Fortunately for Peter (or maybe not-so-fortunately), Daine's too wrapped up in trying to figure out an inoffensive way to explain her idea to be particularly offended that he's pointing out her limitations. It's regrettably true that she can't take bat shape, but honestly, she's not sure how much help her demonstrations would even be. What she could do is carefully move him the way he'd need to move, but she doubts he'd like the idea of her manipulating his little limbs as if he's a toy.

"Well," she says delicately, "I could show you how you need to move by actually moving you. I'd be very careful not to hurt you," she hastens to add. Figuring they could start simply, she suggests, "If you were to lie on your back, say, I could slowly move my hand below the platform, and then you could try nabbing it with your feet as you pass beneath it. You'd only have to focus on grabbing hold instead of trying to do that and fly."

And once he got the hang of grabbing a perch with his feet in that manner, maybe he'd let her help show him the way he has to sort of cartwheel through the air to get his feet in that position while flying. Maybe.
