She tilted her head at Zeno's explanation, nodding a little. It made sense; if you had a brutish, heavy-hand with magic and tried to take on more than you could swallow, it should follow that it wouldn't work. She really piqued up at their mention of flying, however - the word reverberated in her heart, like one note from a piano that led to a favorite old song, keying her up with anticipation for hearing the rest.

"I think...." She began almost wistfully, "I think I dreamed of flying." She moved closer to them. "You...flew here? C' you teach me?"

She opened her little nub wings, underdeveloped and yet to fill in its adult plumage. "When 'm old enough, I mean," She chirped a little laugh. "We can be - um - learning buddies!"

"Speech."

A gentle grin spread across Zeno's face as he looked upwards at the now blank ceiling. "I suppose I did fly here, didn't I? Even if it was only a short distance." That realization felt lovely in the little bat's heart. Pretty soon he might actually be able to reach the stars above, find out where they went and perhaps even bring them back to sine down upon the city once more.

"I'd love to help you learn, Helle." he replied, spreading out his own wing. Indeed, proportional to his body, his wings seemed much larger right now. Something told him that wouldn't always be the case though, that one day Helle would command wings that could take her to the sky just as well as his might one day be able to. "My wings grew in before I was strong enough to really use them. Maybe your wings are waiting until you are strong to grow in so you don't accidentally crash and hurt yourself."
