Private Finished Beings of Light

William could understand where she was coming from. Doing something that you have been doing for your entire life would certainly be easy, but it wouldn't necessarily be fun. It would be hard looking for something else if she didn't know what else she could do, but the fact that she still wanted to help people gave him a few more options.

"You said that you saved a girl from drowning, right?" he asked. "Maybe you can be a lifeguard. I think that would be a great job for making sure people don't get hurt, or worse. Your wings would definitely help."

He looked at Sora out of the corner of eye and was once again impressed by her moves. Eventually, he couldn't help but ask. "Okay, how do you do that?" he asked. "I can't do anything like that with my wings."

William picked at the bark on the tree absentmindedly. Sora really didn't know a lot about this world, although he realized it shouldn't have surprised him that much. The world she used to be in sounded vastly different from Earth.

Will didn't really know the specifics himself, but he tried to explain it the best way he could. "Well," he said, "a lifeguard is basically someone who watches over people at the beach to make sure no one drowns or anything like that. I said your wings would help because it would be easier to get to people that are in the water. I'm not a professional on the subject, so take everything I say with a grain of salt."

Will wasn't so sure that practice would allow him to fly in such a way, but he couldn't know until he tried. Taking a deep breath, he focused his energy into the center of his back. A few seconds later, his wings began to form. Feathers gradually appeared to form the shape of his wings. He had to curl them slightly so that they wouldn't set the trees on fire.

With no idea where to start, Will simply flapped his wings once and was lifted for a second.

"I think finding a job should be done before you try to learn to dance," he said.

Will couldn't help but smile at Sora's misunderstanding. She kind of reminded him of himself when he was first learning about Earth culture. "It basically means that you can listen to what I say, but you shouldn't immediately take it as true," Will explained. "I don't know why it means that, but I've decided to accept it."

Will looked at each of his wings and plucked a feather from one of them. He examined it himself before holding it out for her to see. The fire went out, and all that was left as a golden feather. "They are on fire, in fact," he said. "Of course, I wouldn't recommend you touch it." After the feather in his hand disintegrated, he shook his wings so that more would fall off.

Eventually, a layer of feathers was covering the ground behind him. He examined his handiwork, although it wasn't very tough to do.

William looked up at that statement. "Well, I'm sure they would be helpful on a cold night," he said, "but I don't think I'll ever really know. They easily set things on fire, as you could probably imagine."

Will let out a sigh and stretched his arms once more. "I should probably head back," he said. "I came here as soon as last period ended, so I still have to eat lunch. Plus I don't want to be late for my next class." He looked for a suitable spot to begin flying, and when he found none, he retracted his wings. "I'll see you some other time, yeah?"
