His fur feels smooth and soft at most parts, but the hair is slightly rougher at the paws. About fifteen minutes later she started to stand up, waking Rayak from his sleep as he becomes alert, watching the surrounding for a moment then looking back at her curiously. ‘Its time we go at it again Rayak.’ She says while stretching herself, becoming more alert when she is done. ‘Right, ready when you are in just a.. sec..’ He says while stretching himself out and summoning his first set of wings again, folding them neatly behind his back. Once he seemed ready she smiles while saying. “Rayak use Dash!” And sees him running with more speed then just before they took their brake, giving it his all. “Rayak use fly.”
She shouted, glad that he didn’t get surprised too easily with sudden commands being shouted at him. He jumps in the air, his wings easily catching the air and releasing it in deep strokes, rising higher. “Your doing good Rayak!” She calls out to him, and waits a minute before saying. “Rayak use dash!” Rayak dives to the ground, stretching his wings wide just before he hits the ground to make his landing softer, then starts running while folding his wings. It all happened quite quickly, waiting for a moment she then calls out again. “Rayak use fly!” Rayak is quick to respond, jumping in the air and stretching out his wings. She blinks in surprise at seeing him summon his second set now, changing his flight pattern to be both smoother and less hurried as both set of wings catch the air and release it, only.. The set of wings do it at different times to make it seem that he isn’t doing a up and down motion with them anymore. ‘Why the change of pace?’ She couldn’t help but ask him as she watches him fly high up in the air in circles now. ‘I felt like I needed to, plus it makes flying even easier for me. Its just on land its more cumbersome to do it like that.’ She hears him say idly.

“A change of pace huh?” She mutters to herself, thinking about what else she could do to make it interesting. Her eyes light up as a idea comes to mind with it. ‘Alright, if you want a change of pace.. You know how Pidgeon’s fly right?’ She asks, then quickly calls out, “Rayak use Dash!” when he is staying a bit too long in the air. ‘Yes, I might have.’ He says while diving to the ground with folded wings, and unfolding them just before he might have hit the earth, letting the wind catch him just enough before he lands and starts running once more. ‘When your up in the sky again I want you to flap your wings together loudly, I want to hear a nice loud sound coming from it that I could even hear it on the ground. Think you can do it Rayak? Pidgeon’s do that all the time when they fly fast.’ ‘I think that is doable for me, ready when you are.’ He says with interest in his voice while continuing to run. “Alright then, Rayak use Fly!” She calls out, laughing slightly in joy as she sees him make a jump, then catch the air when he stretches his wings and makes a downwards stroke to go higher, stretching his wings more and more the higher he gets. ‘Try it now Rayak, I think your high enough, make a nice loud noise with it.’ She murmurs towards him, smiling when she sees him try to smack his wings together. She didn’t hear the result of it sadly, still not loud enough. ‘C’mon Rayak, you can do it, try to make it louder.’ She says in a encouraging tone, she can definitely see him trying. His wings each other at both the downward and upwards stroke, but she’d probably need to strain her hearing to even hear it right now. ‘Louder Rayak! I don’t hear a thing from you while on the ground.’ She can see Rayak turn his head in her direction, watching her reaction as he tries once more to smack his wings together. Did she hear something from it? It could have been something else, the noise was too soft.

Shaking her head she could almost see Rayak droop at her negative reaction. “Rayak use Dash!” He has been too long in the air, time to bring him down to earth again. ‘Nothing huh?’ He murmurs towards her from inside her mind, the disappointing tones heard clearly in it as he starts to dive for the ground near her. ‘Well, its often you can’t have everything going nearly so well if their isn’t a bit of strife with it as well to make up for the parts It is going too well.’ She answers him back, closing her eyes when he stretched out his wings to catch the air again, and feeling the burst of wind hit her face. When she hears him start to run she opens her eyes again. ‘Try to smack your wings now on the ground, I’d like to hear you do it while your running.’’ A soft growl was what she got to hear from Rayak. ‘I’m going to end up with bruised wings at some point.’ He grumbles back, and slows his running just enough so that he can concentrate with smacking his wings together on the upwards stroke, loudly.
She jumps at that sound. ‘That is definitely the one I was hoping to hear, but it doesn’t sound too loud at all up in the air.’ Rayak ran around her as she mentioned this, and realizing she is keeping him too long on the ground, she wants to say ‘fly’ but what comes out of her mouth instead is. “Use Dash again!” He does seems to be getting better at flying now, so running just a bit more shouldn’t be too much of a problem. ‘What?! Oh come on, I can try to do it again in the air.’ She hears him say, and watching him she can see why he is asking it. His energy Is flagging again. ‘Nope, just continue to use short bursts of speed, and smack those wings of yours Rayak! All of them, please?’ She had noticed him doing it only with his bigger set, perhaps with the smaller se- Smack! She froze for just a second, did that one seem just a tiny bit louder? “Use Dash Rayak!” She calls out when seeing him flag, and tries not to wince when he stumbled with a tree root.

