Snippet #2134835

Mike was ready to step in at moment, his eyes were focused. Too concerned to daydream for even a moment. Mike continued circling, angling so the circle would grow in size. The war hardened Vampire hid his approval, and happiness for Alice well. He cracked a smile for only a fraction of a second. Mike couldn't afford to get attached to Alice in anyway, even if it was just pride of her acheivements. Mike noted her ability to fly, atleast she was better then Mike. When she looked to him, he gave a nod of approval.

"You did great, I fell on my face a few times before I could even fly at all. You're a natural, When you want to land just get as close to the ground, flare your wings a few times to reduce speed." Mike motioned her to follow, and altered his heading ever so slightly. Mike gave himself a wide berth, as he didn't want to hurt Alice with his larger wings. The city lights guided Mike across the moonlit terrain. He calmly shifted his weight, and flew closer to Alice. His voice boomed over the wind.

"We'll be landing at the edge of the forest, we wouldn't want any bird kids seeing our approach." Mike pointed down at the edge in the distance. After a few minutes of flying, they arrived at the landing point. Mike tucked his wings in, and plummeted, after he was only a few feet from the ground, he started flaring. Mike hit the ground running, from there he slowed it into a jog, then into a walk.

"Now your turn. I'm sure you'll handle this rather nicely." Mike called up to Alice. Leaves rustled around Mike, as the night air called to him. He was tired, but he still had a job to do. He was to protect and teach Alice, but maybe after that Gunther would focus more on the bridkids. Mike could just slip away without anyone noticing.
