Rachel Pateko was seated on a hill, waiting for his student of the day to arrive. Apparently, he was to have Mareike again which didn't seem so bad. The Wrath girl had been pretty easy to handle last time and he doubted she'd give him too much trouble, provided he was reasonable with her.
They were to be outside on the grass today since he was to be teaching her to fly. Or well, hopefully. He might just be teaching her some wing exercises, depending on what size they'd grown to last time.

Mareike walked towards the hill in question, where she;d been directed to go for her class with Rachel, the young woman looked forward to seeing the teacher again, his last class had been interesting if nothing else. Mareike had never really found the time in her life to paint for more than brief moment but when she did she thought of Rachel and the glee she;d felt at being able to paint on the walls.
As she approached the man the young girl waved " I see that the b*****d hasn't managed to scare you off yet" It always awed Mareike that anyone agreed to work for vampy especially decent people like her teacher appeared to be.

Rachel shrugged as he stood. "Luckily for me, I haven't had to see the creep since I got the job." the man explained, grinning at Mareike.
"Well, you sure got taller. How've you been?"

"Not bad" The girl replied " Have a pesky little brother now but otherwise ok," Honestly Taylor wasn't half bad but he wasn't really useful either. " Being taller and older is pretty cool for the most part" Mareike admitted. " so what's on the agenda for today?"

"Well, depending on what you feel up to, either wing exercises or trying to fly."

Mareike looked thoughtful, she wanted to fly, she really did but she also knew her back muscles , at least when it came to her wings were not what they should be. " Exercises are probably best" she said with a bit of a sigh. The maroon skinned girl would rather not injure herself trying to fly once and end up delaying her ability to do so again becuase of it. Maybe she could come back for more lessons when her muscles were strong enough.

Rachel nodded. "I take it you've been out of practice because it's been so cold?" he commented, looking around at the patches of snow and browned spots in the grass, "I honestly think we're lucky to have gotten a snow free day for a change. Otherwise we'd be stuck inside."
Nodding to Mareike, he suggested the first activity. "I think for now we should start out with just stretching out your wings at all and making sure you can still move them without hurting anything before we get to more complex stuff."

Mareike nodded and stretched her wings out to full length. " It's too cold to have my wings extended most of the time, plus there isn't a great deal of places where I can without knocking into someone." For all that Gaia was filled with winged beings the general assumption was that they'd keep their wings tucked to their backs when walking down the streets or in stores. the maroon skinned girl took any advantage she could to enjoy wide open spaces though.
Her muscles though underused seemed to be in working order. her feathers settled naturally and everything seemed to be as it should be " Ok I'm good for whatever is next"

"All right. Next up you should prolly try to set them into a slightly curved position and move them around - individually at first since it gets a little uncomfortable." the man explained, extending one of his wings and setting it into a position one would use for gliding, moving it forward and backward a little, before switching wings and repeating.
(PLease note, teh Deeg is COMPLETELY bsing here. Do not blame Rachel for this)

The Maroon skinned girl nodded and copied Rachel's motions, it felt weird to be certain but if it was necessary she would do it. " So once my muscles are strong enough to help my wings support me how long do you think it'll take me to actually learn to fly?" Mareike asked. She wasn't adverse to walking or anything but it would be very cool to be able to fly every now and again.

After doing that motion for a few minutes, Rachel showed her the next movement, transitioning between the two rather nicely, "Depends highly on the strength of your wings, how much you practice, and your weight. You're rather physically active so you've built up muscle which increases your weight and might make you heavier to lift so you have to build up your wing strength a lot to be able to lift that and stay up for a while. I'm not completely familiar with the flight capabilities of your kind so I can't give you a very good estimate, I'm sorry."

Mareike nodded, clearly there were too many different variables involved for Rachel to know. Her weight wasn't really an issue she could change either because it was mostly muscle and she'd never give that up just to fly. Still if she could get the rest of her strong enough to lift her than she would. Heck even gliding would be ok. Continuing the exercises she smiled a bit at Rachel " I know this has to be boring for you so I'll try to get through them quickly" She was certain the man had more entertaining things to teach other kids.

"Nah, don't rush. It's better to do your exercises in stride so you don't go spraining anything." he explained calmly, showing her the next move, "and besides, you'd be amazed how little I have to do. Some decent company for something like this is highly appreciated."

Mareike smiled at that, she didn't have too many older friends outside of the guard and her family. " Definitely don't want to hurt myself " It was a bit embarrassing that while the rest of the girl was becoming toned and sculpted the muscled for her wings had been badly underused and were truly the wrath child's biggest weak spot. " Do you miss whatever it is you did before coming to work at the facility."

"Not at all. Sad to say but this is a vast improvement over my last job. Freaky as hell bosses, strange subjects to teach and all." the teacher intoned with a sigh. "All right, time for a break from the serious moves. You can relax your wings for a few moments or move them about idly before we begin again."
