...And I still saw you after that, up until the assignment with a veteran hunter and the Grimm attack on Vale.

[Huh. Guess he is telling the truth.]

I guess that's some comfort, but we should still try and find a way home for good.

[rollsoffthetongue]

Believe me, I've been try-

Wait. [He stared at Ren, stock still.] What... Grimm attack on Vale??

[madeamanoutofme]

From what I heard, the White Fang crashed an abandoned underground train into Vale and drew in Grimm to the hole. We managed to fight it off, luckily. You held your own out there, too.

[rollsoffthetongue]

[He couldn't speak for a few moments and when he did, it was in a small, croaked voice.] ......Whoa.

[Blink. He did?] I did?

[madeamanoutofme]

Yeah, you did. Took down an Ursa without so much as a scratch.

[He won't mention his own kill count for that fight. Or anyone else's.]

[rollsoffthetongue]

[He seemed impressed for a moment, and then laughed, unsure.]

Ooookay, now I know you're pulling my leg.

[madeamanoutofme]

Just trust me on this. You'll see for yourself when we get back.

[rollsoffthetongue]

[He doesn't look entirely convinced, but he's at least willing to let it go.

Instead he shifts around to look down Ren's body, particularly at his new appendages.]

You're a pegasus, that's awesome! Have you had a chance to try them out yet?

[madeamanoutofme]

I just said I got here a few minutes ago. I haven't had much of a chance to do anything yet.

[rollsoffthetongue]

Hey, I don't know what you did when you came in. [Shrug, grin, and after a moment he reaches up a hoof to lightly poke at a wing without actually touching it.]

Okay, now you gotta though.

[madeamanoutofme]

I have a bad feeling about this, but sure, I'll give it a shot.

[If only because he knows Jaune won't drop it until he tries.]

[Experimentally, he flaps his wings. Slowly at first, getting a feel for them. He had no idea how to fly, but maybe he could just going by instinct, and maybe a little help from his Aura.]

[These wings look kinda small, though... can these really lift him off the ground? One way to find out.]

[After a bit of mental preparation, he takes a breath, and makes an Aura-powered jump at the same time as he gives a hard flap of his wings. Given that a pegasus can easily get into the air without Aura, the effort results in him rocketing a good several hundred feet into the air.]

[It's gonna be a bit before he comes back down. Oops.]

[rollsoffthetongue]

[Jaune immediately rushes into the spot Ren had been standing, staring up at the sky in open awe.]

Whoaaa...!

[madeamanoutofme]

[It looked awesome, but Ren didn't exactly plan for what to do when he actually got up there. He's no stranger to being in the air, but using wings to control himself was harder than it looked. He gives it his best shot, and manages to at least glide for a bit, but further attempts to fly only result in knocking himself off balance and falling back to earth.]

[Now it's Ren's turn to take a faceplant into the ground. Hope you've gotten out of the way, Jaune.]

[rollsoffthetongue]

[He does actually, scrambling backwards just in time to miss Ren's crash landing. He's over and helping up his teammate before the dust even settles, but there's nothing but joy on his face.]

That was really cool! I mean, except for the end but you'll get there. [A short laugh.] Heh, I'm kinda glad I don't have wings, I'd probably be doing that daily.

[And that's not even getting to the airsickness thing. Ponyville's much better all around with Jaune being an Earth pony.]

[madeamanoutofme]

[Ren stands up and brushes himself off.]

I think that was less flying and more a really big fall. I'll have to practice more.

[rollsoffthetongue]

Falling with style, though! [He was still all smiles at Ren, clearly impressed.] You'll get it in no time.

[madeamanoutofme]

Not like I have anything else to do now.

[Kinda hard to study when your books are a universe away.]
