[Ekko watches along intently as his counterpart struggles to find the rope to pull up the sail at first, a small gasp escaping him when she almost slips and falls but thankfully catches herself. The last thing he needs is for Rise to fall off and smash her head on the way down or something terrible like that he'd feel pretty awful despite forewarning that she might do so beforehand.
When she sings him praises he cannot help but shrug his shoulders a little with a sincere smile along with it. He was used to whizzing through the skies above on a far more advanced hoverboard with precise movements so this was nothing by comparison.]
I'm used to something a little more unforgiving if you fall off so this is nothing. You're doing great though we're almost there just don't slip at the finish line, alright?
[Trying his best to give her a bit of reassurance, making sure she was paying close attention again before making his next move.]
Listen up, this is one of the last steps…Go ahead and grab the middle bar on the sail. It's how you steer along with that crossbar.
[Going over it slowly he does exactly as he says, securing his hands on the mast at both hold positions. He's never actually used a wind board before so he tests how to shift his weight and turn himself first before going over it. Moving the sail back he notes it catching the wind whilst shifting it forward resisting him. Now that he had the gist of it he looks back towards Rise one last time with his final instructions.]
Make sure you keep your weight in the center and keep your arms extended or you're going to end up eating it real quick! Once you pull the sail back it's game on so you best be ready, if you want to slow down to stop twist it forward. Let's do this!
