"Doesn't it just?" He says with a chuckle. Part of the uniforms were the safety lines that all members of the crew were supposed to attach to rails as you moved around the deck. Of course, most never bothered and he usually didn't but with the children there today he was wearing his tether. The good old fashioned non-magical tether was supposed to be the first line of defence, the feather fall jackets the last.
Anyway, that was just to explain that there was little risk to the children as they looked over the railing and down at the ground. However, Blake kept them steady at a height that put them just above the average tower. "Alright crewmen!" He calls to the children. "To see if you are ready to go above the crowds you have to prove you can follow orders!" Then he starts to instruct them on what to do aboard the ship and more little jobs they can do when he calls for them to do it.

She grinned and both watched the children, and participated. She made sure to keep showing Ambre how to use the tether properly, while the boys got the knack of it easily enough.

About an hour into the flight Devrin was reasonably certain that he had the kids following instructions dutifully. Once he is sure they are taking things seriously enough to listen he adjusts the controls and they are to ascend again heading straight for a fluffy white cloud.

The kids all cheered and whooped when they ascended higher. They were all very excited to be high up and flying just like Blake and Camilla used to. She took note in their joy and wondered why they hadn't done it sooner.

They hit the cloud and the children get to shiver a bit as they breakthrough in a swirl of mist as they emerge ontop of the massive fluffy cloud and skirt across its top. The ship now covered in a thin sheet of raindrops but the material the jacket was made of repelled water and kept the heat in despite how the air had taken on a chill. Fortunately, there were enchantments to make sure the air didn't get too thin,

The climb was exciting and Ambre especially gave a squeal of joy because she was the one who wanted to go above the clouds. She clapped her little hands. The boys were also impressed, whooping and hollering and having a grand old time. "That was fun, papa!"

"Wait until you experience a dive." He teases the children softly. He actually knew quite a few maneuvers that the children would doubtless have been thrilled by. However, they were also of the kind you only did with an experienced crew that knew how to properly brace themselves to not break a limb, their neck, or simply tumble over the side. A dive was fairly easy to brace for and quite thrilling, so long as he didn't make the angle too steep. A nose dive would end very poorly.

Camilla shook her head with a smile toward her husband and kids, knowing that Blake would never do such a dangerous thing with the children on board. She wouldn't put the nosedive passed him when there were no kids, however. "One day when they are older and know how to handle such things," she murmured, nevertheless.

"Well, they will get one dive today." He says with a chuckle. "That is unavoidable, but it won't be too steep. Well, unless the children are very good and follow all of their orders through the entire flight." He says this last part loud enough for the children to hear. It was windy above deck, not as windy as it should have been thanks to some clever spell work on the front for the ship but still quite loud.

The kids all cheered and eagerly awaited said nosedive. She grinned at them and then at Blake, "Alright, but just this once," she said with a wink to her husband to let him know that it was said in jest for the benefit of the children.

He snorts at his wife as they continue to fly above the clouds, the glimpses of land below showed the Gauldish countryside passing by at a steady clip. The children were on their best behaviour and as such as they approached the island of Travere he sets them into a step dive, nearly sixt degrees which was a thrilling thing to be part of, the children whooping in delight as they approach the port.

Once they had landed, the children all continued to cheer and act happy that they got to nosedive in such a manner. Camilla chuckled at their reaction, but went a little pale for a moment as the boat came to a stop. After a moment, she was fine. It wasn't the first time she had ever looked that way after a maneuver such as that, but she wasn't complaining. Color returned to her cheeks in no time as she anticipated getting off the ship with her family to go enjoy Travere.

Looping his arm through Camilla's Blake calls to the children, telling the boys to take their sister's hand. That would keep them all together and hopefully all walking around at the same speed which would be slow enough for the parents to observe and intervene at a moment's notice. They had no set schedule so he wanted the children to lead the way just so long as they stayed together.

As they walked, she rested her head on his shoulder. The children were excitedly pulling each other along as they saw sights and listened to the sounds. "This is lovely, Blake," she murmured. "We should do this often." She chuckled.

"Perhaps not to Travere every time, but I agree these trips will be good for the children." They were spending a bit too much time about the house in his opinion. They'd had to get them private tutors rather than sending them to the school so they weren't seeing much in the way of children their own age. Being out like this would give the kids some time to socialize with people that weren't on their parent's payroll.

She agreed with him as far as the children needing to get out more. It made her feel a little bad that they were practically hermits as of late. It was quite refreshing to see more of the world after being in one's own little bubble. "It will be good for them, yes."
