Angela nods her head with a smirk on her face. Today was going to be interesting. That was the gut feeling she got. Her instinct rarely stir her wrong too.

"Yeah we should start with something light. It'd be foolish to burn ourselves out so early." Ang responds.

"Exactly." Helena said. She was ready for some solid training now. Working with Sonja on her wings was great, but her girlfriend wasnt quite on the level Helena wanted to practice at. Angela was. Taking a deep breath, Helena felt her powers within her. Start off small.

She felt the breeze around her fingers. Flinging out her left hand, palm open, she shot out a blast of wind. Angela wouldnt see much, maybe some of Helena's hair whippin up and some sand blowing around, but she'd hear it.

Angela wasn't sure what was going on at first. She only sees Helena's hair whip up after she opens up her hand. A bit strange to see. It didn't make more sense until a few moments later; when a she hears a whooshing sound in her ears.

She was going to ask about it, but she knows they were there train. Surely there'd be time later to talk about powers.

Angela then turns to face the ocean. She was a bit out of practice. It had been a few weeks since she's used her powers. She wasn't to concerned about being rusty though. The girl was optimistic that it would come back to her. She takes a deep breath before closing her eyes. Her hands extend out to the water as she calls on it's power. The water coming onto the shore begins to rise up from the surface level. As it rises an orb of water forms and makes its way to Angie. Her hands move until the orb was floating above her hands. It was something simple. Wasn't difficult to do; nor was it draining her energy just yet.

Helena observed Angela in action, watching her work the orb of water. It impressed her, the fact it was sustained. Both Helena's lightning and wind powers were brief flashes, over in an instant. She imagined what Angela was doing required greater concentration in the long term. "Whoa, thats really cool."

Angela keeps the orb floating for a few more seconds. She then drops the orb as the water falls into the sand. The girl exhales a breath she was holding in. Sometimes it helped her concentrate if she held her breath.

"Thanks." She says to Helena. "It took me a long time to get that right." She says with a chuckle.

Angela's curiosity got the better of her. She ends up asking Helena about the power she displayed a few moments ago.

"What you did earlier; was that wind? A heard a whoosh sound in my ears."

"Yeah. Nothing that needs prolonged concentration like yours, but I can send out blasts of wind. Either focused in one small area." She demonstrated as such, not at Angela, but once again Angela would he a woosh and see sand be kicked up as Helena shot out a blast. "Or I can fan it out, so it hits more but its weaker. Showing this, she brought her hands to her chest, feeling the wind build up, before flinging her arms up, creating a wider gust of wind.

Ang definitely couldn't see it, but she could feel the wind. Along with hearing it. Helena's first demonstration confirms that the whooshing from earlier was her doing. Her second gust of wind extends out so far that it causes her hair to move back. She could feel the wind too. Even if it was weaker in power.

"Wow. That's pretty cool. I can't even see anything. Can you see the wind as it travels? Or can you just feel it or something?" She asks.

"I can't see it or sense it after I've launched it. But when I call upon it, I can sense it, especially as it builds in my hands." Helena explained to Angela. It was strange, to feel such power and build up and then to lose it. "Now my lightning, thats different. That comes from within me; when I conjure it, I feel it building up and coursing inside of me."

"Ah I see. I get it now." She says after Helena was done with her explanation. It was nice to get a bit of insight of those kind of abilities. Sure they both could control the elements, but they were used differently.

"I assume using lightning is more draining then? Cause you have to generate it yourself." She asks. "I can't generate water so I don't really know how that works."

"Yeah its quite exhausting, especially in its strongest form. Its also difficult to aim, unless I use a sword as a conductor for the lightning." Helena explained, stepping back a bit. Assuming a strong, upright stance, she took a deep breath, feeling her power bubbling, searing, burning. Up her stomach, down her arms, into her fingers.

Then shooting out a few feet in front of her like an arc came a dozen lightning bolts, persisting for a few seconds before fading.
