[ loki the bird warbles. ]

Take your time with it.

[unkindled_madness]

I don't think I could do otherwise.

[Shifting at all is still new to him, and he's never been a bird before. The bones of his arms are starting to shift, which is... kind of gross-looking, quite frankly.]

[dothelokimotion]

Don't look at it. Close your eyes and concentrate.

[unkindled_madness]

Right. Imagine it.

[He closes his eyes as instructed. The proportions of his body start to shift now, too. His hair into feathers running down his back, and then spreading across his body. Slowly, little by little.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chirps. ]

Yes. That's it.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth smiles, while he still has lips. The chirping is cute.]

I appreciate the encouragement.

[Okay, time to shift his head. And he should probably be smaller, to be sure his wings can carry him. He didn't fully undress, so he starts to sink into his pants.]

[dothelokimotion]

Just a healthy amount.

[unkindled_madness]

[His intended hum comes out as a coo. He now has pigeon throat.

And pigeon wings, pigeon feet... Just an all-over grey little bird. Maybe a little big for a pigeon. He works on extricating his feet from his clothing, not an easy task with the claws, but his wings are still spread which helps with balance.]

[ loki squawks lightly as he surveys sephiroth. he is a magpie as always. ]

Interesting choice.

[unkindled_madness]

They...

[He stops. Okay, he can still speak this time, but his voice is sort of warbling.]

They would get into the Shinra building from time to time. No one knew how.

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh. that's cute. ]

Pigeons can be versatile.

[unkindled_madness]

Precisely.

[He takes a few steps away from his pants, trying to get a sense of this body's movement.]

[dothelokimotion]

Spread your wings a little to help yourself move. It'll maintain your balance.

[unkindled_madness]

[He stretches his wings out again, and his steps grow more confident.]

I feel quite... light.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. Bird bones are very light.

[unkindled_madness]

Of course they have to be.

[He pauses and extends his wings to their full span, moving them experimentally through a slow flap.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chirps. ]

That's it. Just maintain your balance.

Then we'll try flying.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth hops once in excitement, without meaning to.]

Surely my ability to walk contributes little to my flight skills.

[dothelokimotion]

I see. And when you have to land, you think you'll manage?

[unkindled_madness]

......

Well, landing isn't walking either.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

Since you're confident, why don't we get started?

[unkindled_madness]

Yes, why don't we?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chirps before flapping his wings and taking off. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth attempts to mimic him. He does the flapping but it doesn't seem to get him more than a few inches off the ground.

We're going to have to try this a few times.]

[dothelokimotion]

Give yourself space and try again. Walk a little if that's easier to gain momentum.
