The moment she saw Envix wings twitch to spread out, she was quick to say, “Menace!” before she flinches backwards as one of her claws now longer shaped seemed to get a bit too close for comfort to her, she falls down on her butt. “Ouch..” She mutters, rubbing her bottom as she landed on a large root of the tree when it happened. That Envix suddenly had her head way closer than normal in her vicinity made her yelp for a second. Envix backed off at that point, but she just gave to her the appearance of worry while she did that. ‘I’m alright, just a bruise. Let’s continue?’ Envix looked wary at that, but when after a moment she didn’t hear Envix. It probably meant she wasn’t too worried. After a little bit, Envix relaxed her body to appear like she isn’t planning anything. “Menace!” She calls out when the tendrils at her wings became the first warning, and then let her whole body flare out in the way it is supposed to.

She flinched even though she knew it was going to happen, and as she had decided to stay sitting on the ground, she didn’t fall this time. ‘Good job Envix! That was perfect!’ She says happily, this one went really well, the speed in which she did it made it all the better. Its only because she knows Envix well enough that she could just about predict when it is about to happen, she is sure that those tells are for anyone else unpredictable unless they actually know Envix just as well. When Envix started to go in a relaxed position again, she made herself comfortable as well, watching for the right signs once more. “Menace!” She calls out the moment she noticed Envix will start again. This time bracing herself for it so she wouldn’t flinch. She kept a tense position until Envix was done, glad that her companion chose to be at just a slight bit more distance.

When Envix was done and relaxed herself, she chose to take the initiative this time, calling out in determination. “Menace!” Envix blinks in surprise, staring at her with slight uncertainty, but hesitatingly she flared her body again, this time with less ferocity, but still giving a good impression of what the move is about. ‘Excellent Envix! Now with a little less hesitance, you can do it!’ She grins, giving a thumbs up to her. The brightening and dimming of her eyes shows she is more or less doing her version of blinking in surprise. “Menace!” She calls out, bringing Envix out of her stupor and with a few seconds of hesitance, she flares her body in a way anyone not expecting it would flinch away from it, she just bit her lip lightly. Determined to not do so with her, it would only get in the way.

Smiling, she nods at Envix. ‘That went really well Envix!’ She says with admiration, as this time there was just a bit more ferocity put back into it. ‘Thank you..’ She hears Envix say, and when Envix for some reason moves closer to her, it brought up an idea to her. Just when she seems close enough, she lunged at Envix suddenly. Surprised, Envix flares her wings and flutters up quickly, dodging the swiping motion she made with her hand. Grinning at Envix she admires how quickly Envix was able to get in the air to dodge her hand, she wasn’t sure if Envix felt the intent that she wanted for just a moment to attack her, but it was the reaction of Envix that made her really happy. Perhaps if at some point she tries once more when Envix doesn’t expect it, and reacts just like now. She can put her being able to sense danger in one of the categories she can do instinctively.

‘Good job Envix! You sensed my intention before harm could have befallen you!’ At those words Envix started to flutter to the ground again, landing lightly, her form standing up straight instead of staying crouched and wary. She is probably remembering what she meant with it, as they had been working quite a lot with that since coming to the park, and she really is proud on all that she has accomplished so far. Still, they have to continue further now with training, and not get distracted. “Envix?” She calls out, getting her attention. “Menace!” This time, Envix did it faster than before. She flares her body out, the mouth snapping from side to side to represent the teeth in the worst way possible for a foe to look at and become warry of. ‘Awesome, that went well.’ She commented, admiring the scary visage Envix is presenting to her. Yes this will work out very well for them.

Smiling as Envix started to relax and stare at her, she can tell Envix is waiting for her to say the word again instead of doing her own thing, nor did she seem to have held a little bit of a grudge when she had lunged at her to see if she still remembers what they had been training. “Menace!” She calls out, grinning when the moment she said it, Envix reacted and flares her body, snapping sharp teeth in her direction. She kept her body as nonresponsive as possible with that when Envix did it, knowing she isn’t going to attack her and having seen it often enough now. Grinning at the sight of her relaxing once more after a few moments of doing her performance, and laying her wings behind her back, she calls out again. “Menace!” Envix flares her wings, the tendrils spreading outwards on her wings as she swipes with her claws, and snaps with her jaws at the air. That the tendrils gave the appearance of her being bigger in that moment than that she would normally be is only more of advantage for them.

Clapping her hands together, she calls out in her mind. ‘Great job Envix! You’re doing excellent, I think we are progressing with this quite well.’ She couldn’t help but comment in delight, this one went really well and she feels like it is almost time to start with the next one now. When Envix looks to be relaxing again, even raising her head in pride at her words, she smiles. “Menace!” She calls out, just this one last time. If Envix looks like she was grinning at those words, she couldn’t say it for certain, but the happy mood persists, even while she performed. Wings flaring, teeth snapping and once or twice she could almost swear it turns into a grimace, while her clawed hands swipe the air. She kept it up for a few moments, but stopped soon after. ‘Alright, excellent Envix! I think we can move on now, what do you say about that?’ She says in a cheerful tone, while Envix literally perks up at the mention of learning something new.

