He nodded at Lila, "I'm an elemental dragon, I have fire, ice and lightning," from what he had learned sense he arrived, it was apparently rather rare for a dragon to have multiple elements, though this didn't do anything to better Theron's self confidence, "though I'm telling you both now, the lightning is off limits, it's unstable, I can't do anything with it without electrocuting everything around me."

He looked at Gloria a bit confused by her opinion on what fire, "I've caught three trees, two bushes and my bed on fire sense I got here, not exactly life giving," he often had a hard time keeping a positive opinion of his powers, his lack of control and his amnesia weren't a good combination.

"Either way, I'm here and I'll do what I can," as he said this his element unintentionally switched to ice and his breath became ice cold and very visible to anyone looking at him, a thin layer of ice appeared on his shoulders. He sighed and brushed the frost off but it quickly reformed, "sorry, the area might get a bit cold, I'll try and switch to my fire to warm it back up," he closed his eyes for a few minutes doing his best to focus on flames when suddenly his entire body burst into flames, the school had been kind enough to provide him with fire proof clothing but it was still very aggravating.

He sighed, "sure you want me here?" in truth he actually wanted to be here, but he was a bit worried, "I'd rather not accidentally hurt someone."

"Three elements? Um, cool," Lila replied, trying to keep her amazement to herself. She had to admit, it would be pretty cool to have three elements at your disposal. Even if the Lightning was 'off limits.' "Has the school helped with controlling the elements more?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's good you're here," she said, meaning it. She wanted everyone to turn up so they could practice, or at least get to know each other a little. But it seemed other people had different ideas about how to spend their day. She could feel the chill of Theron from where she stood, but it wasn't too cold yet, despite it being a cool day anyway.

Then ren the guy burst into flames. Whether or not he tried to, it was spectacular. It would look good when they all performed. That is, if he had enough control over his own powers. Lila had quickly learnt never to assume something too soon. "Whoa," she whispered to herself as she shielded her eyes from the brightness.

"Yes, we're sure, just stay," she said, frustrated of Theron's unsure comments. She wanted him to just get over his lack of control so they could talk without him asking if he should leave. But then again, it was better than not coming at all, so she felt she had to endure a few of those comments to get the team moving forward. "If you hurt me, the school has a sick bay. They do magic there. If not, I go to Heaven. Then I live on. Either way, what's the worst that can happen?" Her comment was not in the least bit reassuring and only made her worried of what could happen playing around with powers like these. She should've kept her mouth shut.

"Woah! I didn't think that was a thing, no no I didn't!" Gloria's mouth went wide, so happy that there was such a talented person in her presence. "Well I won't force you to do anything you don't feel safe with. I want everyone to feel like they are comfortable here." She didn't want her students to be running away from her for any reason, so she remained as neutral as she could. "I understand that." Even though she wanted to express her opinion, she knew where her views were on it. "No worries about that, the cold is nice sometimes!" Her attitude needed to stay positive, for the ones that were now looking up to her. "Of course I want you to stay! You are welcome here, wanted, okay?" Hopefully her words got through to him. To ease their minds, she sighed and smiled brightly. "No one is getting hurt today, okay? This is a fun place, so if you don't feel okay with something, let me know and we can skip past it. Today is used for you, and no one else, okay?" Her gaze went between them, hoping they understood more. "Now, where do you want to start?"

"Well you never really know. Accidents can happen," Lila pointed out. In her case, the most damage she could do was crash into something. Or make someone do damage, but not to other people. Directly, anyway. Gloria proceeded to encourage Theron, and Lila was becoming impatient. He signed up for the program, but he wants to leave. In her eyes that was almost as pathetic as not showing up! "Yeah yeah, I'm fine, got it." She answered as Gloria spoke. Finally they were going to start! She had lost a little enthusiasm but was ready to pull something together nonetheless. "I think we should find where - or how - our powers come together," She knew what she was trying to say but wasn't sure that the others were. "Like, we have to perform, right? And you're a dragon, so we can both fly. Maybe we could do something in the air? I don't mind what, I can pull off most tricks nowadays," she said, thinking of when she was young and unable to change direction mid-air.

*None of Lila's thoughts represent my own - I'm not calling other characters pathetic, Lila is. She's harsher than the average Angel. :)

Though the attitude that she had really wasn't all that good, the women kept her mouth shut. There was no need to start an argument with her students. "Oh!" Gloria smiled at the creativity that the girl seemed to have about this performance. "I think that would look really spectacular, actually. Make it something like no one has ever seen!" Her smile showed how happy she was about this, as if it was some amazing discovery. "I'm not sure what I can do, and considering that the others didn't show up, there is only a limit to what we can actually do."

He listened as the two talked, he was a bit quiet, always had been, or at least he had been for as long as he could remember, "ok I'll stay," a slightly sad look came over his face, "I'm afraid I can't fly....my wings....they don't work right," his wings didn't look right either, they looked like they had been broken and then healed wrong.

"I'm sorry if I seem down, my powers being erratic as they are has made me worry," normally he was quite cheery, but having burnt and froze things had left him a little depressed, "anyways," he gave a calm smile, "you have my fire and ice, lets see what we can do."

"Sorry that you feel so down." She wasn't sure how exactly to comfort him, but she would try her best. "Please don't worry about us here, this is a safe environment and I only hope that you feel the same." Gloria smiled, wanting to make the boy feel less alone. "I'm just glad that you felt okay enough to tell us both." With that, she nodded. "I'm glad that we have you then! I hope that you enjoy your time with us."

((OOC: about ready to wrap this up everyone? Maybe one post each left and then we can move onto the actual performance if you want))

Lila was bored of all the empathetic encouragement. She was in a room with a couple of strangers, one of which was a dragon who couldn't fly and the other was an over-enthusiastic teacher who could do... Something? She hadn't had an especially good day and she was drained of all patience. "Yeah, everything is okay, now let's do this," she said tiredly. "Okay, what can we do with what we have?" She asked. Stretching her wings out, she rose off the ground to execute a graceful backflip before hovering close to the ground. If they were going to keep giving Theron pep talks, she wanted to have something interesting to do meanwhile. If they were going to - finally - get down to business, having her wings out would be helpful. "By the way, I don't think I know what you can do, Gloria." She said this more out of interest than anything. She was helping them with their powers, after all.

((Sounds good.))
