Nalia was quick to follow and keep up with her new friend, though as the duo went further up the rocky incline the filly dropped back to avoid crowding Kove. She didn't want either of them slipping after all, but just in case, Nalia kept her wings slightly off her back in case she slipped and had to catch herself.
Kove called back to Nalia to let her know it wasn't much further, which had Nalia smiling. Indeed, they only traversed another few feet or so before they reached the top, a strong wind blowing up against them as a draft from the winds coming up from the valley below. The ledge was large enough for both fillies to stand there comfortably, looking out down at the world below. Nalia opened her wings some to let the wind brush against her, a comforting presence like her dam from all those years ago. She felt at home in the sky as much as she did on the ground, and she was quite happy to share this new experience with a new friend.
Kove asked a question that Nalia almost missed due to the deafening winds, but her keen hearing got the gist of it. She nodded her head, "Pretty close, but it's a whole different feeling to actually soar through the sky."
To emphasize her point, Nalia opened her wings and leaped from the ledge, allowing her weight to carry her down before she tilted her body to catch the draft. It allowed her to glide over the valley, still a high distance into the air before she flipped so that she was now flying with her stomach to the sky and her back to the ground. Since it was a tricky maneuver she didn't hold it for long, folding her wings to turn over again before flapping the feathered appendages and heading higher into the sky.
Turning midair, she headed back for her friend, not wanting to seem like a showoff. When she got close to the volcano ledge, she flapped her wings to slow down so she was hovering close to Kove, noticing how the filly had had neck outstretched and eyes closed in bliss, almost as if she was imagining what it'd be like to soar through the sky like Nalia.
Then, something caught the filly's attention. She almost thought she was seeing something, a trick of the light, until she realized it was quite literally the light reflecting off of Kove's body in a fashion she hadn't seen before. Unaware of her friend's ability to manipulate the light of the sun, Nalia's eyes widened until they could be twice their own size, her jaw dropping open when she realized what had happened to the filly.
She now had a pair of wings on her back! Not like Nalia's own, which were feathered like a bird's, but wings made of what appeared to be sunlight! She was so struck that she could hardly get two consecutive words out, lifting a hoof and pointing at the filly's back as she tried to speak.
"Uh... Kove... back... your... sunlight... wings... what... huh?"
@[Kove] I agree, this will be fun
