Thistle listened with all the seriousness a child like her could muster, like she was probing secrets she had yet to understand. If she just wished really hard...? Before she could reply or try anything out, though, there was a voice from up above, complimenting Nova, and the wonderful, brave pup stood in front of her, cautious and protective and bold. She smiled at the gesture, and her smile grew even more when Baro was being brave and telling Nova that it was okay, and that there was no need to worry. Her heart warmed; when she and Baro first met, he couldn't have done that, he would've just cried. She felt so proud of both of them, really. She looked up at the mystery voice, and grinned up at them. "Well hullo there!" She called, her ears flickering toward them, a kind smile on her face. "Can you tell us what magic is, sir?" She was no aficionado on the matter; she'd never even heard of it except in her dreams! Could people use it in the waking world? She didn't dare to hope! --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: @Diot |

Their reactions all were different from one another. The schnauzer obviously the protector of the group, high strung and holding much love for their friends. They questioned him with authority, but it was more cute than intimidating to Diot. The adorable hyrbid was kind and trusting, welcoming Diot to get closer. But then the small gazelle spoke up, she was so pure! Nothing but curiosity! Warm and welcoming in such a soft an angelic voice! Well Diot threw caution into the wind and began his rather quick descent down. Scrambling down the tree with ease. Attempting not to approach them too fast, that dog seemed to be on high alert after all.
Diot waddled his way through the snow, slowly approaching the warm circle the dog had mad. Ah, toasty warm; what a lovely ability! Sitting down he patted the millipede, who seemed to be a rather peculiar scarf rather than an animal itself. Smiling up at the gembound, he was rather small compared to them; especially the hybrid. But being only a foot tall would do that. "Look at you three, so young and quite large already!"
Diot was still getting adjusted, curling his long tail around himself, patting the ground as if checking or greeting it. He could be considered an aficionado.Trying to learn all he could from nature, his very element. He had been gifted with such an amazing teacher after all. The very trees and wind themselves. So it would be only fair to explain what he had learned through his life. "Now before I continue telling you three a little of what I know, my name is Diot. D-OH..."
Extending his hands outward he motioned for them to speak up, to reveal their own names in turn. It was only fair, but should nature not have provided them with such a title yet; then he would understand. Patiently waiting smiled widely, listening to each of their replies.
"Such lovely names...now young ones...Magic is something that runs through all of us...some more obvious than others...some control fire, summoning it at their very feet and hands. Or even breathe it out from their lungs. Others may be able to manipulate and control the very light and darkness around us! Summoning vivid pictures and forms that can move around! Even electricity and earth are some of what can be wielded...If you can think of it, there is magic for it. I myself am gifted with the ability to connect with nature, call upon the very plant life around us"
Reaching down Diot spun a hand over the soil, coaxing up a juvenile plant. "Now...I am slightly familiar with your magic...or well one of my father's are...He can control energy. Which is something that many times can be invisible to us. You my dear dog, seem to possess the same."

When the new comer came closer, Nova would glance over to Bar as they claimed "It's okay Nova... They seem nice. They thought your magic was really good...!" This was true, they did give her praise for performing her skills so well. The black pup would sit back down on her rump while the money came down the tree and closer to the little group of children. And he knows about magic? That was what peaked her interest, scooting closer to get a better listen at what they had to say. Eyes lit up as this Diot would create something green from the earth below all of them, small and simple but life all the same. Wooooow. Leaning over to sniff at the plant, still listening intently to the other. She was quickly becoming aficionado to their information. "Now...I am slightly familiar with your magic...or well one of my father's are...He can control energy. Which is something that many times can be invisible to us. You my dear dog, seem to possess the same." Energy? Meeting his gaze, tilting her head to the side. Energy magic? That was something to tell her teacher, the ice lizard was trying to better understand her magic and know that she had a name for it, it could help him with training her? "With energy . . . what else can I do?" Barking out her question, giving Thistle a little nuzzle as Nova watched Diot, early would attempt to perk up but only flop to the sides. "I can make things go boom and change the temperature, but what else?" This was something she needed to understand, so she could be stronger. --------- "Speech" Thoughts OOC: stronger is better |

Baroque listened carefully to the others, staying quiet now that the older monkey was explaining things to them. Magic Magic seemed wonderful, but he already knew he would be no good at it. He was already rather bad at most things... So...
Quietly, however, Barry tried to touch his magic. He wanted to know-- hoping he wouldn't accidentally stop time again because that was pretty dang scary and he was sure he would cry if he did.

No vision comes to the grizzly lion's eyes, in fact, for a short moment of time the cub is rendered blind. In the darkness, there is nothing, no vision of anything. Then, abruptly, a blood curling scream cuts through the gembound's ears. Afterwards, his vision returns. The rest of the group are unaware of what Baroque has heard.

Whatever Nova said next was lost to Baroque. Panic hit him, his legs going stiff and claws digging into the loamylllll soil as his fur went on end. Why couldn't he see?! Why did something horrible always happen whenever he tried to use his gem?
The scream hit his ears and his vision flooded back, but the poor baby fell to the ground, getting a face full of muddy slush. A yelp escaped his throat and he shook, fear penetrating his whole being. That was horrible?! What was it? Frantically he looked for Thistle and Nova-- not even feeling relief when he saw they were okay-- and then looked at Diot.
Embarrassment hit him before the fear even began to lower. Terrified, the child reached out for his father through their connection.
Tears formed in his eyes, but by some miracle he held them back, holding his breath while he waited for his father's mind to brush reassuringly against his own.
