Tried and True, Chapter 66: Coaxing

Taweel scrutinized the other two boys standing in the circle of his wings. Adin and Tamaes shuffled their feet, and Adin said, “Before we can fly ….”
Tamaes finished, “… we must learn to unfurl.”
“Is it hard to do?” asked Weft.
“No,” assured Taweel. “Unfurling only needs a little coaxing. But flight will take lengthy practice.”

Taweel’s gaze dropped. “With song.”
