'We are both flutters regardless,' Sevati said firmly, but still with grace and a smile.
'You are? I'm not. I can't imagine being dull, and not finding the fun in all that life is!' she said gaily, giving her wings a proper flourish, and making a twirl on the spot. Had the first Soquili she met been a misery, she might have taken to the wing and just left the area again.
'I don't know, why don't you open your eyes properly and look?' she was peering down at Dichali now, for he was as small she had been when they met.
( Hope it's okay that I said he'd been successful, if not I'll change it =)

"Well, dull is actually quite common, from what I've encountered. And it's not always a bad thing, either. Some Soquili just have that personality, I s'pose."
Upon opening his eyes, Dichali jumped back, seeing a huge hoof where the mare had once been. The green orbs traced the hoof up to the mare's face. "H-h-how do I go back? I mean... Get bigger? It's kind of scary down here all alone." He wasn't sure what to do. Should he explore this new state, or should he go back to his original size? Could he get bigger? That would be entertaining.

Sevati paused, trying to digest that fact. She supposed there might be some who were just like that, but what a nasty way to be! They couldn't be very happy.
She giggled at Dichali, when he'd realised that his attempt had been successful.
'Really? If you wanted I could join you, and we can take you for a spin, so to speak. Or if you really want to regain your size, then you do it the same way as going small. Just sort of think it, know you should be bigger and you will be.'

Dichali thought about it, and after a few moments, nodded. "As lovely as it would be to feel like I wouldn't get squished, I'd much rather you join me." He chuckled lightly at the thought of an unkowing Soquili or two-legger to come along and step on him. Surely it wouldn't happen, but the possiblility amused him.
"Do you think that perhaps being this size, it would be easier for me to learn how to fly? Surely there's not much of a difference, just... Less to see you fall?"

At Dichali's request, Sevati changed sizes herself, taking to the wing as she did so. She hovered a little way above and to the side of him, her now tiny wings beating hard so that kept her position.
'Hmm, well yes, I think you'll find it will be. Your mass is smaller, and so you can take advantage of the breezes. Of course you'll not be able to fly very high, we aren't made for that, but I'm sure you'll find yourself looping over flowers and grass in no time.' she said encouragingly.
'So give it a go, try to come up to me.'

Dichali watched her intently as she took flight, and nodded. "Well, alright..."
He flapped his wings as hard as he could, managing to barely get off the ground before 'THUD!' The stallion had fallen into a heap below the mare, which wasn't really all that surprising. "...Ow."

'Yes that's it,' Sevati called, as she circled above in him small loops.
'Oh..' she said, swooping down as Dichali barely lifted before falling again onto the ground.
'Goodness! Are you okay?' she asked, looking him over to see if he seemed injured.
'Can you move? Oh my, well, every foal falls the first time.' she said, trying to encourage him into trying again if he wasn't hurt.

Dichali scrambled to his feet. "I sure hope I can move. If I couldn't, I don't know how I'd be standing." He chuckled lightly.
Looking up at her, he fluttered his wings lightly at first, then a bit harder, feet leaving the ground. It was a magical feeling, but he wasn't very stable. Wibbling and wobbling, he made his way up to the mare. "Uh... How do I get it so I'm more... I dunno. Straight?"

'Well you seem fine enough,' Sevati laughed, joking around usually meant nothing was broken. She kept her own wings moving, so swiftly that they seemed to be blurred as she kept herself in one place.
'Lift your tail a tad, that will help you keep some balance, and make sure you lead with your head. Keep your wings beating in a steady time, big pushes to gain height.' she said, flitting around him, trying to work out where he might be going wrong.
'Alot of flying is more instinct than anything, so practice, practice!' she smiled at Dichali.
'I promise you, flying will seem a breeze, and eventually you might even be able to do tricks.'

He followed her instructions carefully, steadying himself a bit, barely wobbling in the air. "Well, I suppose this isn't so ba--" Dichali's voice was cut off when he looked at how far down the ground below had become. Slightly shocked, and slightly proud, the stallion looked back up at the mare. "Uh... How do you land?"

Sevati had watched quietly as Dichali rose higher and higher, not wanting to say anything for fear of making the stallion lose his concentration. When he did finally noticed she joined his side, nodding;
'You're doing well!' she encouraged, staying nearby in case he lost it and she would have to grab his tail to stop him falling. It would hurt to do so, but a lot more if he crashed from this height.
'Carefully?' she suggested, and giggled.
'If you point yourself downwards and flap your wings you should go towards the ground, when you're just above it tilt slightly upwards, and let your wings stop. You'll just drop onto the ground. Don't worry if you veer to close and fall out of the air the first few times. Every one does.'

The stallion grinned prouldy at his efforts, and blinked at the mare's response. Chuckling, Dichali replied, "Well I figured as much."
Slowly, he followd her instructions, and when he reached the ground, and tried to pull upwards, he lost it and fell on his rump. "Ow..." He stood up carefully, making sure he didn't hurt anything too badly. "I'm alright." Nodding, he wiggled his rump to make sure everything was wroking properly.

Sevati drifted down behind Dichali, watching as he tried to land again. She winced in sympathy when he did land on his bottom and she landed herself, her hooves dropping onto the ground next to him.
'Okay. Like I said, everything comes with practice, I'm sure you'll learn to land properly soon. Your bottom will thank you.' she giggled.
'Just keep at it, and don't push yourself into doing stuff too soon.'
