Deimos was leaning against the wall near the office rather bored. He had small firebal in his grip, tossing it from hand to hand as he waited. He'd caught word Len had grown, and they were going to take classes together. He hoped she'd show soon, he was soo bored.
Jizzy was on the opposite wall, sitting on the floor. She watched Deimos carefully, only having warned him maybe 5 times not to play with fire, not that he listened... Well, ehw asn't hurting anyone.. so..

Cheerfully whistling a funeral march tune to herself, Lenore swung Sadako by her side as she and Crow made their way to Jabir's office.
As she caught sight of the office and the formidable-looking boy playing with fire outside it, she gave a shriek like an over-excited bird and ran forward, tackling Deimos, heedless of the fireball.
"Hi Captain! Check it out, I grew!"
Crow ran after Lenore, clapping a hand to her forehead as the girl tackled Deimos.
"Jeez, Len, you're gonna rupture somebody's spleen if you keep doin' that!" she chided, unable to keep the amused grin off her face. Waving weakly to Jizzy, she leaned against the wall and adjusted her crooked pilot's helmet.
"Hey, Jizzy."

The flame withered away at the sight of Lenore, but as she flew head first into him, he stumbled, falling to the ground with a thump. "Ouch!" He exclaimed, as his tail retorted to the floor. He winced, looking up, then his eyes widened swlightly. 'Woah, Len, you did grow!" He said. SHe was almost his height now, though she looked much taller from the floor. "ABout time too." He said, smiling as he stood up.
Jizzy smiled and waved at Crow. Everyone looked much taller from her sitting position, oh well. "I'm sure Dei's spleen is fine, hun. How are ya?" She said. She was rather cheerful today, despite Dei's flaming escapade.

Jabir heard the comotion outside his office door and opened to see what was going around. He caught sight of Lenore tackling Deimos to the ground
He waited until Deimos could recover from the shok before saying "I've been waiting for you for ages" his tone was playful one

Brushing herself off and polishing the smudged glass of her pendant, Lenore gave an unabashed smile at Dei and swept her hair back, making the dulled razor feathers ring slightly.
"Just for you, Dei," she said playfully, cracking her knuckles excitedly.
"Mum said somethin' about flying lessons today - and she said something about your cloak and a guy called Super-man." She glanced at Crow inquisitively before shrugging, and turning to wave at Jabir.
"Hey!"
Crow blushed slightly and rolled her eyes - she couldn't help but make the connection between Dei's cape-like attachment and Superman.
"I'm good - Lenore woke me up pretty early so that we'd be on time for class." She looked at her charge fondly, rolling her eyes.
" 'Course, five hours early is just a tad extreme."

Deimos felt pride or soemthing swell up in his chest as Lenore said it was just for him.
"I know Superman. Mother says I'm like him too.." He said witha shrug. "I think I'ma lot better than superman though." He said, looking over at Jabir, waving slightly. " 'Lo.." He said, rolling his eys at his comment.
Jizzy chuckled. "Dei was exited too. He can't wait to fly, or to learn. ALl the time's he's tried. well.. lets just say his fire comes a lot easier to him." She spotted the tall mishap there and made a grunting noise as she stood. 'Hello Jabir."

"Hello. Please come in" he moved away from the door, allowing them to enter "It's too cold to be outside and the corridor isn't big enough for flying lessons"
"I just need to do some small modifications and then we'll start"
The room started to expand and change at a rapid pace. The furniture disapeared into the walls and ground, while several poles and odd shapped plants sprounted here and there. The floor and walls were covered with a soft white substance that looked like mossed and dangly vines formed bridges and ropes between the branches
When it stoped the room that once used to be Jabir's office was now a beautiful alien forest
"What do you think?"

Lenore watched Jabir change his office in child-like awe, poking one of the mossy things experimentally when everything finished.
"Looks cool!"

Deimos watched in awe as well and took one of the vines into his hand. "Do vines burn well?" He asked absentmindedly. He always did want to know that when he saw something new.

"Glad you liked it" he turned to Len
"Why don't we make a test?" he flicked his hand upwards and a thin vine rose from the ground, about 60 feet away from them
And without Deimos knowlege he cast a small spell around it, not allowing it to catch fire unless he used wind magic to push the flame to it. It would be his first step to use air to aid him in his flight
"You have to hit it with a small fireball. You can't get closer and you must cast it from your hand first" he drew a line on the ground with his tail "And here's a little advice. Try pushing it with Air magic or it probably will blow out before it gets there"
"As for you Lenore, lets see how well you glide while we wait for Deimos" he pointed her one of the branches

Deimos looked over the vine in the distance. Piece of cake. He'd tossed fireballs before and they'd all hit thier target fine. He pufed out his chest impressively, fire swirling in his hand, and tossed it.
Halfway there, it plumeted..
Deimos gave a small grumble.. "Just.. have to warm up my arm.." He said, streching his arms out, forming another fireball and tossed it again.
Once again, it didn't really go past half.
Deimos growled. Why didn't it get there?!!! He seemed to have forgotten all about his air magic as he tossed another failing fireball at the distant vine.

"Air magic Deimos" he said at his increasing frustrated attempts, before turning his attention to Lenore again

"Yah.. Air magic.. right.." He said, focusing. Air magic? The concept seemed a bit foriegn to him, I mean the fire was fine. He could it's precesnce all the time, somehow, but always there. He never felt any air magic, not really. Maybe it was just a llot smaller, yes that must be it.
He focused on his door, that always helped. The magical door the held back his fire magic, and he added a small doggy door on the side, yes, that felt about right. Now if we open the doggy door..
Deimos cloak fluttered slightly, as if a small breeze had gone by. Wait breeze, he'd done it!! He opened his eyes smirking. The fireball sprung in his hand and he tossed it, focusing on the air pushing it further.
It plummeted a bit past the halfway point.
SUCCESS!!!

As she climbed up to a decent height to glide from, Lenore gave a whistle and a cheer as Deimos succeeded with the flying fireball. Hanging onto the vine she had climbed with one hand and her feet, she looked down.
"Huh. At least the ground is softer," she said to herself. Shifting her razor feathers so that there were no spaces between them, and flaring her tail, Lenore took a deep breath and pushed herself off. The plummet was exhilarating as she fell, spreading her arms wide and angling her body. She swooped up and glided unsteadily, struggling to keep her body straight as she soared.
"Uh-oh!"
Wham.
"Ow."
She toppled to the ground, rubbing her nose ruefully where she'd hit the floor. Standing up and checking to see if nothing was broken, she turned to Jabir and shrugged.
"I always get a good start, but then I start losing altitude and then... well, boom."
She sighed and rubbed her chafed nose again, frowning sullenly.

"Good, now try to hit it" he cheered on Deimos
He looked as Lenore's struggled to keep herself in the air and hit the ground "You forget that gliding isn't flying. You're supposed to lose altitude since you don't use your wings for impulse"
He kneeled over her to clean some of the white moss from her clothes. "You're trying too hard. Just focus on the landing and not on the flying ok? We can't have you crashing around when you're higher in the air"
