What Good is a Crane?![Carter/Wan]

He stood transfixed watching her shift feet rapidly, keeping herself slightly suspended above the ground with each tiny movement, the air under her feet seemed to cushion and rotate ever so slightly as if an invisible force was repelling her from the earth but he knew better than that, or so he thought at least. Next she would ask him what this had to do with combat and he stood there stumped trying to think of the potential uses of this technique, if one used this as a kicking attack while keeping their other leg down it could act as a human cannon in a sense greatly magnifying the power of the caster beyond their physical limits but he felt that was the wrong answer here, it could also be used as a means of movement but he saw it wasn't practical already unless one was l versed in it. In fact Ulv's master control of the force she was taking from the ground beneath her and sending back to show case this ability was something he was certain was far beyond his control at his current level.

Think fool, what could this be used for. His eyes studied every movement no matter how small and insignificant, he needed to absorb this to come up with an answer to the question. Attacking, enhanced movement, vector control, absorption, they all swirled around in his head and he knew he was grasping at straws when he began to open his mouth but he felt he needed to answer the question to at least show her he was putting thought into this, "I don't think it's meant to be an attacking power out right but has the potential to be one, at my current state I don't think it's simply another way to get around a battle field, it would be impractical to use with the amount of focus it requires. I keep coming back to what you said over vector control and think there's something else to it, potentially another way to mitigate incoming hostile force. I won't lie to you, I am confused on this one." He offered while taking his shoes off, it made sense to him to practice this bare foot first and get used to it before trying to channel the energy through a material that wasn't the earth.

Okay, let’s try something simple, first lets picture the spiral in our feet. Ah there it is, okay now each two has its own smaller spiral that comes off of the larger one at the arch of my foot, oh this is hard. He thought while focusing, in his mind he would attempt to paint invisible channels for the energy beneath him to travel from one foot to the other. Feeling the flow of the force beneath him he flexed his left calf and immediately knew he was wrong, entirely to his core wrong as he shot twenty feet up into the air.

The next thing he knew he was staring at the sky, not really aware of what was happening as he was trying to force his lungs to take air back in. If he had cracked those ribs before, one of two of them were broken now he thought as he sat up, a small beading of sweat on his brow.

Hiding his embarrassment he would smile at Ulv before getting up with a wince, "Okay, let's try that one more time."
