is more important right now.’ Her attention was momentarily derailed when she hears a snorting come from Saar as he moves away from them, sniffing the grass, and probably being content to just be left alone for now so that he can munch on the grass undisturbed.

‘Right, let’s start then.’ She hears the eager tone in Envix’s voice when she says that, making her smile and turn her attention back to what they are doing. ‘Right, let’s show me the movement Envix. I might not be able to help you adjust physically to it, but I can give you pointers.’ Walking closer to her Lurker, she watches how Envix squints her eyes in concentration, trying her best to mimic the movements she made with her hands a minute ago. Already she could tell it needs adjusting from what she remembers how Rayak moves his wings in battle. Coming even closer, she watches the sides of Envix, even on her third round with the wing movements she can tell its unsure on her part. ‘Okay, lets start with this part here, can you turn your head Envix?’ She says in her mind towards her, going on one knee as she has a feeling this will take a while.

Instead of just turning her neck slightly as she had expected, Envix made her fall down on her butt from surprise when she elongated her neck, and then turned it towards her direction. “Hey!” She snaps for a second, eyebrows twitching as she closes her eyes, takes a deep breath in, and opens them again. “I thought you wanted to learn this instead of making jokes right now.” She mutters, and the amused air around Envix disappears as she hears it, she had been making sure to both say it out loud, and think on those words carefully. She’d rather not be pranked by her right now, not when trying to correct her form before it even starts. ‘Now pay attention, and no jokes, please?’ She half asks of Envix and demands at the same time. Looking slightly contrite she hears the familiar haunting tones in the voice. ‘Alright, I’ll keep try my best to contain myself for now.’ It wasn’t exactly the promise she hoped for, but better something then nothing.

Nodding at that, she points at the part of the wings that with birds would be called the first digit. ‘This here you need to bend more, as well as relax, it needs to be a smooth motion. Your trying to catch the air, contain it for just long enough in the down stroke that you need to capture the air again when going for the high stroke.’ She tries showing Envix what she means by making the arm motion again of holding a cup upside down at the bottom part while raising her arm, then lowering it and letting go of the imaginary cup, and up again as if holding that cup. ‘See? Now try again, slow and relaxed.’ She hopes her smile encourages Envix only more as she watches how the wing movements is done. It doesn’t quite look like she is ‘catching’ the air in her upstroke. But at least the motion is smoother this time.

‘Better.’ She nods at Envix, then points at the second digit, making her other hand curl slightly. ‘Still, you need to catch the air by curling this part, almost.. Yes! Just like that!’ She says in a excited tone, as Envix moves it in slow motion at just the right parts. Currently it might not do anything for her, neither would it help when she does the motion in a fast manner she thinks, but the way she sees it, flying or fluttering as she is trying to teach her is probably done in two components, the movement, and the mentality to will your wings to harden and affect the surrounding. Much like Ethereal Claw she muses. ‘Again Envix, you faltered just now on the down stroke, releasing it too soon.’ She points out when she sees that Envix wanted to make another grab at the air before finishing her motion. ‘Your doing good Envix! Keep it up!.’ And she really did, already at least in the slow motion it is starting to look good.

When she notices after a bit that Envix when trying to grasp the air with her wings again while looking at what might be in front of her, started to tense and falter. She decides that for the twenty minutes that they are practicing this, it might be best to take a break, and work on what she thinks might possible be the second component for this. ‘Alright Envix, that’s enough for now, come sit?’ She pats the ground near to her as she starts sitting down, then crosses her legs to sit in a more comfortable position. Envix tilts her head in confusion at the words, still trying to make the right motion with her wings. ‘Come on Envix! There is more to this than just getting the motion right in order to lift in the sky.’ She grins, glad at least that Envix really wants to learn this. When Envix finally stops and comes closer to her, she started sinking to the ground in order to be at eye height with her. ‘And that is?’ She tilts her head slightly to the sight in a curious manner.

Rolling her shoulders in order to get herself to relax some as well with the position she is in right now, she picks her words carefully as she picks on a subject, she knows Envix should know. ‘You know how, when using Shadow Strike you use your claws to touch my shadow right?’ Seeing Envix nod she continuous while making a hand motion of claws slashing the air. ‘When you do, do you feel your energy so to speak harden at those points of your fingers or claws,’ She wasn’t certain what they could be classified as, but they certainly seem longer then claws. She sees Envix tilt her head momentarily to the side as the glow in her eyes dim, not quite a squint, but perhaps a thinking pose? A moment later Envix eyes glow again as she seemingly stares at her clawed hand, making a slashing motion as well. Yet, her eyes sharpen at the sight, something looks different, sharper perhaps? Or denser with its shadows? She isn’t too certain about it, but for some reason it makes her think of the move Shadow Strike without being currently actually used on someone.