He can definitely use more endurance with this. ‘Smack all of them again with the upwards stroke. I think that one might be it.’ She mutters to him, smiling when she sees him try to run just that little bit faster again when she asked it of him, even while he is starting to pant once more. She sees him close his eyes for only a second, focusing on his wings to smack all of them together. She winces at hearing the sound, this is definitely the one she is looking for, but will it be just as loudly as up in the air now? ‘Alright Rayak, I’m calling the effect of when you smack your wings together ‘Thunder’, when I say that word I want you to try and do it, okay?’ Rayak seemed to be beyond words now as he keeps on running, his wings folded on his back so that they won’t get in the way. Seeing as no answer is forthcoming, she calls out to him, “Rayak use fly!” in a loud and clear tone.
Hearing this Rayak didn’t hesitate to go up in the air and give his legs some rest, jumping as high as needed to catch the wind under his wings and then fly high up again. “Thunder!” She calls out, and sees Rayak hesitate at the unfamiliar word. “Thunder Rayak!” She calls out again, asking him in a way to remember what she said to him through the mind link. After a few seconds Rayak seems to get what exactly she is asking. He flies a little bit closer to her, then tries to smack his wings together. This time she can hear them, but it didn’t feel too satisfying to hear. The sound still softer then on the ground. ‘Louder Rayak, c’mon you can do it!’ “Thunder!” She calls out once more, this time Rayak flies past her smacking his wings without hesitation and goes up once more. She flinches at the sound. This, this is definitely what she wanted from him.

‘Good job Rayak! That is exactly what I wanted to hear!’ She praises him with pride clear in her voice. “Again Rayak! Thunder!” She calls out and sees Rayak turn around midflight to go towards her. Face determinedly watching her as he proceeds to do just that, smacking his wings in both the downwards and upwards stroke in a loud crack! ‘That’s good, very good Rayak!’ She couldn’t help but comment further. Smiling as she sees him fly high again. “Rayak use Dash!” She didn’t want him to become too used to doing it up in the air. Rayak dives with an annoyed growl stuck in his throat as he unfolds his wings just before he might have hit the ground, softening his fall and folding them up while he runs again. She nods with a pleased smile at his compliance knowing that this must be getting annoying for him, still he seems to be getting better. Already they are doing this longer then the last time they took a break. “Rayak use Thunder!” She calls out to him, and sees him unfold his wings in a quick motion, it makes her think of a half-aborted flight pattern, almost like he forgot that she asked for thunder and not fly to be used. “Rayak use Thunder!” She calls out, and this time he does the full needed motion for smacking all his wings together in one load crack! “Yes! That’s it Rayak!” She praises him, and seeing him flag slightly in speed she calls out. “Rayak use Dash!” Growling in annoyance Rayak speeds up again, his breathing became just a little bit heavier but no where near the panting he did in the beginning.

‘Keep it up Rayak, I think we are almost done now.’ She comments, making his ears that have been laying flatter with each more command finally perk up at that news. “Rayak use Thunder!” She calls out, and sees Rayak almost eagerly perform the motion with his wings, smacking them loudly against each other. The crack really started to sound like its namesake. “Perfect! Again Rayak! Thunder!” She calls out, her voice tinted with enthusiasm. Rayak sped up in his speed when he himself started to notice first that he is getting slower in his running, then he unfolded his wings in a quick motion to smack them together, just as loud as before. The sound makes her twitch even though she had expected it. ‘That’s good Rayak, slow down with running but don’t stop yet. Let your muscles calm down.’ She says with joy in her voice, Rayak noticed the change in her tone as he starts to slow down with running. ‘We are done now than?’ He still sounds tired, but not as much as last time luckily. ‘Yes Rayak, we are done with running or dashing now. Slow your pace to walking now.’ She comments as she sees Rayak perk up at not needing to run any longer now. She watches carefully as he starts walking, making sure he hadn’t been straining himself too much with what she had kept asking him to do. His walking gait seems to go smoothly, no hitch or wince while he places one paw in front of the other. She smiles as his breathing starts to become normal again as well, this definitely helps him get his breathing normal again. ‘Alright, that is enough now Rayak. You can drink some water if you want.’ She says with a nod in the direction of the water bowl, smiling as he watches her for a second. ‘Are you planning for us to go home now?’ He questions her as he starts turning around to head for the bowl, definitely eager to get rid of his thirst while he lets his wings be summoned back into himself. They’ve been at it for an hour or two with only one break in between.

