The Gym / Saturday, September 4 / Morning

Azula chose a quiet corner in the gym and began setting-up. She rolled out a mat meant for sitting and placed a tall candle holder and candle at the very center of the mat.

After she was done Azula sat down on the mat, crossed her arms and began to wait.

Azula reached for the fire, felt it. It felt like any fire she's ever held. Then she extinguished that too.

"Again."
furnaceface: (Fire - Angries!)

Jono glanced back and forth, between the candle and Azula, before he shook his head a little. Why not? He'd already lit it once, after all.

//Again,// he agreed, and he went through the process once more. Once more, the wick took to the flame, leaving the same, completely normal flicker in Jonothon's wake.

This time Azula immediately waved the flame away. "And again."
furnaceface: (Fire - Headtilty)

Jono's eyebrow lifted slightly, but once again, he did as he was told. There was no hesitation, this time around. He had a feel for his target, and it was simply a matter of reflex, lighting the wick.

//Third time's the charm, is it?//

He was faster this time. There was a slight quirk at the corner of her lips but she extinguished the flame again.

"Again."
furnaceface: (Fire - Squinty)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2010-09-05 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
And this time, she'd barely finished the word 'again' before Jono had the candle lit.

//Going to keep putting it out, gel?//

[identity profile] azuldragon.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
She didn't answer and just extinguished the flame. She raised her eyebrow expectantly.
furnaceface: (Fire - Headtilty)

And, once again. Jono was starting to understand what a Zippo lighter must feel like.

He only looked a little impatient as he reached out and re-kindled the flame. And from there, he reached forward with his hand, pinched the flame out between his bare fingers, and lit it again, just because he could.

And now he was going to sit there with one eyebrow raised. What now?

Azula smirked. "Keep practicing. Everyday until we meet again. It's simple and easy. Try to do it fifteen times and then after, I want you to try and feel the flame and if you still can't..."

She shrugged. "I've always found fire a good focus for meditation."
furnaceface: (Fire - Stalking Away)

Well, there was a word that didn't risk frightening Jono off.

//You'd like me to meditate?//

That, he could handle.

[identity profile] azuldragon.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. Being calm does help control fire too. So, meditate." Her smile softened, "Not bad start, is it, Jono?"
furnaceface: (Angryface)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2010-09-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
//I could probably think of several ways that this could have gone worse,// Jono allowed, reaching up and working on securing his wrappings around himself again. //So far as beginnings go, this one wasn't bad at all.//

He'd been nervous, granted. But nothing had blown up.

"No exploding buildings and no wild fires, I'm almost disappointed." She teased then stood. "Keep the candle and the stand."
furnaceface: (Told you so)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2010-09-05 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded, running his hands down over his chest to make certain that his bandages were on properly, and then reached forward and pinched out the candle with his bare fingers once again. He managed to burn his fingertips, but at least he only winced a little bit.

He was going to need a better way to put out a candle, at this rate.

//Thank you, luv.//

"Is that a normal term you use in your world?" Azula asked, finding the use of the word so casually used disturbing. 'Love' No one at home says it with that much frequency or at all.
furnaceface: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2010-09-05 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
//... In my particular corner of my world, yes,// Jono replied, blinking a little once he realized which word she was talking about.

It hadn't been too difficult. It was either the thanks, or the random term of endearment.

//I can say something else, if you prefer.//

[identity profile] azuldragon.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"No." Azula said, it was just a word after all. "It's alright. Just something to get used to."
furnaceface: (Told you so)

[personal profile] furnaceface 2010-09-05 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
//Well then, I'll try to at least keep it in mind,// Jonothon decided, shrugging a little and picking up the candle and its stand before pulling himself to his feet. //In th'meantime, fifteen times a day and some meditation. I think I can manage that.//