Staring at Envix curiously, she says. ‘So? What do you feel?’ She wants to make certain this will work out for Envix, what they are doing is just the first step of training fly when she is in the air. She suspects that it will be up to endurance more then just flying correctly after a while. ‘I don’t exactly feel,’ She deadpans to her, making her grin slightly at that answer, it was so very true in a sense. ‘but it is denser when I do it.’ Nodding at that answer, for it was something she hoped for, she says. “Good, that is likely what your wings will need to feel too. Denser. Just enough to make you lift off or have the wind catch you.’ With the eyes dimming as the head is more aimed towards the ground, she wonders if she already started applying for that theory. Her wings certainly kept their normal density for now, or at least the larger parts.

Squinting and tilting her head to the side, she keeps staring at the wings. ‘Where exactly do you try applying it first Envix?’ For she really didn’t see much right now that indicated it. ‘My back, I think that might be the best to start.’ She says softly with the mental voice only being slightly strained. Looking at her back, she can’t tell yet if anything is happening. But the concentration that Envix gave it made her wait with saying anything further. After a while she started noticing a slight change in the wings, it did become denser at the back, but was slowly spreading itself on her wings. ‘Your doing great Envix1’ She comments cheerfully, and regretted saying it a moment later as it broke her concentration. The density disappeared, and she got a baleful glare from her Lurker companion. Looking contrite at her, she says weakly. ‘Sorry, I spoke too soon.’ If Envix could snort, she would have probably done that, but after staring at her for a bit, she looked away.

Hopefully she is forgiven, but privately she thinks it would be best to have her be able to focus on more then one thing, as what she is trying to learn will still need to be done together with the wing movements. Still, Envix will probably find that out when she starts combining it. Looking carefully at her form, she can see her focusing once more at getting her wings to be denser then they already are with its shadows. The darkness growing thicker and less see-through than before till finally even the wing tips are done. Waiting a moment to see if she’d lose concentration on her own, she wonders if she is learning this so quickly because of her intelligence. Still, intelligence will only get you so far if you can’t apply both the practical aspect, and theoretical one. ‘Now try to move them, slowly.’ She says in a softer tone when to Envix when she didn’t try to apply the first thing they practiced on her own, and not wanting to make the mistake of saying things loudly again. Seeing her hunch down, still focused Envix tried to move her wings, just slightly, but she could tell her concentration broke. The density disappearing in her wings.

When that happened, Envix started to straighten up, turning her in the direction of her back, probably staring at her wings and mayhaps even in offense. ‘This is harder then I thought.’ She hears Envix comment, frustration leaking in her voice. Straightening up as well with her words, she nods at that. ‘All things worth it will be hard, but I know you can do it. And Envix?’ She says, waiting for her to turn her head in her direction. ‘I would have been very surprised if you where able to do it all on your first try. Its okay to break concentration, and loose the density for now, its to expected when you haven’t learned to multitask yet. Just keep going and you’ll figure out how to eventually! Your already doing great in the.. Half hour now I think? Since we started with this all.’ She waves her arm as if to swat something softly away from her shoulder, Envix focusses only on the movement for a second, before looking back at her face. ‘We have plenty of time to perfect this, don’t worry.’ She end her speech, smiling softly at her.

Seeing Envix look thoughtful at that, her head lowered just slightly as if staring at the grass, she gives a bigger smile to her. ‘i]Lets try again, once you can apply both, I may try to end your concentration till the point you don’t lose your focus, when that happens. We can start trying to make your wing pace go faster, its all baby steps right now.[/i]’ Envix didn’t exactly respond to her words, but the hunched form she takes again alerts her to the fact she is trying once more at least. Her claws seem to almost be gripping the ground as she flexes her wings before stilling them. She suspects Envix will first try with the density, and then moving them. Looking carefully at her wings, she did see it starting to darken again, only a little less this time? She isn’t too certain of that, but it looks to her like Envix might be trying to approach it from a different direction? Seeing if that helps better?