‘No. I don’t think so. There are still some things you could learn in a relaxing manner that will only require your voice.’ She chuckles as a thought pops into her mind. ‘Its like getting music lesson!’ She couldn’t help but comment, clapping her hands together while grinning. Rayak stopped lapping at the water, turning his head in her direction with bewilderment. ‘My voice? Music lessons? What is that supposed to mean?!’ Water drips off his jaw as his attention is focused on her. ‘Right, well, like I said this one will require only your voice and how you say the things out loud. Standing might not even be needed!’ She says cheerfully as she watches Rayak lick his front paw and then rub it against his jaw before repeating the motion. ‘Sometimes I really wonder where you get these strange ideas from.’ He comments idly, and when he is finished with cleaning his jaw from the water droplets, he walks closer again to her. Kneeling down she scratches him under the chin when he comes closer. ‘I could say the same about you.’ She comments with a smile, stroking his head for a second, then switching to rubbing behind his ear. ‘Want to try it then? These ones should be easy enough for you. You’d just need to find the right pitches for it.’ Rayak purrs loudly at getting his head scratched in just the right way, opening only one eye to stare at her face. ‘If it will get me more of this, then sure.’ He sits down while leaning his head against her hand. ‘Alright, then I want you to first start with roaring out loud. Its like a purr, but done so loud that it terrifies the prey from moving. Like Galabex, I’m sure you’ve seen a few with the times we went out much more in the past.’ She comments, touching his chest and feeling his purring reverberates almost through her.

Rayak turns his head in her direction at that. ‘Like purring, huh? That definitely sounds easy enough..’ He nods. ‘Alright, I’d like to try it then.’ He flicks his ear to the side as he watches her move slightly behind him. ‘Right then, try it now please, I’ll say if your getting there or not.’ She comments idle, scratching his back and gaining a loud purr of appreciation back before it stutters to a stop. She scratches his back slower. Waiting for him to start. “Grrr? GGRRRrrrr? Grrraww? Grrrr?!” She smiles as she hears him pitch his purring into different tones. ‘Not quite Rayak, it goes with the whole throat, and in a loud tone, again, please.’ She says, scratching his neck in apology for getting his hopes up in it being an easy one. Rayak settles himself in a better position, leaning against her hands as he wraps his tail around himself, then tries further with pitching the tone just right. “Rrrr? Gggrrrr! Rrrar!” She perks up at the last sound, that one could be the right one, she scratches his neck as she comments in her mind. ‘The last one, try that one again please.’ She feels Rayak nod, showing he heard her ask that, and starts to position himself better. “Rrraaarrr!” He growls more then roars out, but it’s a start.

‘Again Rayak, and louder, you really must mean it. Think off… Hmm.. Like Claw stealing your share of the meat, and instead of giving it back he only sneers at your attempts of being polite?’ She knows Rayak and Claw seems to have a rivalry going on with who is the boss, and Claw not exactly backing down from either him or Raja in order to become the alpha of the pride. She feels Rayak grumble at the thought when she puts her hand on his chest, but it seems to trigger something at least with giving that example. “RRAAWWRR!” She jumps in shock at what definitely sounds like a roar! Even some of the birds that where in the tree’s twitter in fright as they fly away from them, they hadn’t even been that scared when she had Rayak use Thunder! ‘Well look at that, there is a real lion under your skin.’ She comments with a smile, scratching his shoulder idly as Rayak looks up at her face, ‘So this was good?’ She nods at him, pleased at his question. ‘Yep, this is the one, now want to try again? I want you to learn this one instinctively so I will be shouting out near you ‘Roar’ it might sound just as unfamiliar to you as thunder was, but just remember I will only be shouting that one word alright?’ She comments, and sees Rayak nod at her, then turns his face away from her, she can see his muscles tense as he braces himself. “RAAAWRR!” “Roar!” She shouts over his voice, this time making Rayak jump when he ends his roar. She did say she was going to do that. ‘Good Rayak, now try again please.’ Scratching behind his head she can feel him lean towards her hand for a few seconds, enjoying the contact.

