Holding Jaku tight against her, Kellus relaxes, cradling her softly until she leans back again.  Listening to her, Kellus' mind quickly flickers back across the events of the past few weeks, reliving the decisions that led her to such a drastic change in her life and circumstances.  Coming back to the present, she knows that even if she were given the opportunity, her choices wouldn't have changed at all.  Looking down as Jaku cradles her shaft almost delicately, she just smiles.  Leaning forward, she slips her lower set of arms down Jaku's back before pulling them together until her entire length is resting within Jaku.<br/><br/>Drawing back slowly before pressing forward again, she begins to stroke in and out with an easy rhythm.  Compared to earlier, however, there doesn't seem to be any sense of urgency in her motions.  "Well, if our time in here is getting limited, I may as well take advantage of it while I can and show you something new in the process..."  Trailing off, a subtle feeling of warmth begins to come off her, passing into Jaku wherever they touch.  "Now that you've been properly attuned, so to speak, you should be able to feel that."  As she speaks, the feeling seems to define itself, eventually resolving into a sensation similar to what Jaku felt earlier.  "What you're feeling is the edges of my soul.  Right now, you'll only be able to feel what you're physically touching, but that will change with time and practice.  Now, when I do<span style="font-style: italic">this</span>..."  A sudden burst of sensation washes between the two as what looks like a glowing after-image of Kellus detaches from her body.  Leaning further forward, it tugs slightly on Jaku's body, a similar image sliding free, along with an odd sense of detachment.  "This is what it feels like to be touching someone's soul directly.  At this point you can do many different things; heal injuries...or claim their soul for your own."  Releasing her, both of their images pull back to their respective bodies, a tingling washing over both of them as their souls return.  Resuming her gentle thrusts, Kellus gradually begins to speed up, all while keeping Jaku held close.  "As I said, it's something that will take time to fully learn and master, but I'm confident that you'll get it.  You already have the ability to manipulate another's soul, you just need to learn how to pull it free of whatever it lies within."<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Taken aback by Arkain's outburst, Azlant dips his head in apology.<span style="font-style: italic">"I meant no disrespect.  I just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't make a fatal mistake.  Water and wind furies are notoriously fickle and mercurial, as befits their nature, and those traits are only magnified when they're feral and uncontrolled.  With the number that are still in the area, accidentally angering even a few could whip the storm back to its former state."</span>Turning as he moves off toward the bridge, he thinks about what Arkain said about needing to adapt.<span style="font-style: italic">"Oh, we can adapt to just about anything.  We've had to just to survive."</span><br/><br/>Looking back out over the ocean, he takes off, slowly circling the ship.<span style="font-style: italic">"Just because I don't have Kellus' raw power doesn't mean I can't help, though.  I've got some tricks that even he can't do without me."</span>As he circles around, the golden glow that Azlant gives off naturally starts to linger behind him, eventually forming a long streamer flowing behind him.  Wheeling around and gaining altitude, he punches through the cloud line, descending down below it for a few seconds before darting back up.  Where he passes through, the clouds start to lighten and clear, eventually forming a path of sorts out of the area still covered by the storm clouds.  Speaking to the captain and Arkain as before, his voice seems to emanate from somewhere nearby, but from no particular source.<span style="font-style: italic">"I'll clear you as much of a path out as I can.  I won't be able to halt the storm completely, and I daren't go below the waves, but I'll keep this up for as long as I can."</span>
