Practice for the elements. [Anyone]

It was a good thing no one was around. This helped Crysta not focus too much or worry for anyone around because that made things worse. It made her more nervous. She was practicing on her water right now. She had a large bucket with a lot of water since most of it would end up on the floor. She tried to lift some water off the bucket as she lifter both hands up. After about six tries, she managed to get a little amount up and turned it unto a 4 inch water ball. Wow... that was so awesome. Pfff. She felt so pathetic right now, but she would work on what she had. She was a bit too tense and was focusing too much. She moved one hand to the side, waiting for the water to follow along, and it did as it seemed like a snack as it waved a bit and stretched away from it's round form. Then trying to cool the water so it would freeze, she pushed the water to the side, but it hit the wall in its liquid form. Crysta sighed angrily at her failure, but she wouldn't give up. This wasn't even the beginning. She continued on trying to freeze the water to make an attack like stabing the person with the ice shard she was trying to make.

Nioelle rubbed the back of her head, wandering into the training area. It seemed quiet, and she hoped that there wouldn't be anyone there. She was ready to try her ice attacks again, after abandoning them for practice on air attacks. Aero had become one of her favourites quickly.

As she wandered further into the centre, she realized someone else was there, a bucket of water near her. She watched silently as the girl made water balls and hurl them at a wall. Nioelle walked towards her slowly, focusing on the water. She lifted some out of the bucket, froze it, and hit it against the wall.

Nothing to it, see?

She tried not to sound smug as she walked closer to the girl.

I'm Nioelle.

Crysta, noticing there was someone else behind her as she heard the water move, she turned to see a girl. She had frozen the water and hit the wall like she had been trying to do for a while now. This irritated her a bit, but it wasn't her fault that Crysta doesn't know such thing, Nothing to it? UGh, easy for you to say... she thought to herself and then gave a half-hearted smile to the girl who introduced herself as Nioelle. This was not normal for her since she usually was sour with people she just met but she couldn't help herself. Maybe the girl could help her. She hoped she didn't consider this as being used, but as someone who wants to help another, and maybe they could be friends, "Crysta. Ho... how did you do that?" she asked with a soft voice making a curious face as she looked at the new girl

Nioelle smiled. She didn't mind that the girl, Crysta, was being a little mean, she tried to see the good in everyone, get to know them, and then judge them.

Well, it takes a lot of practice. It took me almost six months to do that.

She took more of the water and did the same thing, and frowned. She realized she was showing off, and quickly stuffed her hands into her pockets to prevent herself from doing it again.

I could teach you, if you'd like, but be ready for a lot of stress and time in the library.

Crysta wondered about Nioelle's sudden reaction. Why did she shove her hands into her pockets so suddenly after doing it again after she had asked to do it. She let it go as her mouth fell a little open at her offer. Crysta would have never expected for someone to offer such thing without knowing her. Crysta shook her head a bit as if to let it go and regain concentration, "Yes... yeah! That would be awesome!" she said with a smile and her eyes brighting up a bit from their usual narrowed and emotionless way. She would be willing to give anything to master her elements as soon as she could, and hopefully, before the next mission. "That's so nice... thank you. And I promise I won't wine and I'll work as hard as I can!" she told her, now seriously.

Nioelle smiled. She was glad to be helping someone out. After all, ice and water magic wasn't hers, and she couldn't keep it forever.

That's good, because it'll take a while to learn this. I hope you're ready for lots of time in the library. Reading, believe it or not, is essential to learning this.

Crysta has never been one to like reading books but if it meant she could start mastering one of her elements, she would do it. Maybe she could hold it off a little bit, "I guess it is essential for many things, so I guess it's something that'll be put up with..." she said, "...can you show me that movement once again? I think I'm kinda getting it..." she said with a thoughtful face and stared at the ground for a moment as she replayed, in her mind, how Nioelle had done it before. Not only her hand movement, but how her whole body followed along and tried to capture her face to see how much concentration she put in and other things, but it wuld be better to see it in action than just studying a memory.
