Fraener was surprised.<span style="font-style: italic">How did you do that?</span>he asked her, sending her his thoughts and feelings. He sent her a mixture of confusion, curiosity, jealousy, and an urge to learn.<span style="font-style: italic">You'll have to show me that in the morning. For now, I guess we should get some sleep.</span>He curled up and Aetheiria kept teasing him with that fire trick, lightly licking him with the flames.<span style="font-style: italic">Cut it out missy!</span>he scolded. He huffed and shot out dark smoke from his nostrils. She giggled and shot out one more flame, then stopped and quickly fell asleep. Fraener followed soon after.<br/><br/>He awoke several hours later with the sun just rising with Aetheiria was roughly nuzzling him awake, pushing him with her muzzle.<span style="font-style: italic">You wanted to practice, lets practice.</span>Fraener was annoyed at being woken up so early.<span style="font-style: italic">Come on, just 3 more hours.</span>he whined. "No Fraener. You wanted to train, we're going to train." she said out loud. Fraener groggily stood up and shook himself awake.<span style="font-style: italic">Ok ok. Let's do this.</span>They flew to a nearby mountain top, so as to not set the forest aflame if they made a mistake. There was an outcropping of relatively flat land near the peak, where they decided to land, seeing as there was plenty of open space, and it was only rock. They spent the next 5 hours training with their fire breath. Aetheiria showed him how to control his flame and use his tongue to direct it with more precision. Fraener showed her how to summon an inner power to blow a more powerful blast. They both eventually mastered each other's skill, working in collusion to weave and slither each others flames around and in between each other. And by time they were done, Aetheiria could blow a flame as big and as almost as powerful as Fraener could. They were worn out after all of this exertion, so they went hunting and quickly caught and ate some game.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Alright this has been an excellant morning! Now, can you teach me that change with clothes thingy you can do? I wanna relax and learn something easy.</span>Fraener asked. Aetheiria chuckled and smiled a toothy smile.<span style="font-style: italic">Oh believe me, it won't be easy...</span>
