[Beat immediately turns to the voice, waving a hand as he skates on over, remembering Hawks from their first interaction over the network.]

Yo! Man, I seen them on the phones, but it's hella different seein' 'em up close.

[His wings are larger than Beat expected, not having accounted for them when he first pitched the idea of teaching skateboarding. But he's not one to back away from something like this.]

You an' me's gonna have to make some adjustments, aight? Let's get you on this board. [He steps off, letting Hawks get on, giving him a couple of instructions on how to find his center of gravity and balancing himself on it.] Jus' take it nice an' easy. You don't gotta get of the ground 'til you's ready to.

If that's gonna help ya figure it out, I ain't stoppin' you.

[Not like he knows any better.]

An' if you got any questions, jus' shoot, aight? D'you need help gettin' on?

[He'll offer a hand if he needs it.]

[It happens so quickly that Beat barely has any time to react after he lets go of Hawks. The skateboard flies off a short distance, stopping when it hits a nearby post, bouncing off until it rolls to a stop.]

Didn't think you was gonna fall on your ass that quick. You aight?

[He looks sheepishly at Hawks, he reaches out a hand once more to help him on his feet.]

C'mon, yo. Tha's like the first thing about skateboards, yo! We ain't talking 'bout hoverboards or nothin'!

[He goes to fetch the board, stepping on with ease and riding it back. He gets off once again when he's by Hawks.]

You ready for anotha' shot?

[For a moment, Beat absentmindedly stares at Hawks' wings. They were certainly much larger than the one he's seen on the Reapers back home, so he can't help but wonder about its functionality. Or he had to deal with them in his everyday life. But he brushes that thought away, focusing on what they were doing instead.]

Nah, don't blame ya. Gotta be a waste if you ain't using them.

[This time he's ready in case there's another slip, watching the entire time as Hawks steps on.]

Tha's it, yo. Jus' take it real easy an' focus on your balance when you hop on.

[Quirk? What's that? But he's a little too distracted seeing him balancing on it to ask right now.]

Hell yeah, you are! Aight, just get a feel for it. Gonna be wobbly while you gettin' used to it. When you got it, jus' give it a kick 'gainst the ground to get ya movin'.

[He does the action while stationary to give Hawks a bit more guidance.]

Jus' that it slow.
