Howl of the Sea [Vanyel, Sabre]

Well, she couldn't say she'd expected to get such a request from the man. Not at this juncture at the very least.

She understood very well the type of man that Vanyel was, but she had expected a confrontation of a different sort. Something more coinciding with an interaction with his boss Rita. Either directly before or after. A warning of some kind.

Which could only mean that this little rendezvous was about something else. The footsteps of the arrancar were surprisingly light. With her own innate feline grace, she slipped into the room with Vanyel and let her attention briefly shift towards the volume in his hands. Even from her perspective, she raised a brow as she parsed what little she could see from where she was standing.

Ah. So this was Academic in nature.

"You called?"

So she had been correct. Though perhaps in a more abstract way than she'd initially imagined. She had presumed maybe he had some questions about Hollows, but this was still interesting. "A case study. Hm." She tilted her head slightly to the side and let her hand rest on her hip as she took a moment to regard him. "I confess. I'm not one who enjoys showing off my abilities. I've always hated loud, obnoxious fools who show off what they can do. Hollows like that always brought trouble. I prefer not to use my abilities unless necessary." she noted quietly, closing her eyes for a moment as she leaned a bit to the side and let her arms fold under her chest as she ... considered.

"That said, I suppose with you being a close friend of Kenichi's. I guess I don't mind showing you things a little." She murmured. She was sure thatif Kenichi were here, he'd probably have plenty to say. Hm. Actually., Its possible that Kenichi probably already DID talk her up a bit. So trusting and loose lipped. She blushed. It was .... an adorable trait of his.

"Perhaps Kenichi has not told you as much as I imagined. My control over my abilities is very precise. As I said. I don't enjoy being too flashy. Inside would be perfectly safe. But if you would be more comfortable, it can suffice." She conceded simply. She wasn't going to begrudge him taking precautions, certainly. And so with a nod of her head, she gestured towards the door. "and as for arrancar. I'm afraid I can only provided limited insight, and what I've garnered from encountering them. I'm only a fresh Arrancar myself actually. I have Kenichi to thank for that. But I'll provide what I can."

She smiled just a bit wider at his reaction. "Less often than you would think. Learning an incorrect lesson is worse than learning nothing at all at times. Operating on incomplete information can mean winding up with a blade through your heart." She countered placidly. No real inclination. No chastizement, or fondness. It was a plain statement of fact, correcting him as he seemed to mull over her words and jot things down in that little notebook of his.

All the same, she followed him outside and watched as he set the book aside and even set up a bit of protection. He certainly was cautious. However,what he did next caused her head to cant to the side and furrow her brows ever so slightly as he provided instruction. Hit him? "Hm. An unwise manner of phrasing." She statd as she gently touched her fingertip to the pommel of her zanpaku'to. "I will need to ressurect in order to manipulate water. I'm afraid that since becoming an arrancar, my powers are restricted in the casual sense of things. So do pardon me for a moment." She hummed.

"Aplasta." She recited, as carapace spread around her head, forming more of her mask, one half of her sabertooth's skull forming ontop of the horns on her head, as well as armor running down the length of her spine. But most notably: A black cloak, a reminder of her status once as a gillian.

The release was subtle. Quiet. Though he would most certainly be able to feel the sudden swell of her spiritual energy. It wasn't violent or explosive. It prowled into one's senses instead, as if to sneak up on you.

The air gleamed, a thin strande of water, almost too thin to even catch in the air, lashed out between the two of them. A thin whip of fluid that snapped out and cracked down the front of Vanyel's frame, the sudden crack of that whip aiming to slide down the front of his chest, and cutting through his shirt. It would sting, incredibly so, but she tempered the force such that it would not leave any sort of lasting mark. But most notably, the attack was carried out without a motion on her part. It was incredibly fast and sudden. Certainly something most found alarming coming from a woman of Sabre's size.

"Is there anything in particular you are wanting? An attack thats fast? Strong? Complex? Or are you wanting information about how the power effects me?" She ventured, peering at him through the eyes of her mask.

She paused for a moment and canted her head slightly towards Vanyel as he listed what it was he actually was looking for. Altering the properties of the water? She furrowed her brows slightly behind her mask. But as he went on, his explanation made a bit more sense. "And how would this benefit you?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head as she regarded vanyel. "Truth be told. I had expected this to be some sort of spar. Experiencing something firsthand is often a better way to understand something. But this ...laundry list of aspects you've come up with.... just how is it that you expect to learn more about this? And you do understand that some of the things I show you will be things you're outright entirely incapable of , yes?" She ventured with a tilt of her head. Simply because two individuals had fire as their abilities, did not mean they would have the same capabilities.

She paused for a moment and crouched slightly, to get on his level.

"Why don't you tell me what it is you've managed to do on your own, and then we can work from there?"

Sabre raised a brow slightly and canted her head a bit to the side as he seemed to go with her own suggestions. But even so, she was beginning to wonder exactly why this was taking place. What was he just making a list of powers he was trying to emulate? A sigh escaped her as she reached up and rubbed at her eyes, she truly didn't understand humans sometimes. All the same, her body flickered as he fired that beam, promptly darting to the side without even opening her eyes as he fired that blast at her, allowing it to slam into something else in the place.

"I'm beginning to think that perhaps I'm not someone suitable to teach you about this. If thats how your power is manifesting, then we have two very different abilities. Theres quite a bit of difference between manipulating water and producing energy that behaves like water." She murmured with furrowed brows. It truly was a ... bizarre power. Sure, she'd seen things like it. Usually not with water though. Fire. Loghtning. Those were elements more energy based anyway.

But Energy water? A hybrid between energy and water seemed.... odd. "Your applications seem more like spells than a hollow's ability. Have you considered seeking out a shinigami?"
