not quite flying

Woops, apparently the wing was exactly the wrong thing to say. He listened carefully as his mother spoke, nodding his head to show he understood. “Dad says I can’t fly with them, you say I can’t fall with them. What’s the point of them, Mumma!?” he asked, sounding maybe a little more exasperated than he had meant to. But he wanted to be able to fly with them! A little part of him couldn’t help but think that maybe he was different. Just because his dad didn't work, didn’t mean his didn’t, right?

When it came time for him to do his falling, he did so, moving onto the platform like his brother had before him. He looked over the ledge, entertained the breath thought of spreading his wings and flying, just to prove he could, and ultimately deciding he didn’t want to disappoint his mumma. He tucked them in, went loose, and let himself fall. Hitting the ground with a grunt as he landed on his butt, before rolling out of the way in case anyone else wanted to fall again.
