[Eley flinches a little at that sudden crack of lightning, raising his hand at the blinding flash. It didn't scare him though, no it... impressed him. Not only that but it seemed to make Helios seem weirdly more desirable to him. Why? He'd never looked at anyone like that before all of this. It... it didn't make sense.

He shakes his head as if trying to push away those thoughts and steps out into the clearing when he saw a good opportunity. The closer he came however, the more he realised his heart was beating in his chest and it takes him a good moment to manage to actually form words.]

...Helios.

oh dear

[folklorist]

[ Helios is totally not paying attention to you there Eley. His own attentions are fixed on the smoking grounds before him. It's only when the spirit says his name that Helios will jump slightly and turn to find the other man there watching him. For some reason his own heartbeat speeds up a little, but he just attributes it to his magic practicing. He gives Eleytheria a rather warm smile and a slight wave. ]

I-I didn't see you over there. Hello. Ah. Is-is there something I can help you with? [ Helios has been offering the other a lot of assistance in the past, so this time is no different. Though he feels slightly different when he asks it. But he'll just...keep that feeling pushed to the very back of his mind, yes. ]

[winds_voice]

[Oops, he didn't mean to startle the man. But he'll come closer now he supposes it must be safe. He shakes his head at that question.]

No, I... thought I would move away from the village for a time. Being around people has left me feeling very... odd.

[Why did he suddenly feel so nervous?]

I noticed your magic. It was quite impressive so I thought I would take a closer look.

[folklorist]

[ Helios smiles at the other man's questions, shaking it his head. ] It seems like we both had the, ah, same idea then.

[ He laughs warmly as the cold makes his breath into a white vapor before the two of them. ]

O-Oh you, you did? [ Cue a slightly flustered look here. Did not expect compliments from a man like Eleytheria. He did not expect compliments from the spirit to be so...exciting either. But his heart leaps a little in his chest when Eley says that. ] It-it was nothing really. Just some m-minor spells.

[winds_voice]

[He would have liked to have seen his magic either way but today it seemed so much more interesting! And strangely beautiful... He feels as though he never wants to leave Helios' side right now, just sit with him and watch him weave his spells. Sharing that time and space with him... it seemed very important, not that he wanted to admit it.

As his thoughts wander to this revelation, the Spirit realises he's been staring. He looks away rather abruptly, blushing slightly.]

Still... I cannot help but be fascinated by your abilities. I know no humans who can reproduce what you just did after all. Even if I did... somehow I still think you would be more appealing.

[folklorist]

[ Helios laughs sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head as he manages a smile. He notes how the other is staring and, oh, oh dear Eleytheria must be affected as well. Helios' flustered look doesn't abate much but he manages to not make things more awkward by coughing a little and waving his hand in a brushing off motion. ] Well that's-that's very nice of you to say. It-it wasn't anything too special though.

[ Very appealing, goodness that is a first. It somewhat fills Helios with a rising sense of pride, if only because it's the other saying so. He fidgets a little in place, looking towards the ground as he does so. ] Is-is that right? W-would you, um, like to see anything else? I-I mean since we're out here and all...

[ Oh gosh what was he even saying. ]

[winds_voice]

[Oh? He was offering to demonstrate more of his magical abilities? Well, in Eley's current state he can't exactly say no. Not that he would have done in normal circumstances but... now he seems even more eager to observe what Helios can do.]

I would enjoy a demonstration. What else are you able to do? Surprise me.

[Surprises were good, right?]

[folklorist]

[ Helios is more than happy to demonstrate his skills to the other. He would have been equally eager in any other moment, but today he was...just a little bit more so than usual. Helios gives a light nod before taking in a soft deep breath of air and exhaling the same way. His normally green eyes will suddenly glow with a bright and lively power. The wind around him will pick up then and with a quick snap of his wrist a small tornado will come to life before the two of them. Helios will then chant another word and a jet-stream of water will rise up through the center of the twister. The cold air, coupled with the wind, makes the water freeze where it stands and strands of water will be frozen in motion as the tornado dies away. All that's left now is a crystalline structure of ice in the center of the small clearing. ]

H-How do you like it? [ He gives a cautious little look back at Eleythria, awaiting his thoughts on the matter. ]

[winds_voice]

[Eley watches with some deep fascination as Helios readies himself for magic. The wind tugs at his clothes, gathers around him and all the while the Spirit is just staring and loving every moment of it. This power stirs his heart and he can't help but reach out to the wind as if trying to take some of it for himself.

...it wasn't over though. A tornado forms at Helios' command, something small yet still not unimpressive. He watches as a jet of water arcs its way towards the whirlwind, freezing into something both alien and... beautiful.

Eley moves closer to the structure, touching a strand of the ice lightly with his fingers.]

It is... truly beautiful. [He turns to Helios, regarding him strangely.] As are you.

[folklorist]

[ Oh my. He was not expecting the last of those words. Especially when they're directed at him. So, yeah, not really sure what to say to that. Hm. He's so terrible when it comes to these sorts of things. His face colors considerably, it doesn't help that Eley was so very...direct with that statement either. Helios ducks his head a bit shyly before he manages a small, albeit sheepish, reply. ]

O-Oh. Um. Thank you...

[ He doesn't really know why those praises fill him with such utter joy and self appreciation. But he's more than glad that his work and magic has impressed Eleytheria to that degree. ]

[winds_voice]

[Eley's really not sure why he said that in the first place but... there are certain feelings welling inside of him that he suddenly feels compelled to act on, at least in some way. The Spirit feels a warmth in his cheeks too at the realisation of just what happened, leaving them both in a rather awkward state of silence.

At least until he clears his throat and tries to break it.]

I apologise if that sentiment embarrassed you. I seem to be having a great deal of trouble controlling my emotions during this holiday... I have started to feel things I am unfamiliar with. It seems that the same feelings arise when I look upon you and your magic.

[folklorist]

[ Helios smiles lightly beneath the tilt of his head so Eley can't really see it too well. ] I-I know what you mean. I-I think it might be a shift. [ Because these feelings that he can't have, but so thoroughly is enjoying again, could never just come back like this. ]

But my magic is-is making you feel that way? [ His tone of voice sounds vaguely...happy and enchanted that he could make someone feel such an emotion with his magic. He almost likes the thought, except it might just be the Malnosso playing with them again. ]

[winds_voice]

[He's sure it must be because not long ago Eley had no idea of the concept of love. True, the emotions he had developed in Aether had come about suddenly, but they had been provoked into being and from that day onwards things had changed... yet gradually. Nothing had happened recently to prompt such a sudden change in feeling... nothing that would warrant love, surely?

Still it wasn't a bad feeling, and if it made others happy perhaps it didn't really matter whether or not it was real. Eley can't help but wonder about Helios as well though... He tilts his head curiously as if trying to look past his shyness.]

Are you... feeling the same way? Or is it just me?
