[Barry is too busy bracing himself, fists curled tight, legs bending at the knees, watching the lady intently as she wiggles her fingers in the air. Any minute now. Any minute, and he's gonna be floating, he's gonna be flying, positively soaring through the air, just a couple seconds now, just a few mysterious magic words, and he's gonna be off the ground--
A tiny shift of his foot is enough to tip him off. Where he expects to feel sand shifting underneath his chunky boot, he just feels nothing. The boy stiffens. He glances down, both feet wiggling, meeting no resistance.
He starts squealing. Initially it's hard to tell whether he's excited or terrified.]
Higher! Higher!! Please can I go higher?? [Barry giggles, a shrill sound of nervous joy as he moves around in the air, trying - and completely failing - to control his movements and do a cool flip. Instead he just kind of wobbles, arms flailing, his little legs kicking fruitlessly.]
