Tia grinned at Lorelai as she cheered her on and gave her different suggestions, as she did so something struck her mind, she's seen Lorelai do it a couple of times before... maybe they could do that now, even things out a bit. She was probably getting bored. "Frosty, You can freeze things while you're moving can't you?" she inquired, a small smile appearing on her lips, "I just figured that what i really need to do is direct the wind where i want, and instuct it do what i need, and i'll probably need to use my hands, my mind isn't capeable enough to do it just by sight."
She bit her lip, "I'll start out small, and as i'm moving them, you can freeze 'em. It'll warm you up. We'll keep increasing the size of the thing as we go along." Tia suggested, a small twinkle entering her eyes, as she waited for her companion to respond.

Lorelai nodded at the question, "Yeah I can, what do you have in mind?" she asked, her interest piqued. "And do whatever you need to, I use my hands to guide what I'm doing too," she said, giving her a little smile. She heard the idea and grinned. "Yeah! Let's do it. Show me what you got little girl," she said playfully, getting up and offering a hand to Tia to help her up as well. Lorelai could see that the idea was interesting even to Tia and the fact she wanted to work on her powers was awesome. Powers like hers should be honed and trained because they were so cool and useful too.
When Tia got up as well, Lorelai stood up straight, slightly in a stance as she readied herself for what would be thrown at her.

Tia grinned, actually grinned at Lorelai, before she stood up and picked up a medium-sized rock off the ground. "Lets start with this," she said before tossing the rock on the ground in front of her. She set her eyes on the rock, as she felt the direction of the wind... mmm still the same. She bit her lip, as she used her mind to connect to the wind, and she used her hands to direct the wind. Due to her amount of concentration, and her use of hands, the amount of wind that headed towards the rock wasn't mearly just a breeze. Tia sighed, she'd called on too much wind. She tried to lower her concentration, that helped. The air moving towards the rock, calmed a bit.
The rock was hoovering in front of Tia roughly leveled with her eyes, "C'mon Frosty, your turn," Tia mummbled, as she pushed her hands forwads, the wind causing the rock to jet forwards, across the courtyard.

At the sight of Tia actually really grinning Lorelai grinned as well, and watched as she experimented a little with the wind. It was interesting to watch as it was Tia finally getting in touch with her powers, and as the medium sized rock was now at her eye level, Lorelai got ready. When the rock flew out over the courtyard, she moved and threw out a hand, a spray of snow sent in its general direction and she clenched her hand a little so that the snow that blew around it solidified around it.
Now that she had control of it she flicked her hand off to one side and sent it skipping onto the lawn. She giggled and turned back to Tia. "Next thing, please," she said with a grin and waited for something else to freeze. It was no team practice, but she liked it anyways.

"That really was too easy wasn't it?" Tia muttered, a grin streching across her face. She bit her lip as her eyes fell on something left on the side walk. Tia set her eyes on it, before she got her mind to touch the wind again, once she was sure she'd got control over the small amount of air needed, she used her hands to lift the skateboard, up. Tia hadn't really thought that distance would be a factor - but it was, she'd need more air, the skateboard was putting up a fight. Damn gravity. Tia didn't take her eyes off the skateboard, as she called onto more wind, this was now turning into a sort of chore.
The wind moving towards the skateboard got slightly harsher, forcing it up in the air, Tempest turned to look at Frostbite, the skateboard floating along with her, "I promise i'll break off the ice," she muttered, adding a wink. The skateboard half fell. What!? She couldn't even take her eyes off the thing!? This was insane! She sighed, as she lifted it back up, her hands aching slightly, her head hurting a bit. She directed the skateboard to zoom forward in the same direction as the rock.

