Private Finished Diamonds and Plants

She'd grin, excited that she'd managed to form a gem so quickly, she'd hold it up go the light to look at it. The fact that she was able to make gems was so exciting and cool. The current gem wasn't perfect but it was a start, she'd set it down next to the last one.

Looking back to her brother, she'd watch as Amaranth explained the next exercise. "Remember not to eat him Tadashi," she'd tease him with a giggle, but decided to let him focus on his power practice.

Refocusing on her gem training she'd look a her hands, which would start to shimmer. She'd hum a little, one of her cat ears twitching, her mind picturing the gem she wanted to make.

The gem would rise from the palm of her hand, shimmering as it formed. Unfortunately once finished it looked slightly off, not right. Shiro would give it a poke and it'd dissolve into nothingness, the cat girl grunted in frustration.

"Now you're rushing it, not letting it form properly," Tholm told her, leaning on his cane and squinting at her, "you didn't let it finish becoming solid."

She'd watch her brother for a bit, her hands forming gems that quickly fell apart into dust, failures. This earned a jab in the ribs from Tholm's cane, focusing she managed to produce another full formed gem, she'd grin at her success.

The cat shifter looked up as her brother said something went wrong with his practice. "Maybe you're trying to hard," she'd say with a hum, "you don't try to listen with your ears....well you do sometimes, but you usually you just trust then to hear what you need."

Her hands continued to work as she talked, forming some more failed gems that either disintegrated or just vanished. She'd get another jab from the cane and she'd stick her tongue out at Tholm.

"So...," she'd turn back to Tadashi, "maybe don't try so hard and just.....I don't know, trust the plants, let you're ears hear normally." Made sense to her but she honestly had no idea if any of her advice would help.

"T-Tadashi," she'd stand, "hey its ok," she'd say, looking over at the clone in surprise, she hadn't been expecting that. "H-How did you do that?" she'd ask before turning back to him, "easy, it's ok, I'm ok." She knew Tadashi was extra protective after all the stuff with Anya, she was gone, but she'd put her through a lot.

Tholm would snort as the diamond clone confronted him, "ameture work at best," he wasn't even a little bit intimidated. "Word of advice boy, don't use someone's element to try to intimidate them," raising his hand he'd focus just a bit as if he was going to absorb to clone, Tadashi would probably feel the tug, the sheer amount of power her had. "As for your sister, I'm not hurting her, nor do I wish to. I have my teaching methods as does your regalia, so just sit and focus in your little plants."

"Let's just calm down," Shiro would say with a sigh, "I'm ok, and I'm learning something cool, so I'll be fine." She'd out her hand on Tadashi's shoulder, "the sooner I learn this the sooner it'll end. I promise you I'm ok."

She'd sigh a bit and take her seat, watching as her brother retrieved the mouse, she'd give him a smile. "You did good," talking to plants seemed strange but cool. "Just remember not to eat him," she'd giggle and playfully stick her tongue out at him.

With the confrontation over Tholm would take his seat, refocusing on Shiro and her power training.

Shiro looked back to her eyes, focusing once again on her gem generation. The palm of her hand would shimmer and sparkle as the process began. Slowly a purple gem rose from her hand, it'd form properly, taking on its proper solid structure.

"Got it," she'd say with a grin, setting the gem with the others, she now had four in total, "see I'm getting it."

"I....I'm not sure actually," holding the gem to the light she'd look at it curiously, she was still learning all the different kinds, "it's pretty though, maybe I'll use them for something, make something out of them." She'd giggle, "or maybe I'll use them to bribe people," she'd say jokingly.

She'd look to her brother, watching as he removed his gloves, what she saw was unexpected. She'd always thought that the gloves were just an aesthetic choice, turns out she was was quite wrong. "Touching the plants does sound like a good idea," she'd say, gently taking his hand in hers, "they probably like how calm you are."

She'd set the gem into his hand, a small gift for her patient brother who'd helped her with her troubles. "Either way, I think the plants will like you little bro," she'd say with a small chuckle, she liked to tease bother her siblings with the fact that she looked older than them.
