When In Rome...Again [Beloved]

Hearing the words of praise from Kaya made Live feel so incredibly good that she actually smiled. Not a smirk or a restrained expression of joy, but real smile that conveyed the actual emotion of happiness. Wild.

She began to slowly move the thread, pulling on it with her right hand. Instead of forcing it away from her skin, she let it slide around it so that it moved from her palm, over her middle finger and then up her arm. She used her left hand to help her focus her power and control on it. This was probably the most delicate thing she had ever done with a shadow before.

Her eyes narrowed a bit as Kaya asked her question. It wasn't a bad narrow, just a deep thought sort of narrow.

"Well, honestly, everything I know about myself is from research. I don't know how exactly I got my powers but I do believe that I have had them since birth but they were dormant until..." She was quite for a moment as her focus shifted back to the shadow as it started to travel back down her arm and back between her two hands. There was only so much she could focus on at once. "My brother was arrested when I was ten years old. I saw the whole thing. It was after that, that the shadows showed up. They were probably some form of Living Shadows and I could only see them because I am a Shadow Walker. The last Shadow Walker died over 200 years ago and I haven't found any evidence of any other kind of Walkers for the past sixty years or so... But that's all besides the point. After I saw those Living Shadows, I began to dabble with magick and soon learned that I could see spirits and summon shadow demons. Most of the real knowledge I gained was from summoning these demons and battering with them for information. A rather risky business but lucky for me, because of conditions that effect my existence, I was relatively protected from any harm they might have wished to bring upon me."

She paused, her eyes glancing up from the strand of shadow she had been focusing on this whole time, "I hope that answers your question." She tried to just keep contact with Kaya's eyes but it was...difficult to say the least. She blushed again.

Of course what Kaya said just make Live blush more and she tore her gaze away from her. She didn't take it as teasing just...well she didn't know what to take it as exactly.

"Well... If you find out anything from your father I would very much like to know. Like I said...I can never get enough information." She said as she tried to regain her composure and the cool the redness of her cheeks.

"It feels much less strained. More natural. I don't even feel like I'm controlling it just...working with it." Normally she really had to focus to cause shadows to move. Now though it was just like simply working with the energy that was there. It was kind of crazy how something that moments ago had been such a struggle was suddenly almost effortless. Whatever Kaya had done really worked.

The weave of living shadows was a bit intimidating. She didn't want Kaya to think that she was intimidated though so she gave a bit of a smirk, "Don't worry. I can be pretty forceful." She wasn't really sure how true that statement was. She felt like maybe she was more stubborn than forceful but those two things were pretty similar right?

As the two strings started coming towards her, she directed them between her hands with the other string. They sort of wrapped around each other in a twist. She could feel them, definitely stronger now, but she could still control them. She tried to keep them equally pulled between her hands.