"It was fine," Lorelai said with a shrug and a laugh. Team practices had her doing different things including stuff like this, so it wasn't too difficult. She followed Tia's object of concentration and made a face playfully. "Hey! That's my board! And it's wood!" she said, laughing a little as she moved after it too, spraying snow at that but keeping the ice that formed around it minimal. It started to fall but she slowed it down a little and caught it in her arms. Placing a hand on it she made the ice turn to powdery snow again and it blew away with Tia's wind. "Now it'll have to dry for a bit before I can ride it again but that's okay, this is more fun. Keep stuff coming Tia," she said, dropping her skateboard on the ground and kicking it away with her foot so it rolled off out of the way.

"It's giving me a headache!" Tia complained, "Does it always give you a headache when you concentrate so much?" she asked, her dead tone refusing to budge. "You make it look so easy! How d'you direct your power so easily? It takes me ages, to just... get the right amount of wind, and toss it. Gives me a headache!" she sighed, as she sat down on the floor, "Can I have a break?" she asked, looking up at frostbite, a small pleading smile forming on her lips, "Gah, i'm too weak." she sighed, as she interlocked her fingers, resting either of her elbows on her thighs, and dropping her chin on top of her interlocked fingers.
"Is it just me? Or does everyone go through this stage?" [/font]

When Tia complained Lorelai relaxed her small stance and shrugged a little. "Depends on what I'm doing, like if it's something big then it might," she answered, and walked over to Tia as she sat down. Lorelai sat down next to her and leaned back on her hands. "Practice, Tia, practice. That's what the classes and team practices are for, so you can learn how to use your powers and expand on them. I work on my powers and I keep up on them so now simple little things are exactly that- simple," she said, looking at her. "Like for example, I can shoot shards of ice out of my hands. It used to affect me, but it doesnt anymore because I've worked on it and have figured out how to conserve with it," she explained, and then nodded. "Sure you can have a break, I don't mind," she said.
"You're not too weak, and it's not just you. Anyone who has to learn how to control their powers has to go through this stage. It's like I said just practice, keep up on it, and sometimes push yourself to do more. It does get easier," she answered, leaning forward off of her hands and smiling at Tia. "You'll get it, don't worry."

Tia sighed, looking up at Lorelai, she was literally like a older sister to Tia, the way she always tried to encourage her and help her out, oddly enough, it always worked. "I hope I do," she muttered, "You're right, I've just gotta practice." Tia smiled a little, as she took her chin off her fingers, and burried her face in her hand for a second, before rubbing her eyes. She bit her lip before she jumped up. "Sod the break, i've gotta learn it the harder way, it'll be better." A small smile curved her lips, before her face went back to normal.
Once Lorelai was up aswell, Tia looked around, she wanted to try something different... she tried to remember the things she looked up on wind dancer... "Hmm, Frosty, d'you wanna try this? Shoot some of your snowy stuff at me, i'll see if i can create a wind sheild to block it..." [/font]

Lorelai nodded at Tia, and then looked up at her when she jumped up, forgetting the break she just asked for. She got up as well and nodded, "Sure, I can do that," she said, her hands already forming snowballs in each one. It was so simple and fun, and the safest thing if Tia didn't manage to make a shield. They were soft, she made sure of that, but firm enough to stay in a balled shape, and she raised one as she met Tia's eyes.
"Ready?" she asked, and then threw one to see how it would go, and then she called out, "Think fast!" and threw the other at her.

Tia smiled at Lorelai, as she agreed. She took a couple of steps back before shooting the snow stuffs at her. Tia blinked, she hadn't actually worked out how to create a wind sheild! She shut her eyes, there was nothing to focus at this time, before she called upon the wind. She could feel the control she had over it, she could sense it. She bit her lip, inside her head, she could literally see the wind moving. Tia wasn't too sure if that was a part of the gift, or just her imagination. It was instictive, that she knew what to do with her hands and how to mould the wind.
She began to twist the palms of her hands, before she felt cold hard things hit her. She opened her eyes, a dead look on her face as she looked down. Her clothes were dripping, and there was a small amount of snow gathered by her feet. "Um, take two?" she muttered feebly, looking rather embarrased as she faced Lorelai.

