Jazz couldn't help but smirk a bit at Lucien's blush. Heh, he'd just been describing what he was seeing. It wasn't that big of a deal, was it? Well... Maybe it was if Lucien's reaction was anything to say about it. The next few questions had Jazz stopping and trying to think about what Auntie had taught him. She... had tried to show him how to read aura, briefly? It had just been so much that Jazz had gotten a bit overwhelmed with it all. "Well... kind of? Yours is hard to see at times. I can tell my family's a lot easier. Auntie tried to get me to try and read it but it was a little overwhelming I guess,"Jazz explained briefly, shrugging his shoulders some, "She had to go back to Alola before teaching me more though. Iunno what projecting is yet I guess. But I can kinda read aura? I guess?" he continued, not entirely sure if he was helping at all. Everyone had to start somewhere though... right? Yeah.

Huh….hmmmmmmm. Lucien made a ‘one sec’ gesture before skipping back over to Viola’s house, opening the front door, disappearing inside for about a minute, before coming back with a Pokeball in hand. “Rio, ‘elp me out ‘ere,” he spoke before releasing the Pokeball. The Riolu that formed looked up and around before tilting his head again.
“Dis’s Jazz, Jazz dis’s Rio” he introduced. “Riolu ‘n Lucario ahr known fer their sensitivity to ‘n use ‘f aura.” He grinned a bit, and the Riolu perked up some striking a pose as if to show this off. “Der also great teachers.” Well, maybe not the best considering Rio was so young, but they were both students of aura at the moment in that regard heh. “Rio ya wanna back up ah step?” Lucien asked. The Riolu grasped what he meant and gave a nod, bounding back more than a couple of steps and coming to stop only once he’d reached the tree line. “Try sensin’ iz aura from whar ya ahr ‘n tell me whatcha see.”

When Lucien didn't answer right away and then ran back into the house, Jazz didn't know exactly what to think. Was he that much of a lost cause? Or did Lucien need to get something to illustrate or... Oh. The Riolu actually made sense and now Jazz was kicking himself for not thinking of practice with his own Riolu. Hadn't Auntie used a Lucario when trying to teach him? Yeah... it would be good to try that when he got home. Maybe he could even work on training with them while he was at it. As Rio was introduced, Jazz smirked and nodded in greeting, chuckling softly as the Riolu proceeded to show off. "Nice to meetya~,"Jazz mused, not entirely sure what bringing out the Riolu would do. He was about to ask when the Riolu bounded back quite a ways away. Enough that it was hard to see the aura around them, heh. Then when Lucien suggested he try and sense the Riolu's aura, he couldn't help but smirk a bit. Figures. Closing his eyes, Jazz tried to focus on sensing the aura of the Riolu. The Espurr weren't really helping in that regard but oh well. Right, he just had to focus on the Riolu. Focus. A deep breath would be taken before he opened his eyes again. It was still a little hard to see but the Riolu's aura was there. "I see eht. 's bright 'n a bit wild. Umm, eager, I guess? 's a lot of blues and purples, some...gold?"Jazz murmured, still focused on trying to read the aura, "Nawt sure what the colors mean though," he continued, shrugging a bit.

Lucien too closed his eyes sensing the world around him in a deep intrinsic clarity. When he wasn’t focusing, only large aura caught his attention: that of persons and Pokemon. However, when he took a moment to center himself and stretch his mind’s eye out of his own accord, he was aware of all the life around him: the wisps of breath the blades of grass took, the flow of life through the trees. He was aware of the markings of life that had carved Jazz’s path to Viola’s home. Yes, all these things were very, very clear to him. Oh yeah, and Rio’s aura of course, heh.
As Jazz spoke again, however, Lucien’s gaze flickered open. “Yeah tha swirl patterns often mean excitement or intrigue or thoughtfulness…” he explained resting his arms back behind his head. “Tha firey shapes at tha bottom ‘r more ‘f iz regular aura— a burning desire. But ah…” He looked sideways focusing on Rio’s aura again. He guessed he could see how that would become blue, but his own Aura Sight picked out a myriad of other colors all shifting around in slightly different ways. Maybe a better example was little pieces of a puzzle that could be backed up and seen as a single image from a distance, heh.
Looking back at Jazz, Lucien grinned a bit. “Ya see some ‘f et…” he mumbled a bit to himself ruffling fingers through his hair. “But nawt all ‘f et… when’d ya say ya awoke ta Sight again?”

