Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pollux decided that at least el wouldnt mind his company too terribly and figured he could at least watch and be supportive in the distance. Maybe he could catch someone if they caught a mighty drift! He got up with renewed excitement. "Wait up pal!" He called after the stag and plodded aftet him. A short way into their ascent he began to hum a cheerful forest tune. One of the ones he heard from Aiesha when she was weaving baskets. The tune infected him so much he began to wag in time excitedly swaying his big ol tail side to side and up and down.

The big stag, noticing Poll had decided to join him, slowed down so the dancing humming dino could catch up. Eldrin, recognizing Ai's song, joined in with some harmonizing. He even added a little prance to his step as he moved through the trees to the rise that was his destination. "I'm a little nervous about leaving Ali at Deca's mercy." He confided to the Dino as they came back out to where they could look down on the two winged Soqs."But not so much that I would take this chance away from her. Besides, my little girl has pluck." He shot a sideways glance at the dino with a knowing look in his eyes. "Deca seems to have lightened up a bit since I've known her. What do you think Pol?" he commented in a nonchalant manner, flicking his tail.

Deca kept half and ear cocked toward Pollux as he moved away. She snuck a clandestine glance at him before he was out of sight and had to stop herself from rolling her eyes at his silly display. It was very like him to swing his big dino self around, infected by amusement of his own making. Though, she had to admit, sometimes it was fun to watch him play in her garden. Not that she'd ever tell him she watched when he goofed around.

She turned her full attention back to the filly before her without giving any indication that her intensity had wandered. The girl was so excited that it almost made Deca uncomfortable. She obviously had a happy life, full of love. With both of her parents around. Deca was almost jealous. Almost. She knew that she wouldn't be the strong capable mare she was today if her mother had raised her. And her father was barely deserving of the tittle.She flicked her tail as if she could brush away the thoughts.

"Don't thank me." she corrected sharply. She didn't like gratitude. "Words are empty. Actions are much more satisfying. If you want me to see how much you appreciate this? Then learn well." She strode around the filly watching her form and correcting minute movements with sharp words.
"There. Now that is the correct motion and form. Your muscles need to learn it before you actually fly." She snorted. "The most I want to see from you today is a glide. Performed perfectly." She circled the filly again. "Slow your motion. I want your body to learn it until you can do it in your sleep."

Aldora watched as her dad and Pollux meandered off together dancing away and smiled to herself. She turned back and was watching Deca excitedly waiting for her to give her more instruction, at being told not to thank her she faltered just for a moment thinking that this mare seemed so very different from any she'd met so far. "Understood lady Deca" she said and they began.

Trying her best to mimic everything Deca told and showed her perfectly was definitely difficult at first but after awhile she felt more at ease with the motions, and with the mare herself as well though she tried not to show it too much in case Deca didn't appreciate it.

Her first glide didn't go quite the way that she had planned for she slanted her nose a little to far down and ended up tumbling over herself before she knew what had happened. Determined to do better she tried again this time she managed to land upright and not roll over herself but she stumbled a few steps. She did not however let that get to her and tried again and again until she thought she had her form exactly right and could perform the glide to Decas' standard. She made another attempt and asked "Am i doing this correctly Deca?" hoping beyond hope that she had made good solid progress and wasn't disappointing her teacher.
