Lainie didn't take offence at the dragon person's comment. He was speaking the truth - she could hardly call herself adept. The whiff of smoke that still trailed through the air was proof of that. [color=lemonchiffon]"Uh..."[/color] Something about his attitude made her hesitate. As much as she admired confident and charismatic people, they could be a little intimidating. She chewed at her lip and looked down, not sure whether to accept his offer.

As he turned around and headed back down the hallway, she made up her mind. He was right about the nature of fire magic. She needed somebody to teach her control, and to better understand her power - not only was elemental magic unpredictable, it was one of the lesser-known types. Not even her coven had been able to help her all that much. Besides, this person seemed friendly enough. [color=lemonchiffon]"You'd... be ok doing that? Um, that'd be great,"[/color] she said softly, taking a few steps in his direction. [color=lemonchiffon]"Thanks."[/color] She gave a slight, uneasy smile. [color=lemonchiffon]"Uh, I'm Elaine. Everyone calls me Lainie though."[/color]
