Helena caught Celcilia's surprise and smirked a bit.  It would be rude to laugh, so she ignored the initial reaction for a moment.  "Wow, fire and water," Helena muttered and followed up with, "Can you combine your powers?  Like, she makes fire, you make water, and then there's just a bunch of steam?"  It sounded like something from comics, but then again weren't they straight from the pages of fantasy and sci-fi?  When she saw Celcilia's contemplative state, Helena chuckled aloud, "Don't worry, tiger hand is weird at first," she reformed it back into her own hand, "but you'll get used to it."
