"!!!" Elliot is pounced upon, but he had a feeling that she
would do so. His original intention was to flip her off of him
when they hit the ground, but it never happened. Instead, Elliot
ended up blinking into Lya's eyes as she caught him before he
hit the ground in a pose that made it seemed like they were
dancing... and Elliot was the girl!
"Err... um... I," Elliot could only mumble gibberish for a
second due to being unprepared for being so close to her so soon
after the whole kitten ordeal before he shut up entirely. Just
as it seemed like Elliot had frozen up again and was at Lya's
mercy, he grabbed her arm with his right hand and ducked sliding
underneath it. He the grabbed it with his left hand too and
quickly darted behind her pinning her arm behind her lower back
as he blushed again. "...Sorry, yeah, that's what I meant...
but... exactly how much are you holding back?" He asked while
frowning at the back of her head. He knew she was holding back a
lot, but she seemed to be holding back a bit TOO much. He felt
that if this kept up, it'd be fun, but he wouldn't learn
anything.

She let him catch her arm, and pin her this way. Had she been
willing to damage him, or kill him, that could have been a very
bad move. "Pup, I'm not the one that's going to teach you these
uber awesome combat skills. I'm teaching you other lessons.
Lessons that have nothing to do with damaging your opponent, and
everything to do with reading them, and not underestimating
them." She made her point as she broke the lock, likely causing
her own elbow to snap if it was locked in correctly.
She then very neatly turned their places around, his arm pulled
to the point of discomfort, and her own hand at his throat.
Those deadly claws sat against his skin, but there is no
pressure on them. They're there to illustrate a point. Her bones
had mended easily, scarily easy. That forest scent had settled
over him from the time he stepped close to her. She spoke now,
in his ear.
"One lesson you learn. I don't typically spar anymore. I don't
fight unless I plan to kill. No Moons don't do squaring off. We
do assassination. Finding every single weakness, every single
flaw, and exploiting it. Keeping our opponent off balance. Doing
the unexpected. I've learned how to kill what I want dead. I'm
not a vicitim anymore. So, unless ya wanna learn how to kill,
pup, I'm not the one you want training you to fight. Protection?
Gregor is the one to talk to. Defense, again, Gregor. Murder?
That's me." She said softly. She let up on him.
"Now, the shit I can teach you, that's the stuff Gregor and Jess
don't know jack on. Spirits, information finding, solving
riddles and puzzles? That's my stuff. You want to know that,
I'll be glad to teach. But I don't know that that is the sorta
thing you're lookin' for. Strength isn't just physical. And
weakness doesn't only happen in the body." She entirely stepped
back from him, kissing him on the forehead lightly.

Elliot's eyes widened and he grunted as he got caught in the
reversal, but it ONLY happened because he made 1 fatal mistake;
he underestimated her.
He was surprised when Lya sacrificed her arm to escape the hold
even though she could have overpowered him and he knew it. The
1-2 combo of surprise and worry over Lya's counter made him
hesitate for a moment. That moment was then all the No Moon
needed to quickly lock in the reversal and get the claws to
Elliot's neck. By the time Elliot realized his mistake, Lya was
already beginning to speak to him.
Elliot grit his teeth grunting in discomfort. Internally, he
would've started kicking the crap out of himself as he wallowed
in regret, but he realized that Lya was, again, trying to teach
him something, so he kept quiet, set aside all thoughts of
possible counter attacks, and simply listened to her speak. As
Lya explained her fighting style, Elliot slowly swallowed as he
realized what he'd gotten himself into. Thinking back, she
could've killed him at least 3 times over since the fight had
started! And realizing that was a scary thought.When Lya had let
him go and kissed his forehead, he was so lost in his thoughts
that he only noticed her do it on a subconscious level as his
hand automatically moved up to his forehead as he blushed, but
he didn't bother to hide it this time cuz he was too busy
thinking to notice that he did.
"...Spirits...," Elliot said after a long silence, " ...you
mentioned them before... what are they?" Elliot looked at Lya
with eyes that showed that he really wanted to learn. Not just
from her, but from ALL of them. He felt that he could learn
something from all of them, though this was about as close as
he'd get to admitting it. And he felt that these "spirits" that
Lya kept mentioning were particularly important. He didn't know
why he felt that way, it was just something deep inside of him
that told him so...

