Aqua was concerned when Æn'kae did not show up for morning lessons. She ran her class of course, planning to look for him after. Sadly, she couldn't find him. She waited until later in the day to check with Rren, and found them gone as well.

She'd seen this before, friends vanishing from a hub world, with no warning. So this was not a first. But still, it was a sad thing, and she would miss them.

Aqua was the Master of her emotions, not the other way around, but she was Master by way of actually feeling her feelings. So she could be found in the afternoon, once again up on the roof of the school, legs crossed, eyes closed as she meditated through her feelings. But she was willing to speak to anyone even while meditating, or while searching. And of course she always had time for her students in morning class.

“Okay then, here it goes,” he speaks up as he goes back to the first position as he is instructed.

[aquawayfinder]

"There you go. Now let's go a little faster," she said, demonstrating the same pattern again but a little bit faster.

[phoenixwiz]

Harry does his best to keep up with Aqua as he changes the same positions in the same pattern as swiftly as he can manage. The mind being at ease, no rushing to be in sight as he gets the hang of meditation.

[aquawayfinder]

"There you go. Try it again now, without me," she said, stepping aside to just watch.

[phoenixwiz]

He gets to do all the positions without help? Well he will definitely try his best. The young man quickly does the all the positions he has learned up until this point with such swift moves and less awkwardness on his own. So far he is doing really good so far.

[aquawayfinder]

"There you go!" she said, encouragingly. "That's the way. Alright, again please. Do the whole set five times."

[phoenixwiz]

“Sure thing, will do just that,” Harry chimes in as he begins to do the position pattern on his own five times as instructed, being mindful as he changes positions with more grace.

[aquawayfinder]

"There you go." She moved to face him. "Now, no matter what I do continue your form," she instructed.

[phoenixwiz]

“I understand very clearly, I’ll try to do my best to keep up with it and do it as much I as could,” he nods in agreement.

[aquawayfinder]

She nodded and after watching him a moment she pivoted on one foot, aiming a kick for his side. If he flinched away he'd be able to dodge, it was a slow kick. If he continued his pattern however, he'd block. Not that it was obvious that it would work out that way.

[phoenixwiz]

He is pretty quick in reacting to seeing a kick coming in his way. As soon as he notices it coming for him, he manages to block it without thinking twice. The young man isn’t sure if he is doing this right when he did this but he is quick to see what is happening in his surroundings.

[aquawayfinder]

"The form I gave you has the blocks you need," she said, kindly.

[phoenixwiz]

“Ah okay, that is really some good information for me to process,” Harry nods in response as he speaks.

[aquawayfinder]

She nodded. "Keep doing the forms and try not to flinch as I attack, get the feeling of blocking through the form."

[phoenixwiz]

“Got it, Master Aqua. I’ll try to keep up with blocking as much as I can,” he nods as he continues to do the forms, anticipating any moves Aqua will present for him to block.

[aquawayfinder]

She nodded. "Just feel the flow," she said as she drove the side of her arm at his head, timing it so that if he didn't flinch, the form would block her automatically.

[phoenixwiz]

He is able to sense the movement her arm is heading for his head, and true to what she said, he is able to go with the flow and immediately block it. It is full instinct at play.

[aquawayfinder]

"Very good. I'm not going to announce the next few. Just keep going through the pattern, alright?"

[phoenixwiz]

“Okay, got it. I understand the lesson very clear. I’ll do my best to keep up with the pattern as fast as I can manage.”

[aquawayfinder]

She nodded and settled into a ready pose. After he'd done two rounds she started her assault, gentle but unrelenting.

[phoenixwiz]

In turn he carefully blocks several of her moves with the position patterns that he has learned up until this part. They are in turn gentle but swift, and so far Harry is starting to get the hang of these moves relatively well.

[aquawayfinder]

"Alright. Doing well so far. Go take a jog, two laps around the school. Then give yourself fifteen minutes rest. Two more laps after that then come back here, alright?"

[phoenixwiz]

He didn’t waste anything to get started on jogging laps around the school grounds. So Harry goes in to jog around the school, two times, as instructed. When he does that first set, he rests up for 15 minutes before continuing to doing the last two sets.

After doing the last two laps, he is able to return back to Aqua, feeling a lot better with what he has accomplished so far.

[aquawayfinder]

"Alright, how do you feel?"

[phoenixwiz]

“Well. I actually feel a lot better now, it is quite refreshing to take time off to mediate and calm down not rushing things often.”
