"Meh, I wasn't looking" earnestly states Aneld as he offers his hand to help her down. "It's going to take a lot more concentration, but it's probably best you practise on fruit rather than hostiles. Try to feel the accendo flow through you, it'll come and go but once you get the feel for it, you can try to focus it."
"Then stand clear- those spikes look sharp, and I'd hate to mar your good looks by accidentally dropping one on your head." Shael teases.
She glances upwards at the fruit above and touches the accendo as she normally does, feeling it vaguely wispy and ephemeral here, totally unlike home. Her hands clench involuntarily, as if grabbing what IS there, and she pushes, attempting a small gust directly where stem meets branch- rather like straight winds from a storm, on a geometric plane parallel to the branch itself, exerting force in such a way as to sever, not throw halfway across the plains.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

The otama gently swayed, knocking into each other and making a hollow clicking. None of them fell, but they looked like they were ready to fall.
Aneld stepped behind Shael, putting his arms around her waist and whispering encouragement into her ear, "close your eyes and just feel it for a little while. It takes some getting used to, but I know how much you like to find things out."
She smiles and thinks...How well I will be able to concentrate with him this close is another matter, however, I refuse to shame myself with distraction!
Shael attempts what he has suggested, attempting to feel it as thoroughly as she feels Aneld behind her.

It was widely known that accendo responds to emotion and with Aneld's warm touch, the more Shael focused on it, the more she grew accustomed to the predictable flow of the invisible (for her) force. It moved through her like a tide, ebbing and flowing every few moments.
As Shael feels the familiar flow, she smiles, and directs it to do as she wills it, using Aneld's warm feeling to guide her, to knock the otama from the tree safely to the ground with a gentle gust.
Have I ever been this happy? No, can't say that I have...nothing could ruin this.

The cluster of otama plunged to the ground with surprising velocity as Aneld quickly weaved a mini whirlwind above the two of them to slow the fall. "Well done!" he exclaimed as he gave her a kiss, slightly caught up in the moment, "try not to let them land on your head though, next time."
"I was busy trying to avoid yours...thanks. Now, how do we...um, peel, open, or otherwise make these edible? I don't think that the spiky part's good for you...." Using her cloak as a hand guard, she plucks them from the air cushion and examines the fruit. Of course, he mind is elsewhere partially, and a spine jabs itself into her thumb.
"Ow!" She drops it on the ground, shaking her hand in the air.

"Nature is rarely easy" claimed Aneld as he used a gust of wind to hurl a otama into a nearby tree. It popped open, revealing a pale yellow flesh, glistening with sugary liquid. Aneld walked over to it, picking it up carefully and presenting it to Shael, "enjoy."
Shael, still feeling the sting of the otama, takes it and eats a small piece.
"This is pretty good. And you break them open by hurling them into something hard? It seems like a great way to blow off steam! You have some, too, while I wash up in that water back there. I smell of road, and it will be cooler if I wet my hair."
After finishing her portion, rather quickly, as she is fairly hungry, Shael walks over to the waters and after looking to see if anyone else is nearby, shucks her robe and stands in a thin shift, feeling the breeze a little. She shrugs and, assuming it's deep enough, climbs in, only removing it after she's under the water enough to cover herself.

Aneld smiled at her obvious joy to be in nature. He stumbled toward her with his eyes covered as she waded in the water, "you couldn't have picked a colder place to bathe. There's some falls not far from here, I think. Care to explore with me?"
"Y...yes. It's...not warm here. I think...fire adepts..p-probably have it easier for warm water."
Her lips are starting to turn bluish and she's not wearing a thing.
"Cloak?" she asks plaintively. "And it doesn't matter if you see what's on the outside- you've seen my mind, which is more intimate than a physical form. Just- just, I am freezing. Yes. I am."

Hurriedly, Aneld grabs her cloak and helps her out of the water, slipping it onto her as he does so. He pulled Shael closer to him, trying to warm her up, not really caring about the wetness . "Nice one, Shael. Let's look for those falls, alright?"

Shael was baffled by Aneld as they walked along the water and he stared into the seemingly mundane ravine. It took a moment to realize that he was watching the behaviour of the accendo... nature's way of directing light adepts.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the falls. The water toppled over the cliff above forming a foamy whirlpool at its base. A thin veil of water was formed, a tranquil beauty that only hundreds of years of Disegreth's power could have made.
"And now I show you that we are all children inside and tell you this: The last one in is a rotten egg." Shael laughs musically and drops the cloak, running towards the falls.

Aneld was apprehensive, running to the edge of the falls but choosing not to shed his robe. "I suppose I'll let you win this time" he jests, trying to hide his discomfort at the thought of taking off his clothing.

He couldn't explain to her why. It felt wrong to have to hide something from her, but this is one thing she could never understand. One day, she would know but that day would not be today, he decided, for he couldn't even stand to think of losing her already. With a nervous chuckle, he spoke a half truth, "Oh nothing, I'm just not very attractive without my scholarly robe. Apparently nudity isn't very flattering for someone who spends all their time inside reading. I wouldn't want you to be scared off already!"
"If you don't want to, that's okay, but I don't mind...you look..wonderful to me, and even if you're not all muscled and such, that's okay... I like the way you are."
She ducks her head under and gives herself a good scalp scrub; without soap, only so much you can do, but even that helps.

The falls poured down on Shael, bathing her in glorious fashion. It was possibly the most refreshing experience that she'd had in a very long time as she closed her eyes and let the water pour over her body. When she opened them, Aneld had turned and was walking away.
For a very brief moment, Shael wonders if she has offended him in some way. The thought makes her feel a bit sick inside, but she quickly tries to make it leave her mind as she wrings the water from her hair.
She exits the water and picks up the cloak, walking towards him uncertainly.

"Yeah, I'm good. I just figured I'd go grab some otama so that you'd have another snackafter you were finished in the falls. Don't worry about me" he said with a reassuring smile, "just enjoy yourself!"
