Lainie let out a soft sigh of relief she hadn't known she was holding. Sulleykaar hadn't reacted in the way she'd worried he would, and he still wanted to help her. Even so, she had to resist the urge to shrink back from him. Something about his manner intimidated her, friendly as he was. She took small mouthfuls of her food, her gaze constantly flicking away from his glowing eyes.

[color=lemonchiffon]"O-Ok... Thanks,"[/color] she replied. She wondered what his teaching style would be like... how safe would it be? Safer than starting fires whenever she had a nightmare, she decided. [color=lemonchiffon]"I don't really have anything else planned today."[/color]

She listened to his question. [color=lemonchiffon]"Well... Elemental witches aren't exactly common,"[/color] she explained. [color=lemonchiffon]"Our type of magic isn't well understood. You see, I'm from a coven of healers... I'd thought I'd be like them. When my magic first manifested, they didn't really know how to train me. So... here I am."[/color] She finished with an awkward smile. One of her worst memories surfaced, that of the time she'd nearly burned the house down. Nobody had been badly hurt, but it had been close... She put her spoon down and folded her arms, unconsciously running her fingers across the scarred patches of skin. She hoped this 'unorthodox' teaching style would be what she needed.
