[color=c4df9b]"Yeah, I do"[/color], Kohra said, her green eyes locking onto the woman's purple ones. [color=c4df9b]"Help me get this thing working and I'll owe you a favor."[/color]

A wry smile crept across the bluette's lips at the words spoken by the younger girl. With an effortless push, the busty noblelady got off her own broom, landing next to Kohra, white heeled thighhigh boots clicking softly as they reunited with the ground - and certain [i]other[/i] bits of her anatomy jiggling briefly as a result.

[color=powderblue]"Well then, how could I refuse?"[/color] Camilla's voice nearly sang. [color=powderblue]"Though..."[/color] She looked up at the mayhem taking place above the two girls, before looking back at her new pupil. [color=powderblue]"We don't really have much time for details, so I guess it'll just be a crash course of the basics."[/color] She said this with a light laugh, as if she wasn't actually feeling any pressure from the possibility of missing out on grabbing her own golden winged orb.

Kohra's temper flared somewhat at the bluette's casual nature. Of course they didn't have much time! She fought it down though. There would be no use in scolding a person offering help at this stage.

[color=c4df9b]"Yes. Crash course."[/color], she said bluntly. [color=c4df9b]"As fast as possible if you please."[/color] Camilla stopped looking at the chaos above and returned her gaze to Kohra, the same wry smile still on her lips, and not the slightest hint of urgency present in either her face body or words that followed.

[color=powderblue]"As you wish. Let's get started."[/color]

After saying those words, Camilla moved with surprising speed, positioning herself right behind the other girl. With quick, firm but neither oppressive nor forceful hands, she grabbed Kohra's forearms, while standing behind her. ... Which, incidentally, caused those aforementioned anatomical bits to suddenly be pressed up against the commoner girl's back.

... They were quite soft. And firm. And squishy. Very squishy... There was also a pleasant, slightly floral scent coming from the bluette. Nothing overpowering or irritating, just a fain, but notable fragrance.

[color=powderblue]"First, you put your hands on the broom and grab it, firmly..."[/color]
Kohra's anger turned to mild surprise as the busty noble moved behind her. She felt her press up behind her back, face reddening even further as she guessed what [i]exactly[/i] she was feeling pressed against her back. The soft floral scent contrasted with the usual dirt and dust Kohra was more familiar with.

[color=c4df9b]"Al..alright..."[/color] Kohra said nervously, grasping her broom as instructed.
[color=powderblue]"Good, good... Now, just like when you use reinforcement for your own body--"[/color] Camilla started, but paused. Her words soft, measured, patient, but with a hint of sultry undertones to it. [color=powderblue]"--Mhmm, sorry. Have you ever used reinforcement magic before, sweetie?"[/color]
[color=c4df9b]"N...No"[/color] Kohra stammered, [color=c4df9b]"I'm not too familiar with it."[/color]

[color=c4df9b][i]Is she trying to make this uncomfortable? Because if she is, it's working.[/i][/color]
Camilla nodded - though Kohra couldn't really see it, since she was positioned behind the latter girl.

[color=powderblue]"Okay, then we'll just have to do it another way."[/color] The noble stated, apparently not finding the answer to be any sort of discouragement or nuisance. [color=powderblue]"So, close your eyes, take a deep breath and try to focus. Focus on imagining your arms as a spout for a tea kettle, and you're pouring the tea - your magic - into the cup, which is the broom, okay?"[/color]

Camilla adjusted her hands, sliding them further down Kohra's arm, towards the other girl's wrist, as if demonstrating how and where the younger lady's magic should be flowing.
Kohra let her arms be guided onto the broom handle, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She willed energy to pour into the broom and, as she did so, felt goosebumps rise on both of her arms. She felt the energy as though it were an extension of herself, and felt it merge with the broom between her legs.
Camilla smiled and nodded again.

[color=powderblue]"Good, just like that. Now-"[/color] She moved one of her arms further back along Kohra's and gently grabbed the other girl's forearm again. [color=powderblue]"-- Now think of this arm as the ear of the cup, the handle. When you [i]lift[/i] it - with your mind and magic - you'll be able to move it around. But keep your other arm as a spout, and keep gently feeding the broom your mana."[/color] The bluette explained, now starting to loosen her grip of the other girl, and taking a step back, releasing some of the [i]sensation[/i] and pressure on Kohra's back.
[color=c4df9b]"Alright. Slowly feed it magic..."[/color]

For a moment, nothing happened. And then, the winds slowly began to circle around Kohra. The young urchin from Ihu opened her eyes to see herself and the broom gently lifting a few inches into the air. A broad grin spread across her face as she twirled in the air.

This sensation was unlike anything she'd ever felt. This wasn't leaping or climbing or dashing, it was [i]flying[/i].

[color=c4df9b][i]I could get used to this[/i][/color], she thought to herself, spinning to face the blue-haired noble. Maybe she had misjudged her. After all, she could have easily gone on with the trial and left her behind, but instead she had stopped to help. Suddenly Kohra wasn't [i]as[/i] nervous about owing her a favor.

[color=c4df9b]"Thanks"[/color], she said, the broad grin still on her face. [color=c4df9b]"Now, do you want to collect that favor now, or later?"[/color]
Camilla softly clapped her hands together and smiled back at the grinning Kohra.

[color=powderblue]"Well done."[/color] After hearing Kohra's question about whether to get [i]paid[/i] now or later though, the bluette just gave the other girl a coy wink. [color=powderblue]"I don't think we've got time for anything else right now. Unless you wanna risk not catching one of those golden balls for yourself."[/color]

It was true though, even if Kohra had been a fine student and quick learner, a lot of things had changed in the aerial field above them during this rapid little lesson. Camilla then walked back over to where her broom was, lying on the ground, unceremoniously discarded from before. After picking it up, the noble resumed her sideways sitting position on it, crossing her legs once again before turning to her pupil while hovering above the ground.

[color=powderblue]"Just remember, the more magic you feed it, the faster you can go. Although, the faster you go, the harder it'll be to stop if you'd suddenly need to."[/color] Camilla began lifting up into the air again. [color=powderblue]"Now go do your best, kitten~  We'll catch up later."[/color]

It would seem that the noblewoman was in no hurry to collect her compensation for her efforts.
Kohra nodded respectfully at the noblewoman, grateful that the favor would only be collected after the trial. [color=c4df9b]"Thanks for the help."[/color], she said. [color=c4df9b]"Hopefully this works out well for you too."[/color]

[color=c4df9b][i]Maybe nobles aren't all bad.[/i][/color] she thought, speeding towards the pandemonium unfolding in the center of the arena.
