She peeked up a little, after a bit of a pause, meeting Aqua's gaze. Softly, "It's long been a saying... something of a joke, I suppose... but did you know that it is possible to bottle lightning?"
She took another deep breath, and lifted her hands, putting them together. The shadows she was somehow affecting grew darker still, and another whisper of cool air slid away from where she sat.
"And sunlight, as well," she continued, "which must do, as I've seen no lightning here from which to drink...."
So it seemed to be confirmed, then, that she was pulling in the light and heat from around her. A beat passed, and then the shadows lessened a bit as she quit drawing it all in so much. The colors seemed a little brighter again, their waning only notable once it had so swiftly ceased. "But it's easier, I admit, when I have a proper vessel for it."
She lowered her hands and held them out to Aqua, cupping something within them now, a small sparkling thing, tiny and delicate, giving off some little light of its own, little motes of sunlight that had become... what, exactly, a bead? Mallia moved a hand, rolling it into the palm of the other. "Do you use magic yourself, perchance?"