The more Jazz focused on Rio's aura, the more he seemed to see. There were layers of color that he was only just beginning to see now that he was actively focused on the Riolu. Huh. Was it like that all the time? Lucien's brief explanation about the swirl patterns helped quite a bit. So that's what the flames meant. He hadn't been too far off with eagerness then, had he? It was just quite a bit more than being eager. Rio wanted to grow and learn and... heh it was cute really. The question posed of him had Jazz leaning his head back a bit, staring at the sky as he tried to think of when Auntie had left. "Ummm, 'bout 2 weeks? Give or take?" Jazz stated after a few moments, looking back at Lucien after a bit, "Course, about half that time 's been off cuz the bright aura colors gimme a headache. Sometimes 's easier to see without it on all the time. I turned it back on when I was practicing but... I can't seem to turn it off like I used to 'n 's harder to get used to, I guess," he continued, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

Two weeks? Damn. That was hella recent. Half the time it’s been off cause of the bright colors— heh. A small nod was given at that. Lucien personally couldn’t understand but he could imagine it well enough.
But I can’t seem to turn it off like I used to. What did… what did that mean, exactly? Lucien’s brows furrowed together, and he wondered very briefly if it had something to do with his growth in power or what. Lucien had only learned to turn his sight off in the last year or so, but he was born with it. It was a part of him. For Jazz to not be able to…??? He had no idea what that meant, heh.
“Tha way I turn ‘t off ‘s like… closing mah eyes kinda… mah mind’s eye… Ah c’n see an image ‘n my head ‘n just close et,” he explained. “Though ah dunno ‘f that’s tha same fer everyone or what…”

After admitting that he couldn't seem to turn off his aura sight, Jazz couldn't help but wonder why Lucien looked at him like that. Well, he partially knew the cause of it was because of what had happened between him and Luke but... why would that affect his aura sight? Ehh, he was still learning how to control it so maybe his emotional state had an impact on how well he could control his aura. Sigh there were so many things he still didn't know. Why Viola had to leave right when he got there was beyond him but oh well. Apparently she had better things to do than teach him. Lucien's explanation sounded so much easier than how Oriana had put it? If that's all it took then... well, that might actually be doable. "That's all? Auntie made it sound so much more difficult I guess. Maybe the way she phrased it. She told me to turn meh gaze inward? Kinda pull the aura back in? Closing an eye 'r shuttin' a window sounds a lot easier. Might have to try 't later though. 't takes me a bit to focus 'nuf to turn it back on. Paranoia sucks,"Jazz explained, smirking a bit. "But ya said aura could do stuff? What kinda things? Maybe I could figure out what I wanna do with it then." It was something to start with at any rate. Of course, Jazz was still a novice when it came to actually being able to see all the parts of aura. Maybe it would be better if he left it on and tried to get used to it. At least for a little while.

