Trying to do as he said, she started leaning back. The broom was just starting to slow down just a bit as the boy grabbed hold of her hand, slowed her down to a stop. She just sat there floating next to him, face pale, knuckles white. “I j-just don’t know w-what went wrong.” Though, it probably had to do with what he had said right before she kicked off the second time.

"Shhh," was the first thing Max said, shaking his head. "It's okay. You're fine. See?" He gestured to the fact that she was still in one piece and currently hovering in the air. "You did a good job of staying on the broom. I think... you probably just leaned too far forward. To land, you want to very gently lean the broom forward in a small motion - not lean forward all together. It's okay, though. No harm done. I'm here."

Max gave her another encouraging smile. Well, as long as they were already airborne... "While we're already in flight, d'you... want to continue along? Slowly this time, perhaps, with just a small lean forward on the broom? We could just coast this level above the ground for awhile till you feel comfortable? Or... d'you want to be done for today?" He would understand if she wanted to quit, but he truly hoped she would want to press forward; she was showing so much potential. After all, she hadn't fallen off the broom. That was improvement, by the sound of it.
