Painter blinks, a little caught off guard, but slowly brings his hands up and places them on her back gently. So..this is what it's like to have friends..I could get used to it.. he chuckles, still a little disorientated from the flight. Smiling as her grip loosens a bit he gives her a small pat on the back, "All I ask in return is not to be betrayed..its happened in the past.." he says quietly, remembering the flashback he just had. He chose to ignore the fact that the boy who had attacked him was his only "friend".

"I'm not the betraying type, I could never truly be evil. In one of my things I had two sides, and the evil side wasn't even evil enough." She chuckled, "All I know is that I care too much for people, and I have a feeling now that maybe I died protecting them... I promise I'll never ever betray or leave you behind or in trouble as a friend." She said giving him a light squeeze, she then chuckled lightly. "You know what... My first act as your friend will be to help you train your wings better, not that they aren't good or anything but... You need to be able to do more with them than fly, I remember what I knew... Of course I don't have litteral wings but I can still teach with arms and wind.
You fly well but you need to be able to hold someone longer and be able to weild wind without thinking and use your wings with your power. We both need to be our strongest in order to give this witch what she deserves. I know she's powerful because she haunts me in my unknown memory. I doubt I was weak in my past and dared to go against her without a clue." She said thinking...
"I'll have to study weapondry since I have no wings anymore... Actually maybe we both should... Your wind is easier to bend with a object to project with." She then realized she didn't let go of him and was in fact still hugging. She let go and backed away, she was a bit wrapped up in the whole having a friend and a plan for a future beggining to come out. She finally might be able to settle her past and it wouldn't be alone.

Painter chuckles as she back away, "Hmm, you've got a point I suppose..at our current status we'd probably get knocked around a few times without any trouble from the knocker." His curiosity peaks for a second, "and what exactly am I supposed to be able to do with my wings other than fly and catch drafts? As for a weapon..I'm thinking throwing stars, or something of that nature. That way when I throw them, said projectiles will be able to be manipulated with the air bending.." He trails off, his thoughts coming to him swiftly.
"Birds use their wings mainly for flying, protection for their young, and other little things unobserved by man. But you must not only be a good flyer or protector but must be able to navigate in fierce winds. Be able to fly when one wing has issues, be able to carry heavy weight while flying and be able to fly as if it was nothing even in the worst situations. To be able to use wings as a true power instead of a means to fly by, wings are more amazing than people think. You can move faster swifter faster with wings in the air. You just need to work on it, my favorite exercise according to one of my things was to push off the ground using my wings only without wind I would fly up in spinning circles at first I'd get dizzy but it's actually helps with when the wind's against you.
Birds are often seen flying in circles, the reason they do is because it makes it easier for them to navigate in quick moves so that when there's a hawk after them they can out manuever it. Hawks soar so the strain put on their wings is lessened, you need to learn the tricks of flying in the way of birds and animals. It needs to become an part of you and you need to love your wings.
Because once you truly are one with your wings like a bird you can navigate with ease without feeling uneasy you need to be able to navigate in fierce wings with out your powers. As for your weapondry you always need to not depend on your powers, if you depend on them and you get in a place with lesser air and no ablity of wind it'll be impossible to defend yourself and you'll end up dead." She didn't realize that herself had, had a simular situation happen to her. She herself wasn't as attached to her powers as she was before with her wings. She knew her wings would never grow back they were gone, she knew they were one thing that would remain gone.
She looked at the air, the wind surrounded her eveloping her in a small whirl of wind and then it blew off. She smiled, the wind always seemed to try and cheer her up. Sometimes it worked and others not, but she had so much pain in her pasts that sometimes it was impossible to cheer up. For a while she hadn't been this happy, this was a amazing feeling to her.

Painter frowns, "This...is going to take forever.." he sighs and decides it's for the better in the long run. He looks at her, sitting across from him quietly, enjoying the breeze of the day. A smile creeps across his face as he sees her happy and he leans back, allowing the breeze to tousle his own hair. "Maybe..maybe we'll succeed this time.." he looks over at her, "By the sound of it, you were alone last time, but this time you have someone to help..maybe you accepting a friend will be what helps you kill the witch.." he quiets a little for his next comment, "maybe..maybe killing her will heal your wound for good.." he grows quiet and closes his eyes, willing to do anything it takes to help this girl he hardly knew to be healed and even happy.
She looked at him a light smile on his face, "Don't worry, we can do it within a month or two if we work hard. Flying is enjoyable enough and you just need to put effort in to strength and flexiblity first then you go to navigation which takes the same amount of time as the first part but works in the long run and makes it less risky." She heard his comment and remain quiet till his second. She nodded, "I think it was something sudden, something that no one knew about. All I remember is power, pain and fight from my past now. But now that I know what was partly maybe I'll be able to counter it. But what I know is for some reason this person isn't meant to be taken lightly, I wonder why I thought that. I wonder what big thing she did."
She nodded, maybe it would help her... But mainly it would at least settle the past and she'd be able to at least move on. She couldn't believe now she had a friend, his arrival was completely surprising and odd. She never imagined that he would appear so suddenly out of nowhere a friend that she needed so much in this time.

