Korina nodded and patted the male's hands in comfort. "I'm sorry. Wish there was something I could do to help you. It would certainly be nice to be able to speak." She glanced back at the back of the shop hoping everything was going alright. Then she smiled and looked up at the male. "I got it! I do have a way to help you! It will have to wait till I can get to my house. I have something there that would be able to make it easier for you to at least write. You wouldn't need to carry around a pad if paper and own everywhere."
The male walked back in to the room and began strapping the harness to Tayva. He helped her in to it, tightening it in the correct places and pulling it tight around her hips and chest. He stepped back and nodded. "Alright, how does it feel. This is simply a safety device, not actually a part of the hang glider." He held a backpack up and helped her slide in to it. Then he attached the pack to the harness and tugged on it to make sure it was well connected. "Alright, we'll give you a simple hang glider to start with, none of this stunt stuff. What's your favorite color?" He grabbed her hand and began leading her down the rows of colorful fabric slowly so she could see all the different gliders.

"It feels comfortable enough." Tayva replied, shifting her stance to ensure that there was no chafing or discomfort in simple movement. The bag that followed would weigh her down more, though she was still able to move about without too much trouble. Following the man down row upon row of different gliders, she took note of all of the different design and styles of glider that he had. It must have been a successful business to stock so much.
"I'll take the blue one." she smiled, stopping at one particular glider. The fabric was a deep sapphire blue, dark enough to stand out from the sky, with lighter blue highlights racing about the fabric to highlight the device's shape.
The man nodded and pulled the glider out. He told her to go on back out with the others and he would load the rest of the equipment in the truck. He walked away with a wink at her and disappeared out the back door with her glider in his hands. He made several trips in and out carrying out an assortment of gear to be used in her experience to help her maintain safety while also having an amazing time.
Korina was still talking with the Talos. Well, she was speaking and he was writing. However it was working and they where successfully communicating. Korina pointed as Tayva would reappear, now clad in the safety harness and parachute just in case. Korina giggled and smiled. "You look adorable in that stuff Tayva. I think you gonna have such a good time. Although it may not be exactly what you where wanting at least it will be close!" She smiled one on her brilliant smiles and reached out to hug the other girl despite the fact she only came up to about the girl's navel in her chair. Then she looked back at Talos and grinned. "What do you think Talos? Doesn't she look cute?"

Rubbing the back of her head with a small grin, Tayva managed to hug the girl back, having to bend down to do so. "I don't know about looking cute in this... but I think we'll have fun for sure." the girl replied with a smile. "Anyways I think we're almost all ready to head out, just as soon as the last of the equipment is loaded up. I can't wait to get up in the air."
Meanwhile Talos watched the two girls, head tilted to the side. He wasn't quite sure what to make about the girl's sudden change in demeanor, but figured it was common for humans. At least she wasn't dimwitted, like many other humans he had encountered. Perhaps she would be one of the few good ones.
Korina smiled an gently disengaged from the hug. The man walked back in and nodded. "Well, are we all set to go? Everything is loaded. We just got to drive about fifteen minutes up to the top of the mountain. Everybody coming? There's room for all of you." He smiled as he walked up and touched Tayva's hand then moved away slightly trying to pretend he hadn't meant to.
Korina watched with amusement. The man had seemed to become fond of Tayva quite quickly. She thought it was kinda cute. "Well, I'm not the one going hang gliding so I am always ready. Talos? Tayva? Ready to go you two?" She grinned and poked Talos side. "Gonna be a gentleman and escort me out? Seems my friend has somebody else to escort out." She giggled as the man had ready offered his arm to Tayva.

