[ lance sees the smile, suddenly a bit self conscious about what he's figured out, what he's doing. most of what he's able to accomplish now has been trial and error, hours sitting in his room and working through whatever felt right. he's still no master, not by any means, but he's happy with his progress. or. was. now he's suddenly worried about whether or not what he's been doing is even right?

the thoughts materialize in the briefest waver to his smile, before it's pushed away. ]

Chi pathways....I feel like I've heard of that before? Kind of like Kung Fu, right? [ i'm so sorry about that.

but then mako will mention fire bending and lance is half a second away from asking about it when he makes the motion that he's going to demonstrate his earth bending. lance closes his mouth once again and takes a step or two back, watching very closely as mako starts in on the movements. that's when he strikes the ground, and lance's eyes go wide. ]

Holy- that's awesome? [ he will spare no enthusiasm here, his face breaking out into an excited smile, his eyes moving between mako and the earth now floating mid-air between them. ]

Can you teach me to do that?
