Most of his forms - Soren's a boy! [ He is, and looked a bit offended about the she remark. As...much as a bird can look offended, if you just met the pokemon recently. Ikki notably says "forms" instead of "moves", but she's also calling them airbending, so. ] - anyway, most of them are airbending. A few aren't, but "Rest" is a healin' form! ...And also makes Soren sleep?
[ She just. Glances over at the bird, who nods. Welp. ] Anyway, the thing he learned most recently was - actually, I don't think it was any of these moves.
Well, it was, but from what he showed me just now, I think they were doing two at once? [ There's a trill of agreement, and Ikki frowns at the list, not upset, just thinking about it. She's trying to picture the demonstration she got, the first day she came back. ] ...I'm gonna guess it was, um, "Aerial Ace" an' then "Air Slash"?
[ Partial points. There's also an "Agility" in there, but Chien never really talked about the moves in name. The names don't sound as interesting as they look in action, anyway, and Ikki's known the best way to get Soren to airbend for her for a while (the rare times he doesn't start off doing it first): flatter him and ask nicely. ] Soren, Katara reaaaaaaaally wants to see that one, an' so do I! Pretty please?
[ WELL SINCE YOU ASKED SO NICELY no he'd do it anyway look at this guys he is so cool. The Swellow takes off upward into the sky, looping around in the clouds and cutting a particular one down smaller and smaller with each pass. The Agility and Aerial Ace combo means he's moving as fast as he was the first time Ikki saw this trick - Chien had been emphasizing speed training - and the cloud meets an untimely end at the hands of an Air Slash.
Cloud demolished, Soren glides back down to the three humans on the ground, clearly waiting to be praised for his awesome skills.
Ikki, at least, obliges the way she normally does for his feats - clapping and laughing. ] I've been practicing to see if I can get that slash down but I haven't got it yet! You're amazing, Soren! I bet you'd get more from it if you did a dive while you did it, though. You go reaaaaaaaaally fast then, and if you do something while you drop, it goes more! I blew all the leaves off a tree once! ...And then I got in trouble, so actually, maybe you shouldn't do that...
[ Advice from a crazy airbending child who has jumped off a sky bison before, y'know, no big deal. If noting else, Ikki's pretty secure in what to do when you're in the air. ]
