He nodded as she agreed to continue. She was quite brave and persistent - very admirable traits. "I won't leave your side," he agreed with yet another smile, and leaned forward ever so slightly, gliding a few feet above the ground alongside Emmaleigh. Though he couldn't precisely pinpoint the reason why, he felt his face growing hot as they flew together in silence.
Silence was bad. And luckily, she broke it with a question. What next? "Well, if you feel confident flying like this... we can work on turns? You don't have to go higher than this - we'll just turn in one direction. It's really simple - just push the broom handle to the left and you'll turn left, broom handle to the right, turn right." She probably knew that, but it would probably be smart to make sure she could turn before they reached the other end of the pitch, which they were gradually nearing.
"How 'bout we go right? We'll just go in a nice big arc... and go back the way we came. A nice, smooth, 180 turn. Got it? I'll be right by you this whole way. Don't worry." He started to make a right turn from Emmaleigh's right side, staying close to her to make sure she wouldn't tumble off. He was ready to catch her, if needed. But they were going fairly slow, so... maybe she would be just fine? She couldn’t help but notice Max acting all weird, but when he spoke, she shook her head. “Help?” she said, frowning a little. “I think you did more than help.” Rescued, saved, they seemed like a more appropriate words.
As she flew along beside the boy in silence, Emmaleigh tried her best to concentrate on flying, but found her mind kept wandering to one word. One word that was said right before she accidentally shot off on her own. She was pulled from the thoughts when he answered her earlier question.
Well, she didn’t actually feel confident, but she nodded. “Okay, turns.” She realized that if they didn’t turn soon, they would fly right off of the pitch. “Right, sounds good.” She said, glad Max said he would stay near her. Carefully pushing her broomstick a little to the right, she started her turn. Noticing she was turning too wide, she wobbled a bit on her broom, but managed to correct herself. “That was a close one,” she said still trying to stop wobbling. At least she was staying relatively calm.
