[Kurt's always one for the outdoors... so in this case, that means there's a Heartless sitting by a wall in the shade.
He's passing a ball of darkness around his hands, just idly working with it, letting it flow - the way things are? It hardly seems worth trying to hide what he is at all... so why not enjoy it in even little ways? And if he's going to be training others in its use, well - better practice.

He does look up, occasionally. Not as if he isn't used to the sun, but sometimes he can't help but wish...]

[Does so!]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Very well. You were comfortable enough handling that - sample I gave you there, weren't you? What we're going to start off with is simple - forming it, expanding, shrinking, shaping. Just controlling an external source.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

Right.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

So... let's start. Feel free to ask if there's anything that you don't understand...

[And another ball of darkness forms - making sure they've both got one ot work with.]

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

Sure.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

This is something I've - never really had to do before. It always came rather naturally to me... [He chuckles.]
Anyway. What does it feel like, to you, holding the darkness? What sensations are there?

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Thinks for a moment, inspecting the ball and biting her lip a little.]

Well...It's kinda hard to describe.

[ooc: Obviously, I know little about darkness. XD]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Try your best. In a way, it's not me you need to describe it to - it's yourself.

((OOC: Hey, not like I'm an expert myself... ;) If handwaves are involved, it's okay. ))

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Huh. Okay, she inspects the ball again, trying to figure out how it feels to her.]

[ooc: I'm just afraid I'll mess this up. ^^;]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He smiles, encouraging.] All I want is for you to understand.

((OOC: Just try your best, see what makes sense. I talk a whole lot of nonsense about it myself when I'm writing it at times!))

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

Feels sorta cold, but also, not. And, that doesn't make sense.

[Almost feels like hitting herself for such a bad explanation.]

[ooc: Nonsense? Oh, I can do that. XD]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[More nodding.]

It makes enough. It's a new sensation - I'd imagine such things might be hard to work out. This language was never made to describe it.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[It's easier for her to do things rather than explain them. Just tosses the ball around a bit, maybe playing with it for a while will help her get used to it.]

*post fix*

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He nods, watching as she does so for a while -]

The trick to controlling darkness is not simply to work with it physically - that is simple enough, isn't it? You also have to learn to do so mentally.

No problem. ^^

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That might take a bit of getting used to.

[She's a quick learner though. So it shouldn't take too long.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

It will, I'm afraid. But - hmm.

[He thinks about how to proceed.]

When you're used to the sensations, used to the feelings, put it on the floor in front of you.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[She nods, and takes a little longer getting used to the feeling of the ball of darkness in her hands, before putting it down.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[Another nod.]

This is going to be more complex, now. I want you to visualise the feelings of handling it - try and project them towards it. I want you to try and move it without physical contact.

[He still doesn't know if she's ready, but...]

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[...Blink.]

Uh, okay?

[This. Might take a little longer.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Just try your best. Focus on it.

[He still hasn't quite got 'what humans can do' versus 'what he can do'. But he'll be patient.]

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Well she's trying! Biting her lip as she concentrates hard.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[Smiling, sympathetic...] Try imagining your hand moving towards it, perhaps, touching it.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Okay. Tries that then.

I'm not sure if she should get it yet or not. You can decide if you want to?]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[And he's nodding, watching, again...]

((OOC: It's up to you how quickly you want her to progress - I'll roll with whatever.))

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[And she's still having trouble.]

[ooc: I have no idea. ^^; Uh, I guess it would take a bit of practice before she got used to it.]
