Like Shaping Clay

Quie sat there on the ground and winced as she held her hand to her side. Definitely something bruised or pulled, but as she put a little pressure on the area it didn't feel like anything was broken. Sighing she looked up at Silver. Quiet except for when he needed to be loud, reasonable and intelligent and always there when she needed him. She was so glad she had come to the island and met him.

She smiled at him. "Tired, very tired. And I think I might have pulled something, but I did it! At least for a little bit." A little pain was something she could ignore and she was thrilled with what she had managed to do during that session. There wasn't any question in her mind that she would be able to get the hang of partial shifting. It would just take more time to learn better control.

Quie began to stand up but as she twisted that soreness in her side was a little more noticeable. "-ah, yeah I definitely pulled something. Nothing serious though I'm pretty sure. Mind giving me a hand?"

Quie stood up with Silver's help and stood there leaning on him, once more enjoying just being close to him. It was a little silly maybe, but she'd bite anyone for giving her shit about it. "I'll still take this slow, though. Clearly if i'm not careful I can really hurt myself. Besides, I have to keep spending time with you somehow."

She nuzzled her face into his chest. The dragon impulse was to tell him she was perfectly capable of flying herself back to the city. Such a minor injury couldn't come close to stopping her. But being carried sounded kind of nice. "If you think that's best, maybe you should carry me then," she murmured softly as she enjoyed the sensation of being held in his arms. So she was feeling romantic; she was allowed to have that side of her show a little too.

Quie leaned in too when silver gave her a kiss and then did as she was told. She let him lift her up and watched as he showed how his own partial shifting worked. Ok, so she didn't completely relax since she wasn't used to the sensation of being carried through the air by another dragon. But she trusted Silver not to accidentally drop her.

"Hold on tight? Always," she'd smiled and answered before holding on for the takeoff as he launched them up into the air. However as they leveled off she let go with one hand to run it gently along the scales on his face. And then she yawned and sort of drifted off into not-quite sleep for most of the flight as the exertion from training was catching up to her.

It had been a wonderful day, and it sounded like it would be a wonderful evening too. Though the thought hadn't yet hit her, a proper date would be great.
