Ooops...
Benny hadn't meant it that hard...in truth having wanted to assist Adi in the direction the bird had been trying to go with his takeoff. The reindeer tried his best to look apologetic as he lifted his head up, Eagle!Adi once more faced him after recovering from the roll. So much for trying to be helpful. His added bulk and strength had been a disadvantage that he hadn't been wary of. The stag tilted his head half-playfully, half wishing he knew what the whistles meant. Maybe he'd hear it when they were both back to normal.
His friend certainly didn't seem too bothered.
Benny snorted at the cheeky display of feathers his way. Yeah...yeah...ever the amuser. At the point he nodded his head and antlers. He clearly wanted to be up in the air. Come on Adi....you can do it. Deer-like sounds continued to be emitted from his animalistic lips as he tried to encourage his friend with the endeavor, watching as the smaller creature first practiced and then finally took off.
YAY!!!!
The reindeer lifted his antlered head further, doing his best to observe his friend flying. At least it seemed like the tree was behaving and they didn't have to worry about it. However Adi was getting away. As the eagle grew higher, he half-walked half pranced along the ground parallel to try and keep up. They needed to stay together, especially to keep the new flier grounded where he was going.
Benny seemed to get what he was trying to tell him. Adi literally tried to grin but a beak doesn't permit that. How lame. Grins were one of the best things in this awesome thing called life. Hmph. Anyway, taking the weird sounds coming from the reindeer as encouragement, he began flapping.
...................
EEEEEP!
HE WAS ACTUALLY DOING THIS!
Higher, higher, higher the Hufflepuff in Golden Eagle's feathers rose. It was still incredibly difficult to get to the altitude he wanted to but he was getting there slowly but surely. Suddenly, he felt a rush of wind under his wings. Huh? What was that? What Adi didn't know was that it was actually a thermal or a pillar of air that could allow him to just float or drift without working his wings into more exhaustion.
It took him a few minutes to figure this out and when he finally did, he just left his wings outstretched as he soared around and around and around the Whomping Willow. It seemed the higher he got, the more easier it became to fly as there were more breeze up there.
"THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEE!" Adi yelled. Of course no human sounds came out. Not that he didn't have to pay so much attention to flapping, he could actually focus on his surroundings. There were so many students around on the grounds! Even so high up he could see their faces super clearly. No, wait! Not just their faces but the individual hairs on their head! WAAAAAAH?
Now he really wanted to swap his eyes for an eagle's THIS INSTANT!
Adi looked down at his reindeer friend. He could see each strand of fur or whatever it was that a reindeer was covered in. Without thinking twice, the eagle banked a turn around the Willow by simply tilting to the side then soared straight for the reindeer. Well, its antlers to be precise. Without a sound he landed atop the right antler.
Hiya, Mr Reindeer!
