[u]Matthew[/u]

Matthew took a step back, watching carefully what Adam said. He had spoken about teaching him the basics in manipulating air. As the targets rose out of the ground and began spinning, instead of focusing on the targets, Matthew focused on Adam's hand. The flick of the wrist, the position of his fingers, the contraction and relaxation of his muscles. He took into detail everything he could. When he was asked to try, he followed Adam's unknowing example. He took a step back, and took a deep breath, before moving his hand. His eyes shifted from their normal color to gold for a moment, showing he had shifted his power to what he was practicing, using the air around him as a source, and took a breath.

He contracted the same muscles Adam had, approximately, and relaxed others, holding breath, he directed his hand in a direction just above the targets, before spinning underneath his arm arm releasing his pent up breath, while forcing his opposite arm forward. At that moment, two of the three targets immediately stopped spinng, and the third on slowed to a stop. Nothing fancy like what Adam could do, but it was a start, Despite this he was disappointed with himself. It had taken him a solid ten seconds in order to gain the concentration required to stop three relatively light targets. He had a long way to go. He took a deep breath and stood back up to his full height. "Sorry to disappoint. I haven't worked with air much before." He said, an expression very similar to the meme of Lily Swan's 'unimpressive face' at his own action. 

[u]Henry[/u]

Henry turned upon hearing someone ask for his assistance. The hulking lizard turned around and was surprised to be nearly eye level with a huge crustacean like formation. One of his eyes swiveled downwards to look at the owner, a small girl. The other person, who seemed to have some of the more fish related characteristics joined her soon afterward. The one male offed his webbed hand for shaking, and Henry smiled, enveloping the hand in the huge appendage that was his own. Henry was not afraid of such small claws. The weapons that were his own claws were over two inches long on his middle finger. He shook firmly, careful not to crush the poor boy's hand, and nodded to the other girl. "Dr. Henry Olin, PhD. I'm the new chemistry teacher here." he said. "We'll be playing capture the flag soon, in terms of training, if you wish to spar, you should go to the pits over there." Henry said, reaching his arm over and pointing in the direction of the other group. "If you wish to team train, remain here. Stretch, talk, make some friend and alliances, we dont know who's team we'll be on yet. Once Adam finishes the one on one training, we'll be ready to move." He said.

He felt someone jump on his back again, and he briefly flashed invisible, only to hear Victoria's voice bounce around in his ears. "Please, like that would happen. Invisible or not it's kinda hard to move all of me around in broad daylight." he said, crossing his arms across his chest. His tail swished around behind him, curling and uncurling and twisting as if he was playing with it. He felt Victoria lean in closer to his head and turned back to a visible color, his eyes looking directly up and focussing on her with both of his eyes. Then when she asked his on a date he coughed. "Uh, [i]what[/i]?" he said. He had literally never been asked out. And his intelligent mind raced. He wanted to say yes, but he would risk her health in doing so, he would hurt her. He knew he would, at some point. He didnt know how bad but he would do it. He wanted to say yes so bad though. Here was his first and most likely only opportunity though... "Uh... maybe?" he said, his eyes wide, showing his mental struggle. "We'll talk on our little jungle adventure. But... I guess it's a date." he said. He fell silent for a minute before mumbling 'the struggle is real' under his breath. God had it out for him. He knew it.