"Think fast eh? If ya say so Love," a voice came from behind Lorelai and in the next instance, Riker was behind Lorelai with his thumbs in the belt loop of her pants and pulling her against him. "Well, well, fancy seein' you here," Riker said in her ear with a laugh, leaning down to nuzzle her neck slightly. Riker was out on his usual morning run till he caught a scent he knew well and he followed his nose straight here to find Lorelai with the Paragon girl Tempest.
Riker moved his cold wind-blown face against her neck and moved one hand to tickle her stomach. "Ey there lovelies," he said looking up and giving Tempest a friendly wink. "Might I ask what two pretty wee lasses like yourselves are doing out here on this lovely morning? Not skippin' class I hope," Riker said with a laugh, still not letting go of Lorelai.

Lorelai laughed, "Aw it's okay, one second." Two more snowballs had formed in her hands and she nodded to Tia, about to throw them again before she heard the distinguishable Irish accent belonging to Riker. She bit her lip as he got her belt loops and pulled her against him and giggled at having her neck nuzzled. "Hey Riker," she said before giggling as he tickled her stomach, leaning more back into him as she tried to pull back from his hand. Over the time she let herself go along with his flirting, now that she had no reason to worry. Only when she was in combat classes or training would she not let him distract her, but other times he was welcome to do so and she let him.
"I was skating then Tia came outside, and now we're testing her out," Lorelai explained, her hands feeling empty now as she dropped the snowballs in her hands when she was being tickled. "Drama's not for us, and not for you either apparently," she said with a laugh of her own as she turned her head to look up at Riker. "Tia's trying to make a wind shield, want to help?" she asked, grinning at him and then looked at Tia. She knew she would probably clam up now that there was someone else there, especially Riker, but Lorelai would help loosen that girl up.

Tia nodded towards Lorelai, mentally preparing herself, seeing now she knew roughly how to form the sheild using her mind, she ought to be faster bout it. Lorelai was about to throw the next couple of snowballs at Tia, when another voice seemed to present itself. The Irish accent was only too easy to recognise, seeing Tia'd heard it time and again while she was around Lorelai. Riff-Raff the New Mutant, appeared behind Frosty, his hands at her waist, his face burried in her neck. Tia shot Lorelai a How d'you stand this? look, before she spotted the New Mutant pass her a friendly wink and speak.
"You make me nauseous," she muttered, voicing her thoughts out loud. Tia turned her head away from the two before she did actually become sick. She sighed, before Lorelai's voice echoed in her ears. "Tia's trying to make a wind shield, want to help?" What was Lorelai!? Crazy!? Tia's head snapped up to look at her, her eyes spread out wide. It took her half a minute to calm herself before she spoke again. "Um, no it's fine. Maybe some other day Fro- Lorelai. I'm.. uh, feeling tired." Tia's dead tone did all but give her away, but she still kept her stand, not really wanting to experiment with her powers with Riker around. She felt uncomfertable.

"Aw come now lass, don't run off now. I'm harmless, aren't I Lorelai?," Riker said with a smirk and moved one arm off her, but kept one on her hip so it rested there while he turned to the little Paragon lass. "I promise ya lass, I be the last one for ya to be shy around. 'Sides if I get too out of control, this one scratches me in that special spot by me ears. I be as harmless as a wee little babe then," he said with a chuckle. "Now come on what are we doing with powers now? She makin' you fly on your skateboard with her wind powers? Iceman would love that," Riker added with a grin.
"Hey, instead of practicing powers, fancy a game of football? Or soccer whatever you call it. There still be the ball there from yesterday when we played after dinner. And after the run I just got the urge for a good game. So what do ya say? I'm takin' this one," Riker lifted Lorelai up and over his shoulder, purely showing off. "What do you say Tia? You two against me, powers allowed?" he said with a smirk.
