Discussing great and many things

Bringing in a few plants, herbs for the winter, Celeste stepped back into the kitchen when Azure came through the kitchen looking for her. Glancing at him, curious now when he called her, Celeste put the herbs on the counter and smile at him.

"What's up?" she asked as Celeste walked over to where he was. Azure rarely sought her out for much, and while she had respected him, let him do his thing, that didn't mean that Celeste didn't worry, but she knew she had to trust that he'd open up and come to her in his own time.

Celeste nodded in understanding, "Yes, your teacher did comment on it the other day, but also that you weren't sure whether you wanted to pursue the art or not," she said as she sat down on the arm of the sofa.

"Were you thinking about it maybe? Or did you need help finding which magic to pursue?" she asked curiously, knowing she could help him with whatever he needed, or almost. And if she couldn't, she knew Rafael always could.

"There are various ways, yes..." Celeste said with a tiny but serious nod at his question. "It will take a little work, and some time just trying to judge, get a feel for the different types of magic," she told him. "But most definitely, if you have magic in you, we can find out what type it is and what might be a good fit for you..."

"You see, there are different ways to use magic. There are spells, runes, ritual..." she told Azure, "there is also like an inherent magic, elemental magics are that way mostly... like Zoraida with her water magic which is basically connecting an idea to its outcome... it's not hard to do, not really, we'd just need to find your element if you wanted to go that route." she explained as she looked at Azure questioningly.

Celeste smiled and nodded at Azure. She completely understood what he meant. He was seeing signs, things that led him to his magic and what he could, if he choose to, be. All, or most, mages had a moment of reckoning.

Hers had been wanting at the age of four, maybe five, to help a friend when he had scraped a knee. She had placed a hand on the scrape, fascinated by it, feeling bad because her friend was crying cause it hurt, and wishing, that she could help him. And almost instantly, the scrape started healing before her and her friend eyes, causing both children to stare in awe at what happened... though neither her nor her friend at the time, realized that it was Celeste who had done such a thing.

"Wind, air elemental..." Celeste said thoughtfully as she stood up and regarded Azure almost critically as if she was looking for something that confirmed his words. In reality, she was trying to fit the idea to him, and yes, she could see it. Even his appearance was slightly windswept, and his stance, the way he moved was quiet as a breeze.

"You know, I can see it being your element," she then said with an affirmative nod. "Would you like to try and see?" she asked him.

"Great," Celeste said as she got up from the couch and went to the kitchen when Azure told her that he was willing to see what magical element was his. There she filled a clay bowl full of water, grabbed some sandstones that she kept for Shale to munch on, a candle along with some matches, and then some incense which she placed in a holder. Finally, she opened a closet and pulled out a long and rather wide slate board and some chalk.

Afterwards, she drew a large circle on the slate board, which she had placed flat on the floor, large enough to fit the four items that represented each of the four elements - the bowl of water for water, the stones for earth, the candle for fire, and finally the incense for wind.

Then she drew a symbol representing each elemental form and placed one by one each item on top of each symbol, lighting the candle and incense as she did so.

"There," she said as she looked at Azure, "Now, I need you to take off your socks and stand carefully in the centre of everything." she told him as she thought about the next step.
