... Harder to find the way to, than keep it up.

[ But he's strange with magic, so it might be just him. He lifts absently off the ground, staring vacantly down as if trying to find the words for what he just did. ]

It is... implying gravity is something else, as is.. buoyancy. Like how floating in sea water is easier than river...

[ He blinks over at him. ]

I could apply it to you, and you can try to learn how it works that way?

[peacockherald]

Oh... well, I suppose I could. I have never tried to use magic that way before, so I am unsure if my magic can bend that way...

_{[ The thought had never occurred to him, but then the idea of floating through air always seemed a thing reserved for the birds and legendary griffons. ]}

[radiantwingedone]

Might be less of "bend that way" and more of "find different bends to same effect".

[ But there's a clear deep-green glow about Duke's hands for a moment, before he pauses. ]

Would you prefer I keep the control of movement for now? Could anchor it into how I move, so that... following is a little like shadowing?

[peacockherald]

Yes, I think that might be best. I would rather not set myself flying into a tree.

_{[ Not that Duke's explanation of how to possibly make the magic work made any sense to him, but there was very little to be done about that, he thought. He would have to figure it out on his own as he eyed the green glow of Duke's hands. ]}

[radiantwingedone]

It does not go that fast.

[ Or, well, it only really goes as fast as the person can. A little odd like that. But Duke flicks his fingers, and the spell forms a sphere about Vanyel, then sinks close to him and vanishes.

He might feel like he's caught under the arms by something, without it really feeling like it could get horribly uncomfortable. Like he was floating in water, and that's where the water level was - without the obvious wet feel.

Duke tilts his head, a silent 'everything fine'? ]

[peacockherald]

_{[ Vanyel shivered as the magic settled over him, different from that of the planet, lifting him up and shivering at the sensation. Floating - he was floating, in the air as if it was water! He laughed brightly, looking down at the space between his feet and the ground. ]}

Marvelous... it's marvelous, Duke...

[radiantwingedone]

I will have to work out how to explain it better.

[ But for now, he looks up. And it seems like all his spell needs is intent, because then they're rising.

He also seems a bit more awake as they go up. ]

... Which direction?

[peacockherald]

Perhaps towards the lake?

_{[ He points to where he can see water sparkling, surprised he has the wits to talk floating as high as he is. Height had never scared him, especially living with the Tayledras as he had, but this was definitely new and not nearly as secure as the tree houses. ]}

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke makes a thoughtful agreeing noise, and they just.. flow in that direction.

And Duke's spell is secure enough - it would take something knocking into them to disrupt it, and even then, it has to be hard enough to shake Duke's concentration.

... and they aren't going much faster than a horse's trot. It'll take a little bit. ]

[peacockherald]

_{[ Still, it felt much faster for their height, for the way they glided across the tree tops. He wondered if he might reach down and brush the leaves, at once delighted and trying to figure out the spell for himself with the more analytical part of his mind. He could not help but laugh, the delight winning out for now. ]}

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke is fairly sure if he expands the spell so that all its working parts are visible, and moves about while Vanyel can study it, the herald could get a good idea of what Duke is doing.

Probably better to do that later. off the planet, so Duke wouldn't to flying off when he was distracted.

Decent is as smooth as take-off, it could be gravity reapplying itself, but it wasn't terribly sudden or anything. Duke cancels both spells, and tilts his head in a question of "still okay" at Vanyel. ]

[peacockherald]

_{[ He lands, toes tapping to the Earth, surprised at how light it was, having prepared for a more jarring reunion with the ground. He smoothed his shirt and trousers out of habit, and his hair, taking a few cautious steps toward the bright waters. ]}

Thank you Duke. That was... that was amazing.

[radiantwingedone]

I would have tried to share it, when there was more mages about... However it seemed to be a poorly thought out idea. [ Let the one who can't see anything try to teach people how to fly? Yeah, that would go well. ]

... Do you think, if I expanded the spells workings, and had it light up the parts that were in use, it would make sense? ... Ah... if I had it all visible, and the part that made going up possible glowed when I went up...?

[ That made sense, right? ]

[peacockherald]

Oh... perhaps it might. Your magic is quite different from mine, but that might help me to understand it and deconstruct it to use in my own spells.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke hums, glad the idea was a good one, and just stores it away for later.

They were here for the lake, after all. ]

Definitely best done when there is not so much about.

[ He's getting distracted again. ]

[peacockherald]

Well, let's get to this then, shall we? Let's not waste the daylight.

_{[ He smiles and heads for the water's edge, curious and delighted, and overflowing with magic. ]}