‘I would like that yes.’ She says, and with how haunting her voice usually sounds, it seems downright cheery in the tone she has it right now. Nodding in acknowledgement with that, she looks at the best spots to start, this one would require plant life of some sort. But the grass here is rather short, it might make it more difficult to see how successful she will be in it. ‘Great, let me just grab my bag and we’ll move to a spot with taller grass.’ Saar probably ate a lot within this area with his grazing from yesterday, so moving on to a better spot will probably be better for the area here to grow at least somewhat undisturbed again. Seeing as Envix moves away from her now, fluttering up in the air, she started walking in the general direction of where she last saw her backpack. ‘Its here!’ She hears Envix say, and she looks around to where that ‘here’ might be, as hearing it mentally does not mean you’d actually know in which direction its coming from. Unlike with hearing it actually being said out loud.

Seeing Envix fluttering up in the air after a few moments, she looked down at the closest tree she is at, and there it is. The blue backpack, with a grin she walks towards Envix and the bag. ‘Thanks Envix!’ She says, grabbing the bag when she is within reach, she opens the largest zipper and takes of her gloves and leather bracers, dropping it in the bag, and closing the zipper when she is done. Grabbing the straps of the backpack, she starts moving towards the path. ‘Lets move towards a better spot, we need something with taller grass or green bushes.’ She mutters inside her mind towards Envix, she only kept fluttering long enough to look around before landing. ‘I might have seen something this way.’ She hears her say, Envix didn’t wait long for her to react, instead she glides on the ground at a fast pace. Her shadow form moving in way that can’t be explained adequately on how she does that. Following after her, she still looks around at the vegetation that they are passing through, and while it looked green enough, most of it didn’t feel tall enough to be able to show the effects of the move she wants to teach Envix. Except, five meters of walking after that thought she did come across a green bush with small patches of tall grass. Envix ignored the bush, gliding past it for something much farther away while she stared at it. ‘Envix wait.’ She says in her mind as she walks closer to the bush.

When she comes close enough to the bush she knelt down, and with her hand carefully she rubs her fingers against one of the leaves, it definitely felt like it is full of life, this one would be perfect. Plucking the leaf from the bush, she held it in her hand and looked up, right at Envix’s curious stare for what she is doing. Smiling she shows the leaf. ‘Alright Envix, this is what we are going to do. See this leaf?’ She shows her the leaf by brining it closer, Envix’s eyes dim before glowing as a way to interpret it as a slow blink of confusion, something she might have copied from her. ‘Yes, I see it.’ She answers in a curious tone. Nodding at that she moves a little bit farther away from the bush, dropping her backpack, she then starts tearing out a section of the grass close to the bag in order to make way for sand in a rough patch of twelve inches to lay the leaf in the middle of it then backs off from that patch. It might have taken only five minutes in total while Envix kept staring at her and what she is doing, she then proceeded to sit in a cross-legged position as she didn’t feel up to bending her neck or back the whole time as she stares at this part of the training, there would be no point in doing that. ‘Alright this should do it. This might be a bit difficult to figure out, but I want you to sap the life out of that leaf. I figure it will be easier to begin with something that is already cut of from the source that gives it life, and work our way up in it.’ She explains as Envix tilted her head in the direction of the leaf, confusion clearly present as she brings her clawed hand to the leaf, stopping about a inch away from it as the eyes narrow.

Biting her lip lightly she watches as Envix kept her hand on the leaf, but there didn’t seem to be anything unusual happening to it. ‘Did you figure it out by any chance Envix?[/I’ She says softly in her mind, wondering how she is doing. Envix slowly retreated her clawed hand, and looking at the leaf, nothing seems to have changed yet, no dry cracking or discoloration. ‘No, not yet.’ She could hear the frustration in her voice at the failure, her eyes narrowed slightly into glowing slits as she glares at the leaf. Humming at that she carefully picks up the leaf, looking at it from all sides, and rubbing softly at its texture. She didn’t see or feel any change in it yet either. ‘Hmm, what if energy sapping is part soul and shadow related?’ She turns her head towards Envix, wanting to hear her opinion on it. Envix had her head tilted slightly to the side as she looks thoughtful at the leaf, then the grass under her. ‘It might, but I never tried this before.’ Envix says truthfully, and she nods at that. She would have known if some of her plants became suspiciously dead in a rather short time of getting it.

