"Aw! Thanks a ton for teaching me Eviaan!" The fact that Melanie had been mercilessly ridden for hours on end in exchange for the lesson suddenly seemed to slip her mind, and she just about tackled Umi in excitement as she applauded. "Oh man, once I get better with this, I bet I can try and take you flying with me! Maybe it would work? I dunno, but right now, I'm just real happy!" She scooped up the Zil in a swinging hug, before setting her back down. That lever was a tantalizing treat just overhead, and with new determination to fuel her wits, she took a deep breath, re-learned her rhythm, and then took to the air again. She was still wobbly, but with enough confidence that her wings would keep her in the air, she rose up, and just bit by bit, she coasted slowly closer to the lever. She reached out as far as she could, ready to lunge and pull the lever within her grasp the moment she was close enough.
