A Flower in Bloom- ATTN: Nani

[Kevin]

Taylin nodded at the woman before her, accepting her answer. And out of some sense of wishing to share, she spoke openly.

"For all the darkness this world gives us, giving us sun, only to bring a cold storm; it is hard to see the good. It is harder to know the truth, and to go through it. There is pain there.

But there is also anger, a rage that burns like truth or justice. It isn't right, these wrongs, these Shadows. Everyone deserves to reach their potential. But the time for that, and the people to direct that rage at, I cannot yet or do not know fully.

Until then," she paused, resuming her weaves easily having never released the power. "being untouchable, being hard, or ice as you say, is my best form of self preservation. Mentally, and perhaps more. But it does not make me less of a person, just a harder one to get to know, more work to gain my trust. And most, well I think we both know; they just don't bother."

Droping her weaves, she'd create a warding around herself of Air, Water, and Spirit. Her skill with all three would be impressive, deft weavings and strong, thick strands. It would take more than an explosion to touch her, but she prepared a second weave just in case, after tying off the first.

"Add the fire, then mix it with Spirit to maintain your control. Then juggle the spheres with no one type touching its neighbor."

"Yes, most don't bother. They see the shield and don't spend the time to try and break through that shield. But that shield isn't as hard to break as some might think. And the ones that get through that shield, they're there for life." Angelique said as she thought about Garren, that man who had broken through her shield again after years of that shield being erected.

Angelique's hands spread out and the sphere's moved over top of both of them. Fire was something she grasped carefully, and wove it carefully with Spirit, placing a ball of fire next to the spirit balls in her rotation. It spun around slowly, her hands giving a small shake. Her breathing was slow and controlled, but it was difficult to keep a hold of those three balls of fire. Her face lost it's controlled features, and concentration went on the main facade. Her face shone with sweat, as this was extremely difficult fo rher, not something she was used to feeling. It was foreign, and one she didn't really care for. Perhaps as she grew, and learned it would be easier.

Her hands were shaking, and she glanced up at Taylin. "Juggle it how Accepted? I'm not sure I can control them that well with the Fire."

[Kevin]

Taylin wove an orb of fire, and a separate of Spirit. Fire was her weakest element, and so required her attention to hold it. She split the fire three ways, and then the same with the Spirit.

She paused here where the girl currently was in her own weaves. She knew the longer she waited, the more concentration it took the girl, so to pass the time, she thought the teach her a trick, until more control could be learned.

"Normally I would have you do these separately, but on the side of safety, lase your flame with Spirit, something you do have strong control over." Taylin melded the balls of Fire and Spirit, they now glowed like lantern light, as she let every element ride in a circle next to an element not of its making, aside from the shared Spirit.

"Until you can control the flames, temper them with an element you can control. Now, can you do what I have just showed you? Does it help?"

Angelique was mildly envious of the Accepted's ability to weave fire like that. It was something she was not good with, and likely never would be. And that was okay, she knew it. But it didn't stop her from wanting to be able to channel fire in that manner. She grasped more spirit and wove it in with the fire, feeling it stabilize. Her breath released slowly feeling her body relax marginally. Her eyes drifted shut and she breathed a sigh of relief. "It does help, greatly accepted." She said softly, as she moved her hands around, so that all the balls rotated around her hand with no single element next to itself.

That element of earth was calling to her, and she figured that it would be next, but she would wait and see. She wouldn't just jump ahead, so as to not offend her teacher. The woman seemed very nice, and she wanted nothing more then a friend. Garren was a fantastic man, one she was bonded to since they had never planned to ever return to the Tower, but he was not a female. He was not someone she could talk to about her female problems. And for now, neither was Tailynn. But Angelique was going to tear down that wall, that shield. She was going to blow it to bits and let herself in.

Taylin watched as the glowing orbs of fire would become steady, and with a sure hand, it began rotating for the novice. Taylin smiled, watching as the Power demanded to be used within her. She obliged ever so gratefully. She used Earth so little that it seemed a waste to be stronger in it than she was with the flames. However, it would be a benefit someday, or at least it was hoped to.

"Our last is of course, Earth." Talyin wove the flow easily, forming a sphere like the others. She allowed them to join in the rotations of the others. Smiling, she'd alter her rotations, two circles of only one elemental sphere in each. Weaving them together, she'd create an aura of colors falling down upon them both like wisps of light. She still glowed with the Power but no longer held it actively.

"The Power isn't a toy." Smiling, Taylin winked at the other woman. She breathed evenly, calmly. However it was hard for her not to smile, the euphoria of the Power teaming within her, like gold in her veins.

Angel nodded, and drawing in a small breath, she grasped Earth, and wove those small balls, allowing them to rotate slowly around. Within her the Power flowed softly, and it filled her with great joy. With such beauty flowing through her, she allowed its feeling to permeate her body, and fill her with warmth in a way that only her lover was able to do.

"Of Course Accepted." She said softly as she winked back. But with her euphoria, she lost her concentration, and the balls disappeared with a small puff. Her face held some surprise as she felt the Power leave her. It was so unnatural to have her concentration fall like this since she was younger. But she was rather skilled with Healing, at least she thought she was. Nothing of Garren's had ever been healed wrong. So have the basics fither out on her like that was quite a surprise. "Sorry Accepted, I see to have lost my concentration...something quite foreign to me let me assure you."

Taylin noticed the fatigue int he girl, and knew the longer she channeled the more chance of an accident. Instead of asking her to try again, she'd make some tea, boiling the water with Fire and adding in bags. There was no honey, but she liked the tartness of it. She offered the other girl some.

"I would say you've done very well for today. Find a friend among the Accepted, or me if I am not busy, and practice. You will have it in no time. You're a natural." Taylin smiled and bumped the other girls shoulder with her own. She rested against a desk, one foot crossed over the other. Her blonde hair was done up, and her Accepted's dress was pristine. Holding up her cup, he made a toast. "To becoming Aes Sedai."
