[Honey]

He could feel a faint aura coming from around the boy walking beside him, and after giving him a look he could tell that no rain was desired by the youngling. "Very good effort, Lonis, I can feel your wish emanating from here. One thing that is extremely difficult and reserved for only the strongest magicians is controlling the weather. The best one could really do is cast wards upon their cloaks and things, or create a protective bubble around yourself. Seems as though you have a bit of a bubble right now. Keep it up because I think we might get drizzling rain before too long."

he looked up as he was shaken from his thoughts. he could not tell if his master was being serious or making fun of him again though it did not matter as he discarded it in favor of finding the large pale hand and walking close to his master's side

[Honey]

His smile broke out again as the boy drew closer, and giving him a gentle tug just a nudge closer he dipped down to press a kiss to the top of the black-haired head. Silently, he spoke a small spell in his mind to keep them in a protective bubble, just the two of them.

by the time they stopped again the stars were out and other than a drizzle that hardly wetted the grass a few hours before there was nothing to keep them from sleeping under said stars. diligently he gathered wood and while his master flickered a fire into existence he laid out the mostly dry roll with the other on top of it to add extra protection against the chill that ended up not going away

[Honey]

When morning came he found himself awake in time to watch the sun rise with brilliant orange and pink hues spreading across the skyline. He was filled with a feeling of nostalgia, and as he cuddled closer to the boy to press a flutter of kisses against the neck in an effort to wake him up he felt all that much happier.

[littl3chocobo]

he did not question the lips and with his eyes still closed found a way to show his appreciation. when the touch was not rebuked however he felt a thrill and opening his eyes found the pleased ones of his master looking at him with a look in them he was sure he understood

[Honey]

Their eyes shared the look a moment longer before he could not help but to reach out and touch the sweet face and steal the lips. The kiss started sweet a slow, but still feeling the boy's hand lingering on his body he put more of himself into the kiss as he looked for another glimmer of the sweet eyes.

[littl3chocobo]

they started a bit later than they had the last two mornings but he was pleased for it and feeling both full and content was more than happy to pack away everything with haste and follow behind his wonderful master

[Honey]

The farther they traveled the drier the old road seemed to be, and in the distance he could begin to see the outline of the jagged mountains stretching up into the sky where they were lost to a fog hanging down over the plains. Keeping the boy close, he wrapped his arm around the sturdy shoulders as they continued on.

[littl3chocobo]

this time when they stopped for lunch it was in a drier field with only one old barren lemon tree. sitting down he stretched out his tired legs and waited for either food or a lesson

[Honey]

He thought the place to be perfect for a lesson seeing as how the lemons were not producing and would provide nothing to contribute to a meal. Digging his hands into the dirt, he produced a small well which he filled with enough water to create a small pool, the reflection showing a perfect reflection of the blue sky above. "Lonis, what have I created here?"

[littl3chocobo]

looking down he could see the edge of the leaves reflecting in the small welling of water, "a resonance pool to help calm the lines between things and help me hear"

[Honey]

"That is a good way to put it, but in addition to helping you hear it can help you to see as well. Not right now, but in future lessons you will understand what I mean by that." Taking the boy by his wrist he stuck a couple of Lonis' fingers into the water before letting go and sticking in a couple of his own. "Which do you feel more? The roots of the grass about our pool, or me?"

[littl3chocobo]

he felt neither, only the water and his own body. saying as much he watched his master's face to see if he was once more the dissapointment

[Honey]

Removing his own fingers with a flick of the wrist to rid of any lingering water droplets he gave a slow nod. "Do you feel anything now?"

[littl3chocobo]

shaking his head again he replied that he still only felt water. looking down he frowned
