Brunhilde continues standing at attention as Avarius speaks, and flips the book open when he mentions three aspects of elemental manipulation, quickly scribbling down his words, and a few small footnotes.

She looks to the journal again and checks the index, then flips to a page roughly in the middle of the book. She quickly scans the page, and conjures a very light breeze aimed towards her own face, clearly concentrating on what she's feeling as she does so. The breeze stops momentarily, and a sort of staccato rhythm of air comes in across her face, as she tries to think of how to describe it. She then allows it to stop and looks back up at Avarius.

[color=8493ca]"I feel the positions, the movements, the consistency, and the emotion of the air around me. For instance, when I entered the academy grounds, the air felt much more powerful than elsewhere, regardless of the force of the winds. More... Energetic and calm at once, if that makes sense. My attention was drawn towards you initially by the feeling and scent of the currents you were toying with."[/color]

She starts pacing, thinking hard on what exactly she does. Up until this moment, it's mostly been unconscious actions and reactions. [color=8493ca]"I can't quite get a solid grasp on how I manipulate the air. It's all very vague. Perhaps the easy way to put it is that I will it to do something and it does it, but it almost feels more like I'm having a conversation. Or an argument. Take your pick. When I hover or stop myself from falling, I feel as though I'm telling the air exactly what it needs to do, and the motions it needs to perform to do it. But to do that, I have to listen to it first."[/color]

She stops pacing and turns back towards Avarius and his assistant. [color=8493ca]"Perhaps what I do is a bit too simple and heavy-handed. It's very straightforward, even if I can't rightly explain it."[/color]
