Logic brain kicked in instead of writer brain. Below is a gif of me trying to figure out the logic behind deployable wings. They are modeled after bat wings.

There are people who can control the air, Zephyrs (air benders) who have suits inspired by flying squirrels. They have giant squirrels as mounts. Kun is too heavy as he is built like a heavy brawler. The small membrane on the Zephyrs' suits. Fen designed a suit that has deployable wings that mimic bat wings. The larger wings can hold Kun's weight better.

He can't fly for shit, but he started learning only a month ago.

Flora and the Zephyrs (1898), by J.W. Waterhouse

Again based on Ovidius, Flora is the Roman goddess of spring, flowers and nature. Here she is shown being kissed on her arm by Zephyrus, the god of the benevolent western wind, who has brought his disciples: the Zephyrs. The god traps Flora in a chain of white roses.

The most famous depiction of the same scene is the Primavera from Botticelli. Besides the seduction, Botticelli also showed the pregnancy of Flora. She is therefore also the goddess of new life. Waterhouse highlighted that by the voluptuous breasts, which are well exposed by Flora’s raised arms.

The painting was commissioned by George McCulloch, a retired businessman who made a fortune in Australian silver mining.
