Dia bit her lip, her mind going through dozens of thoughts.

[I] No. Stop. Like the Headmaster said. Control it. Help...[/I]

Closing her eyes, Dia focused on her breathing. Wasn't that supposed to help calm you down? She felt like she'd read that somewhere before...

She had to admit it hurt to be pushed away. But she couldn't blame Zeke for it. She was cold to be around. And she had just trapped him in ice, even if the Headmaster had freed Zeke.

She could fix this. She just needed to concentrate. Could she let her fears and worries drift away, just for a little bit? Or at least lessen them enough?

She didn't feel like she had a choice.

She let out a deep breath, having realized she'd started holding her breath.

Dia felt something from her core. A stirring, like a great snake connecting her to...

The water.

For the first time since her powers had awakened, Dia felt a sliver of control. For the first time in what felt like forever, there wasn't a chill around her.

She opened her eyes, slowly moving closer to Zeke. She doubted she could replicate what the Kano had done for her, removing the water, so she settled for the next best option: her own body heat.

Carefully, slowly, Dia snuggled (she couldn't think what else to call it) up to Zeke.

And slowly the water left on him started moving, unbeknownst to her, and turning into little floating ice crystals around them.

"I'm sorry, Zeke. Please don't hate me," she muttered.
