June 1 | Hall of Glory

[ SLEEPING BEAUTY AWAKES...

Feeling kinda shitty. Yoon has no idea when he ended up in his bed or how long he's slept, but he feels stiff and groggy and still-drained even as he drags himself out from under the covers. The last things he remembers are foggy. Was he sick? Did he train too hard and pass out from mana exhaustion?

Eventually, Yoon gets up and manages to get dressed -- casual pants, a loose tunic and scarf -- and wanders slowly over toward the Queen hall where his friends live to see if anyone is around.

Maybe he comes knocking on the door, or maybe he runs into someone before he even gets there?? It is a mystery. ]

June 3 | Closed to Sion:

[ Just because he somehow managed to pass out for a couple of weeks for no reason (creepy?!) is no reason to slack off on his training. In fact, now Yoon feels like he has even more catching up to do. He'd called Sion shortly after waking up to apologize for being unable to keep up with his training, and on Sion's insistence that Yoon get some good rest first, they'd arranged for a meeting a few days later.

Thus far, they've been at it for a while already, practicing in an open clearing outside of the capital, on the outskirts of the scattered villages that border it. The weather is pleasant today, sunny without being too hot, and the meadow is in bloom, painted with wildflowers.

Yoon kneels in the grass, notebook in his lap awaiting instruction. Sion said they might start on some new concepts today if he's ready. ]

It can certainly be helpful to call upon, particularly in a pinch.

[ H'oh? What's this? Yoon seems to be made all the more alert by his touch, the poke which had been meant to set him at ease with an element of good fun and familiarity both. Is it possible, to be overly dedicated as a student? Yes indeed, and Yoon seems to take to an extreme...!

An extreme which Sion finds himself quickly growing fond of. ]

I will confess to being interested, though, in what you would say to invoke the mana in the ground just beneath your fingertips.

[ With a light sigh, Sion shifts his position, sitting lotus-legged upon the grass. ]

Will you make the attempt for me?

[tsyoon]

Gah- That's what I'm not sure about! [ He grumbles, turning his attention to the earth beneath him again with a small, thoughtful scowl. ]

Ask it politely, maybe?

[ A laugh, a bit sheepish. He wants to make the attempt, as suggested, but what should he say...? Yoon puts his hands in the grass again, feeling a little awkward. He doesn't feel the energy the same way he'd felt it when Sion called upon it earlier, but he'll try to find it on his own, closing his eyes and focusing.

His invocation is not particularly elegant, something mumbled about asking the earth to lend him strength as he tries to tap into the warm hum of energy he can start to understand just beneath his palms. ]

[sunderings]

Ask with your heart, Yoon. [ Though asking politely is as good a place as any to start. ] Think on how you would use the earth's mana to aid all those who cherish it and call it home, and it will answer you.

[ Sion has faith in that. Yoon is dedicated, his will to heal others earnest, and the energy which the younger man brings to the equation (like a clear mountain's stream, his student is brisk and transparent, cleansing in a way Sion does not think Yoon realizes) is certain to beget a response, regardless of what form it takes.

Weak or strong, there is still the thrum of resonating energy in the earth beneath them, and when it rises next to course through the meadowland, it will be because of Yoon and his own choice of invocation.

(The words his student has chosen, they do not fail to make the King smile. Despite himself, he is proud.) ]
