"My first student took four days to catch them all. Isaac said, looking like he was asleep aside from the fact that he was speaking. "Get to bed now, alright?"

She simply stared at him for a few moments until Diah wordlessly lifted her bridal style and started towards the house.
She was sound asleep before he even got her to the bed.

Isaac watched them go, giving a long sigh. It had taken him sixteen hours to catch them all his first time.

((FF to morning?))

Carol woke the next morning to find Diah sleeping next to her, his arm supporting her head like a pillow. A warm smile crossed her lips and she cuddled closer to him. He, in response, wrapped his arm around her shoulders and yawned. "Awake already?" He asked, his eyes still closed.
"What do you mean 'already'?"
"With how tired you were, I'd figured you'd sleep the whole day."
"I never could stand doing that, no matter how tired I was." She frowned slightly. "Did Jin ever come back?"
"Don't know. I fell asleep not long after you."

"He didn't." Isaac answered from the bay window he'd chosen to sleep at. It was easier for him to relax with angels than demons. "But I think I might know how we can 'accidentally' run into him. He'll be at his sister's to retrieve something in a few days according to Sue. We need to go there anyway to get you a weapon, but I think we'll let the two of you work it out before arming you."

She sighed. "There's nothing to 'work out'. I'm not trying to force him to come back. If he doesn't want to be around me...then that's fine." She sat up. "Besides, he'll just distract me from other things I need to do."

"I thin the problem is that he -does- want to be around you. But I'm surprised you aren't more upset..." He said distantly.

"There's no point in getting upset. He'll do what he wants." Her outfit shifting to a tank top and sweat pants, she asked, "So, are we going to get to work or are you going to lay there all morning?"
"Aren't you hungry?" Diah asked in slight surprise.
"No."

"I'm comfortable..." He said with a lazy sigh, "But I guess we should get started. Let's work with some offense today, and magic. He pulled out the large beads from the day before ad flattened them into disks, their coloring changing to colored targets. he set them loose out the window, then looked back to her. "We also need to get you a weapon from Annet. We'll probably do that tomorrow. We need to find out what your strongest and weakest mediums or elements are." He stood, "Personally I do best with water and electricity, they're very similar elements, although I've mastered each in the 'positive' realm. The elements are basically titles for different kinds of energy that correspond with different elements. The energy that I use mainly for example, corresponds best with electricity, and commonly controls it better than any of he others. However I've found it very useful to use with water, as long as I have the strength to keep it under control. Let's head outside shall we?" He said as he moved to the window. It was hard for him to make such a high jump with his damaged wings, but he was too prideful to let it stop him. Besides, physically he wasn't bad off, aside from looking like he'd starved a bit too long.

She followed him out the window, Diah following her. "Okay, so what am I doing today?" She asked, stretching.

"I just told you, we're finding your strongest energy and showing you how to use it." He glanced around, "Diah, would you kindly retrive a few small items? A handful of water, a small plant, a rock, and a flame? It'll give you something to do." He took a seat on the concrete fountain, pulling a small orb of water from it. "Scratch the water, we've got that." He sent the water towards Carol. "Can you catch it? Try to keep it in shape."

With a small sigh, Diah flew off.
Carol caught the water easily, awed by the sight of it. "It feels very cool..."
A few moments later, Diah returned with the objects requested and set them down next to Isaac. "There you go. I couldn't find a pure flame, but one of the girls had a lighter."

"That'll do." Isaac answered Diah before turning to Carol. "Very good, now see what you can do with it. Try shaping it, moving it, ect."

It was only a few minutes before she was shaping the water into the form of a person and making it dance, giggling like a school girl. "This is so fun."

"Let's try fire next." Isaac lit the lighter and pulled the flame from it, carefully growing it to a decent size. "Here, try the same with this one."

She didn't have as near an easy time with fire, and even managed to burn herself once. "I don't like this one," she muttered when she finally got it to shape the way she wanted it to.

"Try air, see if you can control that. It usually works well with water too. "

"Well I've already messed with that, remember?" She pointed out, creating a gentle breeze and watching the grass sway. "It's not very hard."

"Alright, try the rock, see what you can do with that."

She found the rock to be a lot like the bones she'd healed, but a lot more stubborn. It was easier than the fire, but not much.

"And finally, electricity. You should be able to pull it from the clouds and direct it."

She stared at him like he was crazy. "That could kill me if I do it wrong."

"Ah, Carol, first, you're already dead. Second, if something goes wrong, I'll take care of it."

She rolled her eyes. "I know I'm already dead, but I'd rather not take a trip to the graveyard."

"Just try it."
