[Tek's descent is destined to be a dramatic one if only for the fact that he does find his limits up there. it's hard to see at that distance, even without the sun beaming down overhead yet, but there does seem to be a wobble in the dragon's flight. he either runs out of speed or runs into thin air devoid of updrafts, and his slowing trajectory eventually stalls out.
on the return, he manages to pull his flight into wide circles, stretching his wings out to their limits to effectively glide... but controlling descent at high speeds is not exactly his forte.
when his circling brings him down close to the trees again, it's to careen haphazardly across the tops of them, grazing leaves and twigs off in his wake. he is very lucky that he doesn't catch more than a few small branches from Robin's tree as he swoops past. it sounds much worse than it actually is, scales and spikes crashing across the tree and making it sway with the glancing blow.
he manages to level out right after. he pushes himself with powerful wingbeats to stay aloft just above the canopy, swooping in a continued arc to the side until he finally begins to climb again. just enough chaos to be dangerous, before he settles into a steadier orbit--going half a mile out, but then turning back, just circling the area.]
