"Ah, uhh." Lyra stared dumbly for a while. "Oh, ma'am. Sorry, I'm just wondering how did you manage to do... that. Flying. It looks so," it took her an uncertain second before she found the word, "[i]improbable[/i]?"

There were two kinds of air students in the world, those who wanted to learn how to fly before learning anything else without realizing how much training was required, and those who were so grounded in 'conventional science' as to deem human flight impossible. But this girl had said 'improbable' rather than 'impossible'. Catherine smirked, almost evilly, this young student having piqued her interest with that one word. [color=f49ac2]"It is rather mind-boggling, isn't it?"[/color] She asked rhetorically in a voice light as air and clear as wind chimes. [color=f49ac2]"But you're right, flight isn't easy, nor is it intuitive. Some can spend a lifetime and never truly master it, and each person finds their own approach, whatever comes easiest to them or whatever makes the most sense to them. My own approach is a bit...on the metaphysical side. But you have quite the gift yourself; sound is not an easy aspect of air to master, but it seems you might have the knack for it. Oh, but I am getting ahead of myself, my name is Catherine Hargreaves. Formality will require you to call me 'Ms. Hargreaves', but as long as you're not in my classroom, feel free to call me Catherine."[/color]
