[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...]

It's okay.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He smiles, nods, thinks.]

You're getting there, anyway.

^^

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

I guess, I just need to keep practicing. Right?

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Right.

[He gives a bit of a chuckle. Again, wondering where to go next.]

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Well she's just gonna continue practicing for now.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He sits back.]

Tell me when you're ready to try something else.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[She nods, and keeps practicing moving the ball around for a while. Once she's able to move it around a little easier, she nods, and looks up at Kurt again with a small smile.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He nods back.]

One more exercise with this, then...

[He calls another sphere of darkness up, having it hover between his hands, and starts to demonstrate-]

Shaping it. Pulling it. Forming it. Stretch and twist it by hand, and when you're used to that, try it without contact.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

Uh...Okay?

[This looks a little harder. But she's still going to try. She's stubborn when it comes to things like this.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Good.

[No-one ever said he was the type to go easy on these things... he's demonstrating, still, himself, as he watches to see what she'll do.]

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Okay. Just, gonna try it by hand first, getting used to how it feels and committing it to memory.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[It's what he'd expect. He just relaxes for a while as she does so.]

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[And once she's done with that, she'll start trying to do it without touching it as well. Once again, it looks like she might need a little time to practice first.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[Not a problem; he's patient.]

Just feel for it.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[She nods, biting her lip a little in concentration.

...And, after maybe a few minutes of practice, she starts to get it!]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He just about laughs, happy, at seeing it.]

Excellent work!

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[She can be a quick learner sometimes! She smiles.]

Thanks!

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He nods at that. Hm, what next?]

You're adjusting to - learning the feel of it, then, are you? Is everything fine so far?

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Nods, concentrating on the ball.]

I think so. It's not as difficult as before.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Good. It will come with practice - as you familiarise yourself with it.

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[Nods again and keeps working at it.]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Tell me when you're ready to move on...

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[And, just like before, she takes a little more time to keep practicing, before nodding.]

Okay.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[While she's practicing, he's back to just 'playing' with the sample of darkness he was demonstrating, but lets it fade out as she says that.]

Very well. The next step... may prove far more difficult, I'm afraid, and more tiring. But you're learning well.
What seems to me to be the next move will be to show you how to - channel darkness to be used, not just to use what has been handed to you. Are you ready to attempt it?

[blade-angel.livejournal.com]

[She thinks for a moment. She's still a little cautious about her own Darkness, seeing as her last experience with it, wasn't exactly pleasant.

But, if she's gonna learn to control it, she's gonna have to use it, so...]

...Yeah. I'm ready.

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Good.

Now - close your eyes. Focus on the sensations you've experienced during these past lessons... try to feel for them around you.
