Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well it is true that it does not directly translate into metal, I have seem it done where the ground itself was altered to a metallic state. Not exactly like the metal we use to forge weapons, but not much different either. Metal is made from aging earth. I suppose the question I should have asked is, can you speed up its condensing process to create such things that would be as close to metal as we could get without actually forging it ourselves from the various stones we find in the ground. I personally find the transitions of earths many forms quite intriguing and wish I could do something similar, though I cannot."
Lio had gone ranting again. He did not flinch as the cylinder disappeared. He watched it with interest. He had hoped she could create metal out of the ground. Having an ally with such a power would make Lio immensely more powerful as a lightning user.

"I have always found that hiding ones true potential was the greatest power one can wield. Show them the smallest extent of your power, and they shall never question how great you can become."
Lio shrugged as he spoke. He rarely used his full power. In his entire lifetime he had done so maybe once. Long before he learned to truly control it, long before he knew what he really was.

Kara chuckled. "I make her stay because she's mine now. It's as simple as that. And talking about stopping me... like you could. You have parlor tricks. I could set every inch of you on fire and not stop burning you until you're dust." She stretched her frame out. "But I won't, unless you get in my way or do something incredibly stupid, like use your powers indiscriminately. Unlike others who were around this table, I don't want to be killed by an angry mob."

Kara just shook her head. "What is this psychologist bullshit? I'm not hurting. I used to, and then I burned three people alive and destroyed half a cemetery in Prague. Now I feel fine. Better than fine, actually. Wonderful." Her eyes flickered up and down the witch. "Although, if you'd like to do some naked things, I'm sure I would feel better."

"But people will always question how powerful one can be. Even you wanted to know if Giovanna could do more than what she showed." Why would he have been following me then? Enyo wondered to herself, her eyes questioning and searching Lio carefully for any answer to her millions of questions.

Enyo crossed her legs on her chair to sit Indian style, and rested her elbows on her knees and her chin on her hands and looked up at Lio. "So she's a tool." She said simply. She felt no need to explain why she thought this, his wordy explanations gave it away that he had just as many -if not more!- thoughts going through his head as she did, so he ought to understand.
Enyo's eyes were bright, her face open and cheery, even though it was kind of a horrible thought to think of people as simply tools.
"Giovanna," Enyo said quietly after a moments hesitation, "I do believe we found someone to help you... escape from that woman." Her eyes barely left Lio, she was fairly intrigued by the man.

[I do have a question, Mal, is Lio still wearing the scarf over his eyes? Knowing the character I would guess yes, but no one else seems to have mentioned it. XD]

Giovanna tilted her head at the conversation of her true power. She didn't truly know herself, for she feared using her power to it's full extent could end in catastrophe. When you can manipulate the earth, who's to say you couldn't push all the continents underwater, that you couldn't cause an earthquake that splits the world, that you couldn't command the planet out of it's orbit? She didn't dare attempt anything more than simple stone constructs. "Uhm, Gio is just fine...." She sipped her drink, and listened carefully to the whispers of the earth.
