How long had it been since a proper flesh and blood Aether student had graces these halls and witnessed the swirling energies of the spirits. Too long, Kano mused. From the looks of her, the girl had achieved her ability quite young and it had become second nature to her despite the lack of proper training. A natural talent on top of it! Kano noted the way her eyes traces the markings on his body and suppressed the urge to laugh. So young Eria saw the flow on them as he had planned and was fascinated, riveted by them, thought of the markings likely as tattoos. ""Umm, Master Kano.... I might be making a big assumption but are you the teacher for Aether Elementalist?" Kano watched the swirl above her head with interest, taking not of their formation and flow. Perhaps the girl was nervous. After his display, that was generally how most students felt. Obviously some exceptions over the years but there was a general mood they all shared. [color=0072bc]"Yes, miss Eria, I believe it was? You are very lucky to have such a unique and special gift."[/color] His eyes roamed her like a predator as he spoke, seeing the subtle waves of energy radiate from her. [color=0072bc]"I will take great care to see that you grow into a master of your craft. Until the others arrive, please have a seat on the steps behind me. The lessons will begin when all are gathered." [/color] [@Inertia] [color=39b54a]"Greetings Headmaster."[/color] he said, a tear forming at the corner of his eye because of his earlier yawn, [color=39b54a]"Uh- and other students who are going to be students, erm, under the tutelage... teaching? Of Headmaster Kano."[/color] [color=0072bc]"Greetings to you, as well, master Thames. It is a pleasure to have you here. Word of your control over our shared element of Water has already reached my ears. I look forward to seeing how far your potential can go." [/color] Kano reached out and grasped Lukes hand and firmly giving it a shake. On the surface it would look like such a simple gesture, the most basic of all human respects. The contact with the headmasters body was a different matter entirely. Control over water granted other benefits with training, such as the ability to simply sense bodies of water not in sight. To pull moisture from the air. Many varied skills. Simple contact with a body of water was enough for even a budding elementalist to recognize its properties. Touching the headmasters hand set off a simple command from Luke, the pull in any water around him. Kanos arm wavered for a moment, stuck between his solid form and the more base form trying to answer Lukes command. The handshake ended abrubtly and the call faded back to nothingness as Kano stared at his wrist. [color=0072bc]"With patience, and practice, you will learn how to control your gift in ways you might not have realized. For now, I am already impressed. That will come for later, though. For now, please have a seat on the stairs behind me with miss Eria."[/color] [@Jangel13] Kano found himself turning again at the crackling of electricity and found himself staring at the necklace worn by one Markus Dugan, an older boy from the looks of him, but still a first year in the eyes of the school. The obvious state of his element was easy to see and had Kano scratching the top of his head. Granted, there were not many people who had the element of lightning, but Kano could have sworn to himself that there had been a teacher assigned to it. A bit more thought into the matter confirmed that there were no other teachers with the affinity on staff or in the village, so it did in fact come down to him to take the boy. [color=0072bc]"Very well. I believe your name was Markus, yes? Happy to have you aboard. Though I must ask for the sake of my water attuned, that you keep your displays controlled in the near future. Accidents have been known to happen when lightning strikes."[/color] Kano motioned with his hand to where Eria and Luke now were. [color=0072bc]"As I mentioned to them, please have a seat. We will begin shortly."[/color] Kano looked around the room, waiting for two more students. One of them his adopted son, and the other a survivor of harsh conditions. Both of them shared a common craft that Kano hoped to mature in them both. The ability of Darkness. Waiting for them might be a bit of a hassle he mused, turning to look at the other three. [color=0072bc]"Students. While we wait for any last stragglers, how about you all introduce yourselves a little bit more. Perhaps share some hopes for your time here? It need not be about your academic life." [/color]
