Awwww, this was lovely! And a little bittersweet, as well. I love Michael's tenacity despite his nerve as well as all the obstacles he faced.

"Roger Davies does not yet respect my tenacity for flight," Michael replied.

"So he'd be snickering with the others, then."

:D You have a lovely way with banter, mystery author.

I was wondering how you were going to wrap it up, but the way you closed was perfect. :) Poor Michael!

I LOVE their banter!
This was a lovely piece! And I think you rounded it off rather nicely~ Oooh... I can just imagine him trying again and again and again...
Well done!! :D

Thank you! I had such fun writing banter, haha. I am very glad you liked it!

Awww, poor Michael! Funny and just a little sad. *pets him*

[bluemermaid]

Aw, Michael will be all right. He's too tenacious to feel bad about trying again, haha.

This was wonderful! There's something lovely and even heroic about Michael's optimistic tenacity in the face of constant failure. I loved how his friends ribbed him but were concerned for him just the same; the dialogue was hilarious. This had a very Ravenclaw feel to it, which was a treat as well. :)

Thank you so much! I don't write Ravenclaws much, so I am very pleased to hear it worked for you. :)