Once Rayak felt like he was ready once more, she felt his muscles tense. “RAWWRRR!!” “Roar!” She shouts right after him in order to be cleared better. And this time Rayak did anticipate she was going to do that, just as she anticipated how loud he became when roaring at the tree’s and grass, Smiling she scratches his back. “Again Rayak.” He perks up at the mention of again, he knows what she means with that word considering how often she not only said it today but with his past training as well. She can feel him brace himself, and just before he might have started, she says in a clear tone of voice.
“Roar!” With just a few seconds after Rayak’s own joining in. “RRAAWWWWRR!!” This one seemed to be his longest yet, but just as loud as the last one. “Very good Rayak! That one was excellent!” She praises him, rubbing him behind the ears with her hands and hearing him purr loudly, she laughs at the sound. It could almost rival that of his roar. After a few seconds she feels Rayak tense again. “Roar!” She calls out just before he dd. “RRRAAAAWWWWWWRRRRR!” This one must be his longest yet. “Again Rayak, Roar!” She shouts, belying the harsh tones in her voice with the soft scratching of her nails against his back. Rayak tenses again, positioning himself slightly in a comfortable position. “Roar Rayak!” She calls out and sees his ears flatten before perking up again and letting out once more a mighty roar. “RAWWWWRRR!!” Perhaps not the longest one yet, but still just as loud. ‘Doing great Rayak! Lets try for something else in order to variate with this alright?’ Rayak turns his head in her direction, eyeing her curiously as his ears are pointed more in her direction as well.

‘Like what?’ He says, and she sees him watching how her body language slowly turns slightly sheepish as she tries to figure out how to say it in the gentlest of ways. Well, you know that sound female cats make when in heath? That yowling? Only so much more annoying and painful to the ears?’ Rayak’s ears flatten more and more at her words, a slow growl could be heard coming from within his chest. ‘And you want me to pretend to be a female? Heck! What makes you even think I am near one when they are like that?!’ She hears his undertone growled as it sounds seeping with the same embarrassment she feels. ‘Well, since you’re the leader of the pride.. I just naturally assumed you’d be getting it on.’ She alludes this further with certain hand gestures at her explanation, but Rayak just stared strangely at what she tried to show, clearly not knowing what she could mean with it. ‘Heck no.’ He shakes his head wildly from side to side. ‘They are already committed to others, nor do I feel any interest with them at all’ He uses his tail to suddenly smack her upside the head, “Ouch!” She yelps. ‘I’m waiting for someone that is committed to me alone, and not have these short bouts of matings all the time that the others do then break off and come together again when they’d feel like it, and you seem to think I am like that, really..?’ He says in a flabbergasted tone, rubbing her head she didn’t know what to say to him really. She always thought with how big his pride is, that he’d had plenty of choice in females, and while true. It seems he doesn’t like the idea of it not being a lifetime commitment? Well, its hardly something she is going to be arguing about if he is against the idea, still.

‘Back on topic now. Can you try to imitate the sound? I know that one is so loud and annoying other people would try to run away from it as fast as possible in order to not hear it any longer.’ Rayak’s ears are still flat on his face as his nostrils flare when taking a deep breath, staring at her the whole time with a unreadable look in his eyes. ‘I could, but why should I embarrass my self with it?’ The growls she could hear going on inside his throat at least showed he really wasn’t so happy with the implication. ‘No one else besides another Mosca would know, and you’ll be stronger for it too! People will fear you!’ She tries, and sees Rayak shake his head. ‘People fearing a Mosca, in a state of heath? Your joking!’ His tail lashes around him, but luckily he didn’t seem to try and want to whack her with it again. ‘I’m not joking Rayak! Really, I am not. Its just, the yowling would act similar towards others when used in combat situations like it would be done with Roar.’ She sighs, ‘there is nothing to be embarrassed about Rayak, it doesn’t demean your, err.. Little Rayak?’ She tries, and gets another swat on her head, this time at least softer. “Do you really need to hit me when I haven’t even done that to you?” She mumbles, not even thinking on her words subconsciously this time, so Rayak didn’t understand what she just now said. If Rayak could sigh, he probably would have done so as she stares at him with beseeching eyes. Imploring him to at least try for her. ‘Alright fine! Stop with those eyes!’ He gives in at the end, ears still flat as he looks away from her, tail lashing out.

