At the prompt to water it Niso looked back to the two jugs of water he’d brought beside a watering can. And by jugs we’re talking the stuff you put on an officer water fountain. He could probably leave them here with Golisopod to mind save him and Karlak hauling any more out for a few days, would give Golisopod something to drink and water the plants with while he was away too. 『Sure, sure』He’d plant a few more before moving to fill the watering can with one of the jugs, struggling with the weight for just a moment before it started to empty, eyes flicking back to Lucien at what came next.
『Oh...erm...』 He needed to think about that for a second, it would certainly help but at the same time, to even get an idea of what to tell Lucien and how to teach him, he’d need to give himself a refresher and...he didn’t wanna do that so close to the plants before they’d even begun to grow. 『Sure sure just...over here.』He handed the filled can to his pokemon who too it in both claws to water the plants, gesturing for Lucien to follow, making sure he would before starting a soft jog to get a fair distance away from the planting spot.

As Niso moved to fill one of the watering cans, Lucien would wait before shifting the jug and filling another. He was a little more capable of moving it and had it down more comfortably. Hm, though? What was with that face? As Niso handed over his can to his Pokemon, Lucien blinked a little but handed his own over to Hiu. The Menganium was quick to take it into his mouth and start pouring it carefully as he saw fit. Lucien, meanwhile, followed after Niso. Hmmm?? Where were they going? Lucien found his gaze flickering back very briefly before flickering forward again. He jogged a little faster and would keep up with Niso until he stopped. Only after that, however, did he finally voice the question that was now pounding in his head. “What wuzzat for?” He… might get some clue from his aura but didn’t want to look too deeply into that mass right then.

Slowing down a bit once they were a fair distance from Golisopod and Meganium, Niso turned his eyes back to Lucien, still looking fairly ‘out of it’ as he always did, albeit with just a droplet more purpose in his eyes given what he’d just done and why. At the question...it wasn’t too easy to answer. He knew full well he couldn’t heal through channelling, but...how could he explain that even trying to do anything ‘positive’ with it gave him such an immense kick back he almost thought he was going to die the first time he tried? It had gotten better since but...it wasn’t exactly easy to explain that ‘hey I can’t heal anything without killing myself or IT in the process...probably.’
『Lets just say its better for the plants if you learn away from them~』He offered a smile as he turned on his heels, the dead grass turning to dust beneath him as he spun about on it. 『Now...why don’t you tell me what you already know how to do, and I’ll see if I can use any of it to make this easier hm?~』

The look in Niso’s eyes had Lucien blinking very slowly. Luci didn’t… quite understand what that look was or what it was for but put it to the back of his mind as Niso started talking. Better for the plants— Oh was that why— Tell me what you already know how to do— Heh. Well, that was…kinda quite a bit now, wasn’t it? Sort of. Well, actually—did he really want to admit everything he could do to Niso Konto? Ugh, not really but… Reaching up, Luci ruffled his own hair a bit. “I can see aura and the details of aura— its color, shape, and texture makes sense to me… can kinda read emotions from it too, heh…” Lucien bit his lip not wanting to go into too much detail on that. “Can track with et too,” he grinned a little weakly at that considering what he had used that tracking for recently. “But ah… I can also use Reinforcement.” The glow of his arm made it obvious what he meant. While he had trained it with the intent of defense, something he wanted to use to protect people with, Lucien knew well enough now how weaponizing a shield could be, heh. The green light faded right after that. “Das ‘bout it…” Which was quite a lot for someone his age even if he didn’t even realize it.

Well that was...a bigger repertoire than Niso himself had, but it certainly gave him some idea of what he was working with if he was going to. Was one of those tracking? Niso felt that click in his head pretty quickly, even without gaining much distance from Lucien, he felt he had some good skill when it came to disappearing into a crowd. 『Well that explains a few things...』 As for the reinforcement, Niso remembered him display the aura similarly the other day, and with a bit more of an awake mind he felt another lightbulb go off, speaking before he thought, but managing to cut himself off before her got too far, just vaguely gesturing to his face but trying to hide the motion by running his fingers through his hair.
『Ooooh...aura punches...maybe that’s how yooooooooou-ANYWAY!』Ruffling his hair to shut himself up, he tried to sharply move on. 『Okay so, can see aura, read emotions - do I have any - Scratch that not important right now. You can put aura out like i can project mine...that might be good.』Clappping his hands together he took a step back from Lucien so he had some room to just...focus he guessed, popping his neck side to side and rolling his shoulders.
『Well I’m not a trained teacher, but I suppose a practical demonstration is a good place to start eh?~ I’ll just have to tell you what they told me about healing...but to start, they taught me how to do this』Locking eyes with Lucien, he’d give a faintly devious smirk as the other boy would feel a chill run up his own spine, not like a chilly breeze, but like something was genuinely crawling beneath his skin, a sense of unease and fear filling him for a brief moment. It wasn’t too strong, but it was certainly unnatural. 『Channelling is much like projection...pushing your aura out, but only invisible, and onto a specific target...I imagine like reinforcement focuses on yourself, channelling focuses on another target~』

