Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a gorgeous, sunny afternoon, and the wind was perfect for any kite flyer or bird to soar along the skies.

Or in one Audio's case, fluttering above the ground and falling down. Which was exactly what the adorable fox called Carrie was practicing today.

"Mrr... how can other people fly, and I can't even float!" she grumbled to herself, brushing some leaves from her fur as she fluffed her wings out slowly, fluttering above the ground again before falling face-first into the grass, her tails flumping against her legs in defeat.

Each attempt to even get higher than a tree resulted in Carrie falling onto the grass, but she was getting the hang of stopping before hitting the earth too hard.

A few tears started to well up in her eyes as she sat down defeatedly, her paws covering her face as she grumbled and - well actually, instead of grumbling, it was more an unusual noise being muttered by her in succession.

"Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow, chacha-chacha-chacha-chow!" she repeated, stopping as she looked up suddenly, spying another Audio with wings walking towards her. Standing suddenly, she wiped her eyes and looked at her, "H-Hello? C-Can I he-A-hee-ahee ha-heehelp you?" she squeaked, her shoulders twitching when she made her little noise.

Carrie blushed and smiled, picking more leaves from her fur as she nodded, "A-Ahh no, you aren't bothering me at all! I'm just having a few issues flying... shocking, right?" she said, walking over and extending a hand towards the angelic.

"My name's Carrie. What's yours?" she asked, smiling warmly as her wings fluffed and spread out to stretch, her tails more active now as they swished about behind her.

Carrie blinked and stared at Charlamange, a little taken back by her confession. Walking around the Audio, she ran her paws lightly over the pair of wings, checking for anything that might have her not flying.

"Is there a reason why you haven't learned to fly? I mean, I'm kinda still learning, but... it's like instinct on how to, y'know?" she asked, feeling a little bad for her as she walked back in front of Charlamange, "Maybe I can help! At least to help you float or flutter above the ground to start." Carrie continued, smiling at the other angelic.

Carrie was taken aback. This was an Audio who had ascended?! She had never met someone like that before, and of all the times for her speech tick to chime in the loudest, now was the time.

"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!" she squeaked, suddenly turning bright red and covering her mouth, turning away as she huffed and squeaked and whined to herself angrily, her tails fluffing and swishing about to match her sudden dislike in herself.

Oooh, that cursed tick, she screamed inside her mind, turning around and waving her hand in dismay towards Charlamagne, smiling sheepishly with her cheeks lightly pink in embarrassment.

"F-Fine! Perfectly fine, nothing to be concerned with!" she affirmed to the other Audion, clearing her throat lightly as she stepped towards Charlamagne, "So you ascended instead of being born? No wonder you haven't learned to fly yet, most angelics know that stuff by instinct. W-well... some of them.." she added, looking down shyly as she shuffled her feet against the grass, her wings drooping as if mimicking her sudden insecurity.

Carrie blinked, feeling the paw rest on her shoulder as she grinned at Charlamagne, turning and taking her hands in her own as she spun around happily.

"I need to get better at flying, and you need to learn how to fly - it's a perfect day so let's try together!" she squeaked happily, her wings already fluttering and starting to lift her and her companion up into the air, "Come on Charlamagne, get your wings flapping and we can start!"

Carrie fluttered a bit above the ground, watching Charl start to lift off but then set her feet back on the grass and then furl her wings around her, stepping back down and wrapping her in a gentle hug.

"Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry. Here I am trying to rush you into something when I should be more supportive." she said, untucking her wings gently as she gave a warm smile, "I tell you what, let's start really slow, okay? We can take it at your pace and we both can work together to fly." she continued, nodding and stepping back to sit down, her tail wrapping around her waist softly.
