H-haha, yeah, you're right. I'm taking this a little too quickly! I should just try to get a bit of lift.
[Ryou knows that makes sense, he's just trying to put up a brave front. It's not working very well, he imagines, but at least he's trying, right?
Nervously, he drops to all fours in one slow, smooth movement. As a manticore, he does have a high jump radius. Not quite as high as when he was a werewolf, but pretty high anyway. He flares his wings out to either side, takes a deep, calming breath...then jumps in place.
It's not artful. It is high enough that he can flap his wings downward in one powerful motion though, propelling himself upwards and giving him at least ten feet of height. Unfortunately, it's at a dangerous angle, and Ryou panic-flaps his wings out of sync in an attempt to straighten himself out.
...And there he goes over the roof edge. The panicked yowl he lets out sure is something, sorry to anyone who was trying to sleep.]
