"Okay, here we go." With an oh-Merlin-have-mercy-on-my-soul sigh, he put the spoon in his mouth, and searched his pockets for the spare egg he'd brought up in the air, while his other hand was locked in a death grip around the broom, holding on for dear life. Focusing on his task, he placed the egg on the spoon, and his eyes met Rylee's, who was waiting for him. He would've smiled, but he would drop the spoon. He would've showed her a thumbs up, but there was no way he was moving to risk dropping the egg. Nodding was out of the question too. So he hoped she understood he was good to go.
Rylee would have told him about her own disasters while flying but she wasn't about to scare him. The whole point here was to have a good time and be relaxed and how would she manage that if she talked about falling off her broom? He appeared to be listening to her as she had spoke and that's what counted.
Mhmm. Yes. So far so good. She could see his balance was good as was how he held the spoon in his mouth. All things appeared nice minus that death grip he hand on the handle of his broom which made her nearly giggle. Lifting a hand off her broom she moved the spoon from her lips just a little to give him a tad more advice first,
"Ease up your grip. Relax your hands. Firm hold but relaxed. You'll be okay, don't worry." With a smile she bit back down on the spoons handle and carefully returned her hand to her broom.
They were ready to go. Angling her broom upwards ever so slightly she flew forward slowly. Very slowly, focusing on not only not dropping the egg from the spoon but also not leaving her friend behind. Her goal was to stay within an arms length to his side and no more than a few inches ahead but if she could stay closer that would be great. Now where was Daniel? She would look but that would most definitely cause her to drop the egg.