Talos blinked in some confusion, not quite certain of what the woman meant as he was still unfamiliar with many human customs. He looked up to Tayva, who was trying to hide a redness in her cheeks as Korina's friend had so innocently try and touch her hand.
"She wants you to lead her out." she replied, through their invisible bond, before smiling and taking the man's arm that had been offered, following him out to the truck. Studying them from behind, Talos tried to get a sense of what it was he was supposed to do, looking down at Korina and carefully offering her his hand. He wasn't sure what the symbolism was supposed to mean, but if it let him blend in, then all the better.
Korina giggled and poked the male's hand before taking pity on him. "My wheelchair Talos....you escort, or go with me, by pushing my wheelchair instead of making me wheel out." She smiled up at him sweetly.
She waited till they where outside and looked back at him. "Will you help me get in Talos please?" She held her hands out to him, unable to make the transfer from the low wheelchair in to the much higher truck. As Talos helped her her friend, after making sure Tayva was inside the truck, folded her wheelchair up and place it in the back.
"Good thing you don't use an electric wheelchair Korina. That would be a beast to get in here with the glider." He said laughing. Korina smiled and nodded knowingly. She smiled and kissed Talos cheek after he got her in to the vehicle.
"Thank you Talos. Why do you think I choose to use a manual? Not to mention it helps me from getting fat and lazy by making me use my own two arms. I don't know what I would do if I was fat." She made a face of horror, then broke out giggling and poked Tayva. "Are you excited? Ready to go flying the first time ever with out a plane?" She wasn't aware Tayva's source of flight was not a plane but a dragon.

Talos nodded, seeming to correct the mistake quickly after scratching the back in his head. He grasped the handlebars that resided at the back of her chair, which would allow others to push the occupant around. Upon reaching the truck and being requested to help her in, he judged the distance between her wheelchair and the truck, before gingerly slipping his arms under her legs, lifting her up with ease into the spot next to Tayva. He soon joined the rest of the group after folding up her chair and setting it in the back.
"Of course, it's not every day that you get to go out hang gliding. At least that's the case for me." Tayva grinned.
Korina smiled as she was helped outside, then Talos helped her in to the motorized vehicle. She waited as he put the wheelchair in the back then he came up and joined them in the truck. She watched him climb in then looked at Tayva. She was so excited and it was so adorable. She really hoped that everything went well and that Tayva had the time of her life. She really wished she could get up there as well, but alas that would be impossible in her wheelchair.
She listened to the music playing from the radio as the truck carried them to their destination. The rumbled along, heading up the mountains. Once in a meadow the truck stopped. Her friend helped Talos out then Korina and helped her in to the wheelchair. Then he got back in the truck and began driving with Tayva to the jump point. Getting there he help her out with a kiss to her hand then set the glider up quickly with practiced ease and looked at her. You ready?"

Climbing out of the truck, Tayva nodded with an eager look on her face, cheeks reddening once more as her hand was kissed by her new friend. "As ready as I'll ever be." she grinned, watching with interest as he set up the glider. It was clear that he had done this many times before, moving with great ease as he skillfully set up the glider.
Meanwhile Talos and Korina watched from below, the disguised dragon shifting between his feet in some angst. He couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy toward the idea of leaving Tayva alone. Even if he could see her, there was still the risk that something could go wrong up in the air.
Korina was watching with amusement, seeing the man making sure to touch Tayva as much as possible. She looked over at Talos and saw him fidgeting, looking exceptionally nervous. She extended a hand and laid it upon his forearm. "Talos, your nervous? Do you not like that man touching her? Or is it you don't like her flying? She is perfectly safe. I have done this, and I have seen hundreds others. He is an expert. Be calm friend."
Up on he cliff the man finished adjusting all the straps and checking, running his hands along the curve of her sides and butt, then stood up. "Alright, this is actually really simple. You take a running start at the cliff, then jump off as hard as you can. Tuck you legs back up on this bar and it gives you a more stream lined shape so you fly longer. Turning is easy as well, all you do is lean gently while holding on to this bar, an you will bank, or turn, in that direction. Easy enough right. The hardest part is landing, and for that all you do is when your near the ground drop your feet off this bar and begin running in mid air while pulling back on this bar. That makes sure you don't stop to roughly and strain any muscles or anything is all. You ready?" He looked at her then suddenly leaned in close and kissed her on the lips firmly, then pulled away and hopped in his truck and waited for her to jump off the cliff.
