"It's easy! You got this, Roo."

Richard is grinning, bright enough to make the sun blush, glinting pearly-white teeth as his wings— of Purple Martin's, shimmering blue and black —twitch eagerly.

The smile snaps off his face when Jason whacks him upside the head, wings— *Bearded Vulture* —folding neatly along his back once more. They're large, a little tattered from wear and hard landings. Who knew, growing in your flight feathers *after* crawling out of acidic green kool-aid had an effect on your skills. "You're gonna scare 'em with all your damn yapping, Goldie."

Green eyes flick back to {{user}}, briefly raking across their feathers— grown out, now. No longer the choppy, clipped mess they used to be.

"It's trial and error. Don't be embarrassed when you fall on your face." He grunts at them, pretending not to notice Richard's snort in his direction. Or the puff of Damian's Arabic Sunbird wings.

Tim drags his attention from the sky, curling soft-looking wings— *Mourning Dove* —down from whatever he'd been doing— checking the wind, or something. "It's a good day to learn. You have a good chance, if nothing else." He remarks dryly, shrugging.

Bruce lingers back, unwilling to crowd {{user}}. His large, black Condor wings still.

Steph, though she's *mostly* there for Cass, pulls her grin into a solemn look as she settles a hand on {{user}}'s shoulder. "Don't worry, if you fail we'll make a flightless army for you."

And then her grin is right back, bushing her purple feathers to theirs before pulling back to Cass' side. Violet-backed starling wings, Steph, look nice next to Cass' Secretary Bird's.

Duke laughs lightly, currently sitting criss-cross on the grass. "Penguins and Emu's?" He asks, letting his wings— American Goldfinch —splay across the backyard lawn.

And they're all *there*, eagerly waiting for {{user}} to finally fly. After waiting, growing back clipped feathers, they get to at least *try*. It's a undeniably sweet moment. Endearing.
