... he would probably develop acrophobia by the time he graduated.

In a flash of red, he saw his fellow housemate approach him, and smiled back at her. "Rylee, hi!" She wanted them to fly together? As much as he risked embarrassing himself - and it was even worse around people he actually knew - he couldn't refuse the offer. He'd rather have someone nice to talk to, and maybe forget about the fear of being on a broom. Nodding, he said, "I'd like that, thank you." As for flying side by side... "You sure I won't slow you down?" Due to, you know, his lack of balance and inability to do anything remotely sportive.

Sure enough the ever present smile on her face grew wider. "Great!" Having someone to fly with was going to be loads of fun. "You're welcome." Rylee shook her head a little bit pulling the spoon from her pocket as she sat herself up a bit straighter. "Don't worry about slowing me down, we should probably be starting off slowly anyhow... at least until we get the hang of it."

Balancing herself on her broom she looked over at Daniel. "First things first. Get yourself comfortable. Remember your broom is your friend. Trust your broom like you trust yourself, okay?" Trust and focus was key. They weren't high off the ground so a fall while it might be embarrassing wouldn't hurt them. "When you feel that you're ready place the spoon in your mouth and if you're still balanced put the egg on the spoon. Then we can make sure we have a good grip on our spoon with out mouth and teeth and our hands positioned on out broom. Focus on anything else but what you're doing... like something you really really enjoy and I'll be flying right there beside you."

It might have sounded easy but chances were it wasn't going to be. She was a good flier and her confidence was through the skies when it came to flying but this was also balance and focus, to keys to dancing. She could do this.

Giving Daniel a warm smile she proceeded to place the end of the spoon in her mouth using her teeth to hold it in place showing him what she was doing. Then she pulled one of the eggs from the pocket of her hoodie and set it on the spoon returning her hands to the handle of her broom. So far so good... but she wasn't moving yet. She wouldn't move until her friend was ready too.