Lucien shrugged his shoulders. He knew a lot of aura training came from finding useful allusions to other things since aura itself was weird and hard to describe. He might have suggested Jazz try that now had not the last statement caught him. Paranoia sucks— Oh. Oh, that did suck 8C. He wondered if he could help alleviate it some, maybe? But Jazz was going on, so he let it go for now.
The series of questions had him grinning a bit weaker. “Der’s a lotta things ya c’n do wit’ aura ‘ncluding reading emotions, tracking, projection ‘f aura ‘nta reality, ‘n reinforcement.” He paused a moment, flashing a small, weak grin. “Ah c’n do a lotta those ‘cept fer projection … Ah learned reinforcement ‘nstead.” Closing his eyes, he condensed aura around his forearm. To Jazz’s eyes the flow of his aura would physically change packing down and solidifying over his arm. Even without aura sight, the green almost flame-like power would generate over his skin.
At least for a moment. “Ah yeh der’s also Aura Channeling witch’z somethin’ like controllin’ the flow of feelin’s.”

Jazz listened as Lucien explained a bit of what aura could do. There was... quite a lot, wasn't there. Reading emotions? Yeah, he could see that and perhaps tracking to some degree but projection and reinforcement? What exactly did that entail? Green eyes grew as Lucien stated that he could do all of them... well, almost all but that was still pretty sweet. The way the aura shifted to condense around his arm wasn't missed by Jazz. Nor would the way the flames seemed to generate over his skin. Wait, was that just because of his aura sight or was it something else? Whatever it was, it was awesome. Grinning at the sight of it, Jazz was about to say something about it when Lucien mentioned aura channeling. Huh, there was a lot that aura could do. That just left the question of what he wanted to do with it. From the looks of it, aura reinforcement looked really cool. Maybe he could try for that? Well... once he got a handle on aura sight that is. Jazz wanted to try if Lucien's trick to turning off aura sight worked better but... last time Kovu had to lay on him to get him to relax and turn it back on. Perhaps it was hard for someone born with aura to understand but it didn't seem to come near as naturally to Jazz. "That's so cool~!"Jazz chimed, "I didn't know aura could do all of that. Err, maybe Auntie talked about it at some point before, but I didn't really listen then cuz I never thought I'd even have aura. Maybe I could learn reinforcement after I have a handle on my aura sight," he continued. Well, part of the reason Jazz said that could be because Lucien demonstrated how cool it was but... ehhh, he still had yet to figure out what he really wanted to do. He still had a bit to learn about aura sight regardless.

A wild brightness flashed in Lucien’s eyes as Jazz commented on how awesome aura was. “Hell yeah ‘t ez!” he replied warmly before giving a small nod. “ ‘Nd… ah know whatcha mean,” he said a bit slower. “F ya didn’t have et why learn ‘bout it. Kinda like chemistry.” he rolled his eyes hoping and praying to Arceus that he could just pass his finals in that class and be done in it for good. He… probably could have just transferred schools and/or found a short year trainer school that would probably have been easier, but he was already committed to finishing, so here he was.
“Buuuut ‘f ya wanna train wit’ me s’mtime that’d be great,” he emphasized, flashing a grin. “A ‘aven’t had a trainin’ buddy ‘n a while.” If ever? If ever, heh. Reaching a hand back, he curled a couple of hairs behind his ears and smiled a bit softer. “Ya wanna come ‘nside maybeh? A c’n make some hot chocolate at least.” He was kind of getting tired of standing, and who knew when Viola would be back so yeah.

