"Y-Yeah... Thanks." *Ellaine would tell Kyuu as her head tilted away from her magical aura. She was feeling dejected right now and she really wanted to say something to Kyuu but she didn't want her to worry, the words the woman said to her she didn't really believe any of it. In her mind she thought that it was one of those things like when people tell her how amazed and proud they are when they find out that she's a blind person and that she's so brave for living normally. It felt so empty, what was she to do now? Should she really just give up and not bother? What was she to do...*
Michelle
*Mizu,for better or worse, did not have the ability to read minds. Thus all she could perceive was Ellaine offering a meager half-hearted thanks. Of course it didn't take a genius to realize her words didn't help her at all, but there wasn't really anything else Mizu could offer. She would look over to the tree that Ellaine made a dent in then back to Ellaine*

"You think you can go for another round after your break or should we head back? As I said earlier, there is no need to rush this sort of thing"
Ila
"L-Lets... Head back. I-Is that okay? I thi-th-think I had enough training f-for one day." *Ellaine said as she stood up and began putting her potion belt back on her hips and the bag back across her chest. To her magic is really the only thing she's got and her master made her think that she's a prodigy when it comes to casting magic since many of the people she knows weren't magic casters. She thought she was special and great... Now finding out that there was a spell that she wasn't able to successfully do in a few tries it really hurt her ego. If she's not good with magic then what is she good at? She's not good at fighting that's obvious, neither is she good at doing chores like cooking, art is off the table... This spell.*
Michelle
"Alright, sounds good to me." *Mizu would then help Ellaine pack up her things. She wished she could do more for the macen, but self-improvement comes from one's self. If her determination waned this quickly from struggling a bit, then it wasn't likely she really determined about the task in the first place. It was unfortunate, but Mizu knew better than to meddle in the life of others. If Ellaine ever wanted to pick up the training again Mizu was more than willing to help, and even if she didn't Mizu was still willing to keep her company.*

"Do you have a specific soup shop in mind when we head back, or will any work for you?"
Ila
"A-Any... Any would do. I feel like so-s-oup would really help right now." *She'd have a feel around on the base of the tree alittle bit more grabbing her cane tightly as soon as she felt it before looking back to where the two of them came from. Back to New Salvainia, soup sounded like a very nice comfort food to eat after this horrible day of training, maybe in the future she'd try again but perhaps not now she was still too fragile for this kind of thing* "I guess I'll still be useless." *Patiently she'd wait for Kyuu to lead the walk back knowing that while she trusted her memory to go back its best if she let someone with sight take the charge*
Michelle
*Mizu would give a slight scowl at Ellaine calling herself useless and use her fingernail to lightly flick Ellaine's forehead.*

"What did I say about putting yourself down? Just cus you are failing to do one thing doesn't mean you are useless. Be proud of the things you can do instead of focusing on what you currently can't. You learned to deal some damage with your spell today, something you weren't able to do a couple days ago. With enough time and practice I'm confident you will master the spell. So just believe in yourself ok? Or if you can't believe in yourself, believe in me who believes in you."
Ila
"B-But you said it yourself! A-All I did was a small dent... How long do I have t-to practice to be good at this? How long do I have to practice to actually be able to do something that's not just a dent into some wood? How can I believe in myself if what I have to believe in is a dent? How can you believe in that dent?" *She gritted her teeth tightly while clenching both her fists. She was really trying to hold back her tears right now, it might not seem like it but Ellaine actually did care alot about the whole thing* "M-Miss Kyuu... When I-I practiced healing magic I was able to pick it up as soon as I was sh-shown it. I was called a-amazing at magic, that I was s-s-special... I was a prodigy at it. But now that I'm not able to do this, it h-hurts... It hurts alot cause if t-this isn't what I-I'm good at then what am I good at? How can I believe myself now? I'm not amazing. I'm not special. I'm not a prodigy." *Ellaine rubbed her sweaty forehead a small glow coming from her hand as she had healed the minor flick. Her voice quivered slightly while she spoke. This hurt*
Michelle
*Mizu would simply listen to Ellaine ramble on and let out a sigh. The poor girl put such high expectations on herself to the point it was actually humorous. Perhaps what she was going to say next wasn't very nice, but in Mizu's perspective the timid macen needed a wake up call.*

"I can believe in a small dent cus action speak louder than words, and a small dent is better than no dent. This might surprise you, but to me you have never been a prodigy. You were never special. You are simply a blind macen, one who I enjoy the company of, but you are otherwise unspectacular. However..." *Mizu says while leaning forward so she could look at Ellaine at eye level*

"...You don't need to be special to be useful. There are hundreds of healers that are as good if not better than you, but the woman you saved on that quest didn't care if you were talented in healing or not. The only thing that mattered was that you were capable of healing her. Isn't that why you are learning offensive magic? So that you can protect people instead of being protected? You don't need to be good at magic to do those things, you simply need to be capable." 

*Mizu would then straighten her back once more and smile at Ellaine* 
"And that's why I believe in you. The Ellaine I know despite not being a prodigy at swimming still swam. The Ellaine I know despite being being blind was capable of leaping across floating platforms. The Ellaine I know despite not being a talented caretaker she is still loved and relied upon by everyone in the orphanage. The Ellaine I know is capable, not talented. And that's why I believe you will be capable of completing this task also."
