Giselle noticed the tear but she didn't comment on it, having not expected to have a willing student all of a sudden.  Still, it was a nice change from the usual reaction she got just from showing her face when she was still making a good name for herself.  She nodded and quickly finished the simple shields on Emma's fingers before smiling up at the girl, brushing the tear out of her eye without thinking about it.  Giselle had kept her back to Emma for the most part, so the metal stud in her bellybutton wasn't revealed until then when she stood up a bit to lock eyes with the girl before her.  It was a product of her more...wild side when she was growing up.  She hadn't had the heart to remove it after she found it the next morning after a bit of a wild party the night before, after a successful orc hunt, resulting in every marauding greenskin being slain by her and her then companions.  "Hey, it's ok.  You don't have to promise anything like that.  All that I ask is that you do the best you can and we'll go as fast or slow as you require.  We'll start with this so you can do it whenever you wish, alright?"<br/><br/>It was true that magic was just as dangerous as science was if it was in the wrong hands, but Giselle had learned control long ago, as well as the necessary discipline to use it when it was appropriate or necessary, as had her brother Seth, David lacking that particular talent of theirs for the most part.  She didn't believe people were BORN with magical ability, although that did help to a degree.  No, she believed anyone could do so with enough practice and dedication.  She was going to prove that theory now....she hoped.  Walking her through the simple gesture she had employed on her claws, Giselle told the girl the command word aloud, having been able to cast it herself by just thinking of the same word.  "You can use spells with a verbal command by simply thinking it given enough practice, but it requires a good deal of concentration.  For now, try it out on a finger of your choice.  I'll break the enchantment and you can practice it until you get it or you give up for the night."  She actually didn't wait for a reply, and simply picked a finger at random on Emma's right hand, the middle one to be precise.  Now was the time to see if this would work.  "If it works, you might feel a little more tired since this is your first spell casting.  I've used so much magic over my life that I didn't feel a thing myself.  If I were to use a bunch of medium level spells or something though, then I'd be feeling the strain."