She grins at that, knowing she is just as weak for his eyes when he tries it on her. ‘This is going to be so embarrassing.’ She hears Rayak say to her in a grumbling tone of voice, she wasn’t so sure if it is really that embarrassing, but to preserve his dignity.. ‘Don’t worry Rayak, in all the tournaments we have been in together, and in others you weren’t signed up for, I’ve never seen another Mosca in the pit. Don’t think of this as embarrassing, think of it more as showing people the Mosca race is not to be messed with, hmm?’ She smiles softly at him, she hopes he won’t keep seeing it like something to be embarrassed about while they do this, and mayhaps at some point he will take pride in being able to do this as well. ‘Now try it Rayak, we need to get the pitch just right for it to work, and I think this one might be even more difficult to get right then roaring in rage would be./i[‘ She comments, petting him on the head and messing up his headband slightly. At some point she will need to retie it again so that it will sit perfectly on his head once more. Rayak turns himself a bit more away from her, settling his body in such a way to make himself feel more comfortable. Tail going around his legs flicking at the tip hints that he is nervous about this, while his ears kept laying flat on his head. Scratching his neck gently, she waits for him to begin while bracing herself for the loud noise. This won’t be pleasant to hear for her either. “Yiiioooowww!” Rayak tries, hesitantly. The pitch definitely not the right one she is looking for, something Rayak knew instinctively when she didn’t comment on it, and opened his mouth a few seconds later again. “Mreeeowww!” She raised her eyebrow at that one, not certain if that one was actually trying to imitate a cat poorly, while being a cat. “Mreeeeeooooyyyooowwww!” She winced slightly at the loud tone of that one assaulting her ears, still not quite right, but he is getting there. ‘That was the one almost.’ She mutters to him, making him perk up with his ears before they flatten again, Knowing he’d need to repeat himself.

“MREEEYYYOOWLL!” She twitched slightly at that, that sound was just way off key compared to the one before, didn’t even sound terrifying at all. ‘Alright.. maybe we should table this for later, and just.. do Roar?’ She says questioningly, not certain how Rayak would respond to that, but by the way he perks up and his ears are actually not laying flat anymore, she thinks he wouldn’t mind it at all. ‘I’d like that a whole lot more, whatever you meant with singing lessons.. This doesn’t feel like it.’ He says, ears flatten for only a moment before he perks up, looking away from her. She hears a rumbling coming from his throat. “RAAAWWWRRR!!” He says out loud, making her wince. “Roar!” She says belatedly when he is done. And when Rayak turns his head towards her, she can see the end of his mouth pulling up while his teeth are in full sight. ‘Your grinning about this huh?’ She sends the thought to him, bumping his shoulder lightly. Rayak sneezes at that. ‘Absolutely.’ He says with no regret in his voice. Sighing she wonders if Envix and Rayak had recently been communicating with each other, and influenced each other’s behavior. Something that is rather unlikely considering they can’t communicate with each other, and she would have heard them talk inside her mind if they tried communicating that way. ‘Lets just continue okay? Do it again, nice and loud please.’ She says, deciding to ignore his devil may care attitude for now.

“Roar!” She shouts behind him, pressing a hand on his chest to feel the rumbling turn into what it is meant to do when he opens his mouth. “RAAAWRRRR!” He ends it in a snarl, lips turned to make his face look like he is scowling at whatever he is looking at. ‘That one both sounds and looks terrifying.’ She says with a smile, scratching his back slightly and turning his scowl into a more relaxed expression while he purrs. “Again Rayak, don’t get too distracted now. Roar!” She says in a loud and clear tone, brooking no arguments should he have tried any on her. When the rumbling tones start to come, she smiles. “Roar!” She says again just before he starts. “RAAAAWWWWRRRR!!!” She winces, slapping her hands against her ears in order to not be affected to much with his voice, this one might be one of his loudest yet. ‘Perfect Rayak, do that one again.’ She sends the thought to him, keeping her hands on her ears while saying. “Roar Rayak!” Smiling grimly at him, not that he turned his head towards her luckily. She really wouldn’t look forward at getting the full blast of his roar at her face, she doubts even covering her hands on her ears would help against the pain from such a loud noise. “RRRAAAAWWWRRRR!!” Is it just her, or is it only becoming louder? “Again Rayak! Roar!” She says, wanting to make certain it really is getting louder. He snarls for a second before the rumbling tones are coming back. She leans back slightly, away from him. “RRAAAWWWWWRRRRrrrr!!” He didn’t let up that quickly, instead, he slowly lets it die down and turn into a purr as he looks up at her with expectant eyes. Grinning she lets up on holding her hands tightly against her ears, instead she started to scratch him softly on top of the head and chest. ‘That went great Rayak! I think you’ve learned this one now.’ She comments with a smile. Rayak grins at that, his tail curling around himself for a moment before he moves it to lay behind him. ‘It doesn’t sound like you intent this one to be the last for today?’ She shakes her head at that as Rayak starts to stand up and make a full turn in order to face her as she starts to stand up.
