[b2_dragon]

[The dragon at least seems to calm a little, but he extends his wings again to see if he can help a little by catching the wind.]

[raavashing]

[Wan didn't stop his airbending just because Toothless spread his wings. Hiccup had been clear that the dragon needed the tail fin adjusted to fly properly. So while Toothless could definitely catch some air, Wan was going to continue to be careful with their descent.

It remained slow, steady. The mini-tornado they rode at the top of never wavering.]

[summing_it_up]

[The boy's nerves have lessened enough for him to get back into pilot mode. He takes another breath, in and out, hastily checking everything.]

Okay, okay. Here we go.

[The gear shifts, letting the tailfin fan out for Toothless.]

[b2_dragon]

[The dragon felt the lift even out now that he had his tail to help steady them, and he gwarfed at Wan, perhaps to tell him they had it under control.

He doesn't know how long the unusual winds will keep up, but if Wan appears tired from it, Toothless is ready to snatch him up and take them down the rest of the way.]

[raavashing]

[When Toothless made the noise at him, Wan figured it meant that he was ready to fly.

Three quick circles of his arms had the tornado leaving the space under Toothless and moving to extend to the ground as the top wrapped around Wan's lower body. It held him up, but it was a lot of power. He shifted his own focus to lowering himself to the ground before he exhausted himself.

Which... didn't quite happen. About forty feet up he could no longer grasp the power of the element and the tornado wavered in warning before dropping out from under him entirely. Wan's eyes rolling up in his head as he started to pass out from the over-use.]

[summing_it_up]

[See? Everything is going smoothly again, yay!

Except for the fact that Wan has just fainted.]

Wan!! Toothless!

[The Night Fury has the better senses here, but Hiccup shifts gears simultaneously.]

[b2_dragon]

[The winds are starting to lessen, and it doesn't look good for Wan. The situation is altogether too familiar.

Toothless immediately tucks his wings in to make that dive so he could catch the falling man before he landed horribly.]

[raavashing]

[Wan fought to stay conscious, but it was a fight he was loosing. The last thing he saw was Toothless and Hicccup diving toward him as the air rushed past his ears.]

[summing_it_up]

[Seeing the drop from this perspective only reminds him of what he went through. It doesn't make him feel any better.

Down he and Toothless go, speeding up in their descent. They may even pass Wan at this point; being too close to the ground is a risk for flying and falling, but this is the only way he can maneuver the catch.]

Hold on...!

[At this stage, he steadies the flight path again, flying Toothless at the man.]

–Get him, bud!!

[b2_dragon]

[Toothless grunts, sweeping sharply upwards at Hiccup's call, adjusting his tail and wings as they pull up abruptly from their dive. Once they come within range of Wan, he's going to carefully snatch the man up with his stubby claws so that they can carry him safely to land.]

[raavashing]

[Wan would be very grateful to know that Toothless was so careful with him. When he wakes up in a couple hours, safe and alive, he'll definitely try to thank the Dragon anyway he can.

ooc:skip to him waking up?]

[summing_it_up]

[ooc: sure thing!]

...Hey. Wan??

[Concern is heard in Hiccup's voice as he hovers over Wan, not caring if the sand he walks through on his knees gets all over the place.]

You okay? Do you need anything? Water? Food??

[b2_dragon]

[Toothless is nearby, peering anxiously at the man, glancing between him and Hiccup.]

[raavashing]

[Wan groggily wakes up to the sound of Hiccup's voice and manages to get sitting upright before he blinks blearily at the other man. It takes him a moment to realize that the last thing he remembered was falling out of the sky, but then he was a bundle of energy.]

Hiccup! Toothless! Are you okay? I didn't meant to make us fall! Neither of you are hurt are you?!

[summing_it_up]

[He sits back to give him more room, sighing in relief as he glances back at Toothless. A small smile toward the dragon and Wan's voice should cover the fact things are all right. Hiccup nods at Wan, then shakes his head. It gets a little confusing.]

Yeah, we– we're fine! Been fine! What about you? You were carrying the both of us, so that had to be hard on you.

[raavashing]

It was.

[And it shouldn't have been. But that wasn't something he seemed to be able to do anything about.]

But it's okay. Toothless got himself righted before it was a problem.

[Wan reached out to Toothless, looking to pet him again now that they were safe on the ground.]

Sorry about that. I'll remember to keep the chin scratching for when we aren't in the air.

[b2_dragon]

[Toothless nudges Wan's hand, looking relieved to see that he's awake.]

[summing_it_up]

[Not thinking about what could've gone wrong is what they needed to do, all right.]

Hey, we all make mistakes. I'm glad we all worked fast enough to keep that from happening.

[raavashing]

[Wan took the okay from Toothless to scratch at his ridges again. He enjoyed petting other creatures like that and it was a difficult habit to break sometimes.]

Yeah. Mistakes.

[His voice and demeanor shifted briefly to one of melancholy before he shook it off and the smile returned.]

I think I'm going to have to walk back to the ship, though. Or just stay here for a while. You two will be fine with your flying, right?

[summing_it_up]

[Hiccup pets Toothless on the snout, nodding at Wan's decision.]

We'll be trying again, all right. Toothless is awake, so there's nothing to worry about.

...Still, if you need a lift, just say so.

[raavashing]

You could carry me?

[summing_it_up]

Yeah. There's enough room for one other person if they're not the pilot.

[raavashing]

I've never flown on a dragon's back before. Could I now?

[summing_it_up]

Sure! If you feel up to it.

[raavashing]

I'd love to! And I wouldn't have to walk back to the ship!