She watched him catalogue the scary things, the interesting
things and the puzzling things. At least the kid was quick.
Something she had to thank the Goddess for. "The spirits are
literally the force that exists in everything. Tree, the wind,
water, you or I, there's a spirit within us. It's ki, chi,
energy, spark, whatever you'd like to call it. You've got two
around you right now, helping you. Your water spirit, that thing
you heard moan earlier inside you? It's helping you heal faster.
The wind spirit? Helps you understand things you normally might
not. Gives you insight. Carries messages. How else do you
understand me in any of my forms?" She posed him the question,
stretching out flat on her back and looking up at the sky.
Her gold eyes looked at him, watching him ashe absorbed the
things she'd just told him. And determined that she'd make sure
that he learned everything she knew.

Elliot blinked as he listened to her explanation. What she said
made sense in a way, but he couldn't quite wrap his mind around
it. How could he have spirits inside of hi--
Elliot blinks again. "Wait... my dreams...," he thinks as he
rubs his chin. "No way... it can't be... Ventus! Aqua!" ((Lol!
xD))
As Elliot calls out their names, the teen's aura appears and
glows a light blue. The glow slowly intensifies for a moment
before it suddenly shatters and in it's wake, appear 2 small,
glowing spirits floating in front of Elliot. One of whom, which
appeared to be made of water and bubbles, held her arm and
appeared hurt. Meanwhile, the other one, which was made of wind,
kinda floated lazily on it's back as though in a hammock. He
looked at the water spirit (Aqua), glanced over at Elliot, and
then looked away from them both pouting as though angry with
Elliot for Aqua's condition. Meanwhile, Elliot blinked at the
spirits with blue eyes now stunned. "Wait, you guys were
REAL!?!?!?"

Aqua paled out in color, seeming to almost give the spirit
version of a sniff. "I try not to curse. But...fucking duh." She
said, the bubbles popping around her, more appearing. Ventus
appeared to breeze over to the water, nudging her slightly.
"Meh." She said. She looked back at Elliot. "Really?" The only
thing the spirit could say.
Ely, grinned slightly, watched the interactions of the spirit
and the boy. "Kiddo, that's pretty much how they appear, until
people fill you in. Now? You're gonna spot 'em everywhere. And
hear, just like you are now." She looked at the spirits, bowing
slightly in a respectful greeting. There's a very ritualistic
feel to Ely's behavior, the spirits returning the greeting. "No
matter what, have respect for them. They are the thing that
keeps you most connected to our people, and to the Great
Mother."
((Lulz to both of these things, both thefail and the names. <3
))

Elliot blinked taken aback by the spirits. Normally, he might've
snapped back at them, but Lya's words and mannerisms about and
towards the spirits told him that that would be a very, VERY,
bad idea. Instead, the teen tried to mimic Lya's bow. Since he
wasn't used to being so humble, his bow came out awkward as he
bowed to the spirits first, then to Lya.
"I see. I'll keep that in mind Lya-chan. And it's good to see
you ladies!" He turned to the spirits grinning as though they
were already close friends, but then his smile faded a bit as he
took note of Aqua's condition. "Oh, sorry Aqua. I should've been
more careful. I allowed you to be hurt..." He looked away
genuinely feeling guilty for what had happened to Aqua.

Both spirits bowed in return. Ventus waved slightly, still
relaxed entirely. It was her day off, apparently. Aqua gave a
movement, almost as if she shook her head. "Thus, my crabbiness.
It hurts a bit. Don't do that, anymore. Next time, just let me
know you need to heal up faster, and I'll try. Don't train with
broken ribs again." She shook her head again. She very obviously
hates having a gimp wing.
As another means of lesson teaching, Ely stepped forward. "Watch
close, pup. You'll learn this as you get stronger and older."
One of her nails became a claw, looking like a sharpened razor
for a moment. She took the claw over her palm, allowing the
blood to well and puddle. She offered it to Aqua, the spirit
coming forward and the blood disappearing.
"You can learn to offer a bit of yourself, sacrifice a part of
your strength, to heal a spirit. There's a simpler way to offer
this as well in easy interactions. But that's a payment or a
reward. This is simple goodwill." She told him quietly. He
looked on as Aqua's arm healed up perfectly.

Elliot smiles at Aqua. She really was the same as in his dreams,
"I'll try Aqua. I need to get strong fast though, so I can't
guarantee that I won't do something stupid, sorry..." He
scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously knowing
that she wouldn't like that reply, but it was the truth; he
always pushed himself when there was something that he needed to
do.
When Lya stepped forward extending her claw, Elliot tensed up on
reflex as he thought she might attack him. Again, he was
surprised as she used it to cut herself and give the blood to
the water spirit. Elliot watched Lya do this and remembered
something else from his dreams. As he remembered it, he began
looking around as though he expected someone else to appear.