Painter eyes open but his gaze remains on the ground. His emotions seem to be running wild, fear, excitement, sorrow, happiness..and one other he could not place his finger on. It was giving him butterflies in his stomach and he was sure it wasn't nervousness, for he had nothing to be nervous of. He sighs and decides to put it aside to decipher for another time. "Very well.." he says, "I suppose we should get started then.." he slowly gets up to his feet and falters as he straightens up, leaning to the side and placing a hand on a tree for support. Trying to fight through it, her pushes himself upright and pushes his wings hard against the ground, thrusting into the air. "Give me your best wind gusts.." he says bracing himself.
She looked at him, she knew he needed practice but she also knew he wasn't ready for wind navigation yet. He still lacked strength and flexiblity in order to do wind navigation without over exerting his wings. But she decided since he picked to do this she'd let him see what he lacked. She created two not too hard winds, they were okay but they were no tornado which could've been created. These winds were strong and would prohibit movement in them. One was a North-eastern wind and the other was a South-Western which created somewhat like a circle of pressure and making it hard for winged animals. Birds could navigate it easily because of their experience but humans were not that skilled to get out of it. She figured this would either show he knew some navigation or he only knew how to flap his wings and soar.
The wind is a big part of flying, it's wild, untamable and free and once you master riding the wind just as freely without dying, then you can master anything. She remembered those words, she figured it was from a book. She remembered some of the things she knew from the past world of flying, she wished she could get her wings back again. She loved how she was able to ride the untamable wind how she loved the wind, she didn't picture her power as controling the wind. Only redirecting it as a mother would her child if it was going the wrong way. The wind was a unseeable thing yet no one could fully control it all, only some of the wind picked to be controled.

Painter takes a deep breath, preparing for the winds to hit him. It started small, but quickly grew larger. Before he knew it he was surrounded by more pressure than he'd ever felt while flying, and it circled him in a prison. His exhaustion plain on his face, just from managing to stay in the air from the initial blast. He quickly began to think his way out of the situation. The winds blew in from the Northeast and the Southwest, creating a prism around me as they met. Trying to fly higher up in this would be stupid, seeing as I get one wing caught in the winds and I'm dead as a doornail. Going down would be dumb because I'd just meet he ground. That leaves one option, and that's to go through the wind, which I lack the strength to do. However, maybe if I ride the winds long enough I'll build up speed and create a sort of slingshot affect, launching myself out..
Deciding that was his best course of action, he dove into the winds and began to circle as they did, tucking his wings before entering. He starts out at a moderate pace and slowly begins to pick up speed and, with the momentum, slowly getting pushed farther out of the center of the winds. Alright..now I have to figure how to stop this myself while I'm out. A sudden stop would cause to much exertion and I'd probably pass out. That and if I opened my wings to close the that thing I'd just get sucked back in. My only option is to soar for a few seconds and slowly open them, catch a breeze and glide back from there..
Suddenly he is launched out of the winds, going as fast as the winds themselves. He slowly opens his wings and catches the breeze under them, gliding around and back to where Allie stood, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were trying to kill me..that would have been difficult to get out of even without...wing..s.." Slowly exhaustion overcomes him and he falls out of the air and hits the ground with a thud, bouncing a little.

"I wasn't, you said to give it my best wind gusts. I could've done more but I didn't want to kill you and always could've stopped them. Anyway you did better than I thought you would, you still need more strength though. Your navigation is so/so because that wind by a professional is nothing and is easily surpassed without exertation. So you need to know the winds as well as you know the different terrains on the ground." She said to him.
"You put forth too much exertation, I don't know if I can show you what your supposed to do with your wings without having them myself but I'll think of a way to show you how to catch winds differently like sails how sailors adjust the sails so they don't die. You started to figure it out up there but there are many technics." She thought in her mind trying to figure out how to help him navigate without flying with wings. She sighed deciding to have him focus first on strength then on the others. "How about you stop for today so you don't hurt yourself with exertion and we focus on gaining strength first in your wings by strengthing your arms and wings by carrying things in the air. My weight was too must to start with so maybe start with a log and then work your way up to a human." She decided that would work for now.
