Valentin clear his throat faintly.

She looked over at him. "Yes?"

"Nothing. Only, how are you controlling it?"

"I'm… not quite sure." She admitted. "I just tried focusing on just my hands, and it seems to be working."

"Mm." He glanced at Lord Kantner for a moment. "I have…done mine own research on this? And from what I have read, it may be easier to focus on the…the power itself, rather than where you are channeling it? I do not know, though." He frowned faintly, uncertain.

Alcesta nodded slightly, closing her eyes as she tried to focus more on the fire- the flickering and the warmth- feeling her hands catch again.

He was quiet, glancing again at Lord Kantner, who was frowning faintly as he studied the young guard.

Alcesta smiled when she felt her hands catch, before trying to focus on moving it a little in front of her.

He was quiet, shifting on his feet.

She opened her eyes, watching a few flames dance a few feet in front of her, making her break into a grin.

He smiled faintly at the sight, quiet.

She made her hands go out, watching the flames in front of her fizzle out as well.

Lord Kantner cleared his throat. "You may continue to practice out here. I am going back to the house. Cosmo will take you back when you're done for today." He said, and made his way back towards the coach.

Alcesta looked up, nodding slightly.

Once Lord Kantner was gone, Valentin relaxed a little bit, but didn't speak.

Alcesta watched him leave, relaxing a little.

Valentin looked over at Alcesta, still quiet.

Alcesta made her hands catch again, trying to focus on making the fire move farther from her.

Valentin kept watching, the water bucket ready if it was needed.

Alcesta watched the flames almost fly from her, trying to focus on not letting them catch anything else on fire.

He stepped forward, watching.

She bit her lip, trying to bring it back to her.

He was quiet, watching her.

(should we timeskip to the end of the practice? or?)
