Racing near the stream he un-tucks his wings and flaps them as if he was going to try flying. Though he hasn't tried flying just yet, as far as he gets is flapping his wings to strengthen them. So when he is ready to start trying to fly his wings will be strong enough. Or at least that's what he keeps telling himself. Slowing down he walks over to the stream to get a drink before taking a small break to just walk some more.