Jazz grinned when Lucien agreed with him though he couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the chemistry quip. "Awww, c'mon~. Science 's cool! Ya kind do a lotta stuff wid 't." Well, science wasn't for everyone, Jazz knew that much. Maybe it was like how English was for him. He still didn't understand how writing poetry would do any good whatsoever but oh well. It's not like he was going to use that useless knowledge anytime soon. Still, the offer to train with Lucien had him brightening considerably. "Really? Sweet, of course I wanna!"Jazz exclaimed excitedly and would have said something more when he heard the offer for hot chocolate. That did sound good actually, it was a little chilly outside after all. "Sure~, hot chocolate sounds good. It'll be easier to keep the Espurr coralled too." At least in theory. Kovu's Magnet Rise had worn off by this time, so it was a bit easier for him to go inside too. Course considering the Luxray was a bit smaller than average, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Lucien snorted but wouldn’t say what he wanted to say about Chemistry in particular. Jazz seemed to like it so whatever, right? He knew enough science to get through as a Breeder, and that was all he needed at the end of the day anyways, heh.
As Jazz’s aura brightened a bit at his proposition, however, Lucien grinned a bit. Heh, hopefully they could both also lean on Viola whenever she was around to help too. Wonder what she was up to considering she left in such a hurry. Anywho. A small hand gesture was given, and Lucien started over towards Viola’s house. Jazz’s commentary on the Espurr had him briefly glancing around to them, and a small snicker escaped into the air. “Der cat’s, ya can’t corral ‘em fer nothin’,” he answered with a small shrug.
Stepping into the kitchen, Lucien grabbed two mugs from the cabinet and a measuring cup. Filling the measuring cup with water from the sink, he went over to the microwave and started punching in numbers. “S’e doesn’t ‘ave ah kettle ‘ut dis works jus’ fine,” he explained briefly before starting up the microwave with the water in it. Turning back to the mugs, he began to go through cabinets carefully before pulling down two packets of instant chocolate. “No faceeh stuff ‘ut dis works jus' fine,” he grinned winking at Jazz.

The comment on not being able to corral the Espurr had Jazz snickering a bit. Yeah, he had a point there. Sometimes even Kovu didn't want to listen to him and well, he was a cat after all. "Yeah, yer right 'bout that,"Jazz replied easily before following Lucien intoViola's house which... wasn't exactly what he was expecting. It was quaint, but homey at the same time and well, considering Viola seemed like a hermit, he expected the house to be more than a little run down. Huh, it was pretty nice in here wasn't it? Cozy and hot chocolate should warm them up nicely. Lucien's explanation had Jazz smirking a bit, shrugging his shoulders, "Don't need nuthin' fancy. Unless ya count cinnamon. 's good 'n cocoa if ya liek dat sorta thing,"Jazz commented, grinning a bit as Lucien winked. No, his features did not just warm a little at that. It was just the lighting, yeah, that was exactly it.

Cinnamon? Lucien’s lips quirked a bit at Jazz’s words, and his eyebrow raised slightly. That was what he considered fancy? Heh, well, Lucien had had a bit more experience with fancy, but he wasn’t about to get into that. Instead, as the water beeped, he wandered back over to the microwave, popped it open, and grabbed the measuring cup.
Ripping open a package and dumping its contents into the cup, he’d then poured the hot water on top. Fishing up a chop stick from a canister on the counter, he stirred it briefly before handing it over to Jazz and fixing his own up. “Ah like hawt chocolate ‘ny which way,” he admitted with a soft chuckle. “Jus’ so long az ets gawt dat signature flavor.” As if to prove his point, he took a slow sip and allowed a low breath to escape from himself. “Jus like dat.”
Shifting a little to rest his hips and back on the counter, Lucien half smiled. “So whatcha do fer fun?” he asked nonchalantly.

Jazz was glad that Lucien hadn't seemed to notice his blush, or if he had, didn't comment on it at least. That or the microwave had distracted him enough that he didn't see it, whichever. As Lucien fixed the hot chocolate, Jazz smirked a bit at his next words. Yeah, that made sense. He wasn't really picky either, but there were a lot of different flavors of hot chocolate but perhaps the 'fanciest' he'd ever had was cinnamon in it. Ehh, oh well. Taking the offered hot chocolate, Jazz took a sip and sighed. Yeah, that hit the spot. " 's gewd~," Jazz mused, smirking a bit when he heard the question, "Tons o' stuff. Climbing, hiking, swimmin'... Yunno I work on Sinclair's engine. Dat's purty fun too, e'en if 's a job. But I like jis, goin' out dere and doin' summin. 's kinda hard fer me to sit still 'r concentrate 'n stuff fer long cuz of dat I guess. Wat 'bout you?"
