As she climbed atop the end of his tail, one of his lower limbs raised to encourage her higher onto his back than she had clung to before. While his almost fin like spines did reach over the length of his tail, they did not extend over the top of his back. Once she was securely aboard, Thane began plunging both his upper and lower limbs into the solid rock surface, climbing straight up the cliff wall like a massive six legged creature.
*"And will you teach me how all them mcbobbles and gadgets work?"*
As Thane climbed, his movement seemed effortless. The straightening of his spine between his upper and lower half seemed to give him no discomfort as it flattered out against the rock face. And as his six different limbs climbed the desert wall, his movement seemed to be with the same ease as a lizard stepping over a horizonal plain. From appearances, it may even have seemed more natural for his anatomy climbing a vertical surface than walking normally for him on his lower four lower extremities. Furthermore, Thane wasn't gripping ahold of the rock surface and climbing it. He was sinking his arms and claws through the soil of the wall, more as if he were digging vertically up it's surface. His limbs pierced through the earth like some subterranean creature, begging the question of whether he could have just tunneled through the ground entirely had Kalypso not been riding upon his back.
"From what I understand about human culture, it's like a hive of worker bees. Humans individually hold the capacity to learn any skill, however they seem to delegate and branch off into learn different things and sharing their talents so that no one person has to learn everything." He says while expediently hauling them up the lengthy cliff. "If you wish to learn, I can find somebody to teach you."
Thane didn't seem bothered by the question about if he could fly. But as they neared the plateau, his only response was, "Just wait..."
Once he brought them over the edge, his spine straightened up again and Kalypso would now find herself sitting almost horse mount style over his back. His tail shifted to encourage her not to dismount from him as she later asked, *"Now what?"*
"Now... we go for a run." He said while staring ahead over the short mesa which topped across the base. "It's not far, not by how I travel. But by going this way, it is much faster than having set out on foot." Then with a bit of a slow gallop Thane trotted forward, then accelerated into a run, until he was hard tearing across the top of the mountain side. For the passenger upon his back the ride would not have been too bad if not for the obvious viewpoint that Thane was quickly running out of ground beneath him. At great speed he brought the two of them straight to the mesa edge and then gave a mighty leap like some furious hulk that propelled the two of them through the air.
Down below was far more than just the height of the cliff face Thane had climbed. They were now traveling through the air over a massive drop with nothing but harsh stone desert country beneath them. And it became immediately apparent when Thane's forward momentum came to a halt, leaving the two simply falling through the air instead.
That was when the dragonkin finally took flight. The spanse of his wings were massive compared to how they looked while he kept them recoiled. Two enormous, leathery, muscle veined flaps caught against the air pressure and glided them back up atop of the breeze. Once they had stabilized over the air current, their flight was maintained but the ride was no where as smooth. His flapping wings were more than enough to keep him airborne even with the added weight of Kalypos's body holding tight to him. But the awkward body mass worked against him. His physical stature within the air was more like that of a wasp, flying vertically with his lower half hanging downward and his tail like an elongated stinger.
Even though the joint of his lower hips would have given Kalypso a nice little saddle to secure her legs through, he was no eagle soaring smoothly through the sky. His mighty wings flapped and flapped, proving his maneuverability in the air to be both slow as well as awkward. In physicality, Thane was just too big, his wings were located too high on his figure instead of being centrally located, and his shape was just not aerodynamic enough to maintain smooth flight. However, even if bumpy they were still flying as he took them over other cliffs and rock surfaces where they had been no road or valley to navigate by land.
When Thane finally came to a descent, it was atop the surface of a small plateau and his landing was surprisingly graceful. He wasted in time in lowering a hind leg to ease her dismount from him and turned to see if she needed to right herself after their trip. "We are here." He said and eventually led her to the plateau edge once she looked like she was ready.
Down below was not a continuation of the endless desert with dry and jagged rocks protuding upward through the sand. Instead was an incredibly deep pool of water. It was incredibly still and was dark in the center, sinking into what could be an enormous underground cavern. "This water I'm told used to cover this whole area, once upon a time. All these valleys and cliff ways were carved as the water flowed and eventually receded from the area." Then gripping the edge with his front claws he peered down. "I brought you here because I want to see what you can do. I can tell you are well adapted to hot climates. And the volcanic nature to beneath your surface need not be explained to me." He said while gesturing toward the magma like tissue peaking out between the plate like skin of her body, the experience not being incredibly unlike pointing out to a woman that her nipple had become exposed while a man revealed that he was staring at it.
"However," he continued on, "I can smell, water, on you." He phrased awkwardly, perhaps not having the words to accurately describe how his senses worked. "I want to see if you can swim, and what your capabilities could be in the water." He told her. "That is why we have come here. For me to measure your aquatic prowess." He explained. Although in this case it worked in his favor that his facial expressions were limited as he thought to himself, *"Yes, you have physically shown off enough to her now. Give her the chance to shine now. Let her feel like the star of the moment and become confident around you. And then show that you can respect those abilities of hers. Give her your side of mutual respect first, and you very well may receive her side of it in return."* He thought to himself as a sort of pep talk. Anything, to stave off his predatory nature of just grabbing and raping or eating the female where she stood. *"I will follow the advice of the movies and see how well I have learned. I will adapt, to learn to skills of a pact predator with a mate, rather than being a lone hunter. I will gain these skills, and discover what it means to love, if in time she will have me."* He told himself as the three separate set of nostrils upon his snout shifted while he breathed and his gills behind his jaws seemed to flex.
