Sorry for the delay!! D: 500+
He laughed along with his niece, amused by her logic. Perhaps he found it so amusing because until a few months back, he had believed the same thing. Even though he had read about the humans’ invention of soaring planes, he believed it to be some tall tale until he had actually set his sights on one of them. The crashed jet was so similar to those pictures he had seen that he was forced to believe it to be true. The damage it had sustained could only have occurred if the vehicle had fallen from a great height. Despite discovering the truth, he still had no idea how they managed to actually make it fly. The idea that they could have used the wind was as far-fetched as any explanation he could possibly come up with. "Lei mi crederebbe se le ho detto gli esseri umani ha trovato che una maniera per volare con gli uccelli e con gli insetti e con i pipistrelli?"
He watched with amusement as the girl studied something in the darker parts of the windmill before she launched into a playful puppy stance. Soon after she darted excitedly over to the entrance both had used. "Vengo, vengo," he called as he stood and stretched. He had caught up to the excited puppy when she looked past him in the direction of that strange mechanism. He couldn’t help but smile at how her attention seemed to constantly flutter about. "Possiamo fare ciò che mai lei vuole." He followed her gaze back to the mechanism. "Diamo un'occhiata e la scoperta, fa fuori noi?" With that, he walked toward the strange object, beckoning her to follow with a nod of his head.
Ehno peered through the half-light around them, trying to determine exactly what the old thing was. The biggest part of it was a rectangular metal box that would have come up to his waist had he been in optime form. Above this box was a series of gears and rods that reached up to the ceiling, probably going up to a higher floor. Beside it was an empty bin made out of the same sheet of metal. What captured his attention was a lever set in the right side of the metal box. It was close enough to the ground that he could pull it down even in his four-legged form. He reared up onto his hind legs and used his front ones to push down on the old lever, but it let out a shrill creak of protest. Surprised at the sound, he released the lever and cringed slightly when it snapped back into place with a dull thud. He laughed nervously and looked over to Amata. "Forse non dovremmo toccarlo." Who knew what would happen if he pulled the old lever down. The structure was old, so there was a chance that it wouldn’t even work at all. There was also the chance that it would cause something to collapse, as the building was weighed down heavily by time. He didn’t want to do anything dangerous with the little one around.
