[Just those words coming out of your mouth were a terrible thought, anyway!!
Adrian will lead Rosso on deeper into the woods after unruffling his feathers, searching for the tree he'd mentioned. Fortunately it's not too far from home, and soon enough they reach the base of it, where Adrian stands firm.]
A'ight. Climb up there and angle yourself so you'll fall towards where I'm standin'. Don't focus on falling though, focus on flapping your wings.
[The scrabbling of gargoyle claws on tree bark... Rosso is Up in record time, which is funny, because he's also pretty good at getting in trees for a dog as well. Personal record for tree: beaten.
Anyway.
Right. Makes sense. Don't focus on falling, focus on flapping. Easy.
Rosso looks at Adrian, does some mental math, and spreads his wings. Then, he launches himself out of the tree, nearly hits the ground... but he does get a slight lift, and while he's not flying forward, he's definitely flying in place after a moment.
He's low to the ground, though, so it won't be long until he loses the air current and sinks. But! But!!!! He looks so excited, there are stars in his eyes and ope he's going back up the tree bye, let's try again—]
[See! That was barely falling! He eventually dropped back down, but he didn't crash like he did the first time.
As Rosso scrambles back up, Adrian takes it upon himself to climb up a shorter tree so he can takeoff from there, hovering at a sort of midpoint between Rosso and the ground. He can still catch him if he beefs it, but he's closer now, up in the air.]
Glide a couple times, you'll start to get the hang of it when the instincts kick in.
