Okay!

[He heads on outside. Luckily, there's a small little park next to the shop. Talk about good location! Sora heads to a patch of grass]

So he said that you just hit a button, here.... [He looks around-] Oh, here we go!

[He hits the button, and there's the quiet sound of a hum that comes from the board. Sora lets go of the board, and it falls - ALMOST to the ground, stopping so it's floating a good six inches above the ground]

Haha! It works!

[shamisens]

[ Kubo comes closer, inspecting it curiously. ]

How high do you think it can go?

[notzubats]

No idea! Let's find out!

[He walks over to jump up onto the board, not at all worried about getting on a floaty board. And luckily since both of them are so small]

C'mon, I think both of us could fit on here.

[shamisens]

[ Kubo climbs on, keeping his arms out for balance. ]

Now what? Do we press a button?

[notzubats]

Hmmm, well he said the board will respond to your movements. So...oh! Let's try leaning back with our weight!

[And once they do that, sure enough the board will start to move up in the air, the speed of which depends on how fast and hard they do it]

[shamisens]

Woah!

[ He wobbles before grinning. ] Forward!

[notzubats]

Aye aye!

[He shifts his weight accordingly, and together the board goes up and forward! Very soon they are above the trees of the park!]

Ha! Looks like it can go high alright!

[shamisens]

[ He shakes Sora slightly, caught up in the enthusiasm. ]

Can it go higher than the buildings?

[notzubats]

Haha, good question! Let's find out!

[UP UP AND AWAY. It's not long until they're above the lower buildings, and climbing the height of the skyscrapers. Sora's clearly having the time of his life doing this.]

[shamisens]

[ Kubo laughs, a free sound that he hasn't uttered in days as he feels the wind running through his hair. ]

This is awesome. Better than my kind of flying.

[notzubats]

Your kind of flying? You can fly?!

[Awesome.]

[shamisens]

Kind of. My magic can make it seem that way.

[ He hasn't mastered it the way his mother had, enchanting robes but Kubo is sure he'll pick it up eventually. ]

[notzubats]

Wow! Magic too? That's awesome!

But how does your magic make you seem like you're flying?

[shamisens]

If I have paper or something like it, I can use it to help me fly. Like making a pair of wings.

[ He spreads his hands to demonstrate ~flying with wings~ before giggling as the board shakes a little. ]

My mother could enchant clothing and create magical wings.

[notzubats]

[He shifts his weight as the board shakes, snicking along]

Whoa, so it's like you control paper with magic? And maybe clothes too?

That's amazing! I've never heard of powers like that before!

[shamisens]

It's a strange kind of magic. Honestly, I'm not sure what I can do.

[notzubats]

Really?

[He grins at him]

Then we got something in common!

[shamisens]

We do?

[notzubats]

Yup! [a nod] I'm still figuring out my powers too.

You'll get it though!

[shamisens]

What can your powers do?

[notzubats]

Mine?

Oh, well! I can do...this!

[HOLDS UP HIS HANDS TO DO THIS]

[shamisens]

What's that? What does it do?

[notzubats]

Not...much.

[He stops so he can rub the back of his neck sheepishly]

I'm still learning, but I have wind powers! And I can talk to animals- I'm good at that. [There's also the whole keep accidentally blowing things up with mind powers BUT LETS NOT MENTION THAT TO A NEW FRIEND!!!]

[shamisens]

[ Kubo is not deterred in the least. ]

What do animals say?

[notzubats]

Usually? They want food. [He chuckles a little]

But sometimes they talk about other stuff! It's cool, getting to hear things from their point of view.