Placing the leaf back in the circle she makes a hand gesture to Envix to continue. ‘Then try it again, and this time, hmm.. Perhaps try thinking you really, really want the energy of the leaf, and making it part of yourself, as if it becomes part of your own body?’ She says in her mind thoughtfully, slowly starting to think of what might work to let her learn it easily. Envix tilts her head to the side slightly, her wings almost looking fluffed up in indignation. ‘Its not that easy to just ‘think’ you want something like that done.’ A annoyed sigh reverberates in her mind as she sees Envix stare at the leaf, her clawed hand slowly reaching out to touch it again. ‘But, I will try.’ She watches as her eyes narrow into slits, her form seems to almost shudder and twitch as Envix concentrates on the leaf. When after a few minutes nothing seems to have happened, she started to let her gaze wander while Envix works, the sound of birds soothing while the yelling of other trainers close by she could have done without. As she didn’t want Envix to lose her concentration with figuring out how this is going to work. Though, checking Envix progress didn’t made it seem like there was any made, at least for now. After her gaze wandered again, only to be brought back towards Envix when she hears a trainer reprimands an unruly companion. She decides to just keep focusing on her own companion, and hope she will be able to somehow make progress with this at some point. Slowly Envix raised her hand after a half hour, shadows a lighter and more see-through quantity move in a pattern similar like breathing warm air out on a cold day from the leaf towards Envix, and almost playfully twirls around her claws before sinking into her shadows. She wasn’t certain if this type of effect is supposed to happen, but Envix seems almost satisfied when the last bits of shadows get absorbed within her. Looking at the leaf, her eyebrows raised in a subconscious manner as she noticed only a brown and cracked leaf is left.

Carefully she reaches out towards the leaf, scooping it off the ground, the leaf cracked further into pieces with her handling, breaking parts of it slowly off. Looking at the now very dead leaf, she can certainly say Envix earned her pride in succeeding with it. There doesn’t seem to be a hint of green left on it! ‘Awesome Envix, I think this might be what they called Darkness Drain, and the move I was hoping to teach you.’ She looks up sheepishly at Envix as she sees her frown. ‘Well, for me there wasn’t much teaching the how to involved with this. You did all the hard work.’ She compliments Envix , grinning broadly as for some reason Envix ducks, sinking slightly in the ground while her wings fluff up. ‘Thank you.’ She hears in a soft haunting tone. Smiling softly she wipes her hands clean from the remains of the cracked leaf, nodding at Envix as she slowly stands up to walk towards the bush and plucks three leaves off the bush this time. Walking back to Envix and their training spot, she plops one leaf back in the middle. ‘Alright, since you succeeded with the first one. Let’s try for another go yes? And faster then before?’ Tilting her head to the side, Envix stares at her for a moment, then looks back at the leaf. ‘I don’t know how fast I will be with this, but I do plan on trying.’ She hears her comment idle, her clawed hand already reaching out towards the leaf. “Darkness Drain.” She intones while watching Envix frown at the leaf, not all too bothered with her suddenly speaking out loud.

She watches more patiently this time as Envix focusses to make the leaf lose all its vitality, it didn’t happen all that quickly as she had hoped it would, it still took about half as much time as last time. She wasn’t too certain with this, but it almost looked like the shadows got absorbed faster when she saw the effect happen when Envix slowly retreated with her clawed hand. “Darkness Drain!” She calls out quickly before they both might forgot that they are trying to get this done to an instinctive reaction. ‘Good job Envix, the leaf looks as dry and cracked like the last one.’ She praises, looking proudly at her as she had picked up the dead leaf and showed it to Envix after her own inspection, quickly replacing it with the second leaf. Envix rolled her shoulders for a moment, but she didn’t say anything with it. Her clawed hand already reaching out to touch the object in the center of the dirt patch, focusing only on the leaf. “Darkness Drain.” She says while focusing on Envix hand specifically, it almost looked like she is favoring her left arm since this is the third time she is reaching out with it.

“Darkness Drain!” She says quickly after, she thinks it might roughly be eight minutes of focusing on doing the move, the shadows definitely get absorbed faster within her, she can tell the difference now quite quickly. ‘Good job Envix!’ She comments as this leaf for some reason looks even more dried up and death than the two before it, she shudders at the thought of what it might look like on a actual corpse should she use it till on someone till they literally died from the move. ‘Its getting easier.’ She heard Envix say as she replaced the leaf with the last one in her possession still being fresh. ‘Yeah, I noticed that too. The time to accomplish it is shortening. I think if we are able to get it down to five seconds, and at a distance from the target. We’ve accomplished then what we set out to do for today, and as promised before coming here, I’ll try to read two chapters of the book you’ve chosen yesterday to read tonight instead of one chapter.’ She smiles happily at her Lurker companion, quite glad she is so easy to please with reading books to her, and that it is such a good motivation for her. That she learned how to fly for a short period when before she didn’t know how to do it exactly, and had to watch on the sidelines how parts of herself once a day separated and do it for short periods before disappearing entirely, may also have something to do with her now wanting to know more of what she’d be capable of. ‘I’d like that.’ She heard her say wishfully.