Gold eyes blinked slowly as Niso spoke. His… aura had… done serious damage to Niso. Even with Niso trying to hide his own realization, it came to Lucien almost of his own accord. I can hurt him longer with aura… Someone could kill him with aura maybe? His own sea green aura swayed around him as he considered this. A thought for another time, anyways. He also caught that brief ‘do I have any’ comment but didn’t quite process what Niso meant by that just then. Instead, his attention went to the practical demonstration. GULP. Lucien physically shivered. His stomach had tightened, and his pulse had elevated. He might have backed up had his legs not locked up. Oh hell, heh. A shaky hand raised up and slowly pushed through his hair. “Jeeze…” he mumbled weakly. He… wondered what that looked like even… Did he really wanna look at Niso’s aura? No, not at all. Not with how it felt just on seeing it.. but.. If he could get a better idea on where the aura was supposed to be going… then maybe… “C’n… ya try dat again?” he asked scratching his cheek slowly. “Ah wanna see somethin’,” and with that, he drew up his own aura to stare at Niso’s again. The glimmer of his golden eyes touched with green would shine as he looked at it again.

Hands resting in his pockets, Niso almost felt a sense of pride in how much he got Lucien to jolt, this was a skill he hadn’t actually used much on other people yet, unlike his projection it didn’t have as much of a visual impact, but seeing it had such a reaction...well. He’d be sure to use it more often.~
Wait he...wanted him to do it again? Niso ruffled the hair on the side of his head, but ultimately shrugged. He’d say ‘your funeral’ but it was hardly a death sentence. 『Hey whatever gets you off』
...he immediately froze before cringing heavily at that choice of wording...he needed to stop hanging out with...people. In general. They were rubbing off on him and the fact his company was Mia, Nik, and Orion, didn’t help.
『Forget I said that. Please.』 Popping his fingers this time for the hell of it, he tried to focus his channelling again. If Lucien was brave enough to watch, he’d watch Niso’s aura wrap around his own, seeping into it, not truly ‘infecting it’, but almost prodding at the surface of it and swirling it about, like a surgeon exploring a patient, carefully exploring without doing any TRUE damage. Niso would hold the sensation until Lucien told him he’d had enough this time.

Lucien’s lips quirked a little too much at Niso’s choice of words— and spread into a smile at Niso’s cringe. Heh, didn’t wanna think about what a— a… ah… uh… what were they even? Not friends, not even allies, but…ahh— whatever he was to him doing that kinda stuff. The request to forget it earned a small shoulder shrug. Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn’t. As Niso focused on channeling again, however, Lucien switched gears a little. He focused his inner sight, watching as Niso’s aura moved, surrounding his own, pushing into it almost. And he felt it— he felt that chill again running down his spine and the way in which it almost made him want to gag? His lips curled a little, and finally he answered back with a “Gawt it,” which was to say he had … at least understood it better now, probably, or perhaps just got tired of feeling so fidgety, heh. Chewing the inside of his mouth, Lucien rubbed his hands together before setting them at his side. “Ah see what et’s doing …” he grinned a little before letting his features fall some and his eyes dull. “Kind of painful….” His own aura swayed a little as he tried to strengthen it a bit— not ready to put it anywhere just yet. “So it’s… any emotion?” he asked after a moment sounding surprisingly serious.

Watching him shake again Niso wondered what exactly made him want to go through that again, but if he was just trying to go for some personal experience he supposed he could understand. Easing off his aura, the infecting tendrils of his own seeping back out of Lucien’s aura and easing away...not that Lucien wasn’t still standing within his own aura, his own just wasn’t being choked by it anymore.
『Well if you think you’ve got it that saves me a job and a half of trying to teach you~』He spoke with a bright smile and chipper tone at the mere fact he didn’t have to put any real effort into this, sticking his tongue out till the next real question came, at which point he needed to think about it. 『Hm...my mentor said it tends to depend on your own aura...like I can hit anything on the negative range, but even trying a positive range...well it isn’t pleasant. Imagine the ‘backlash’ of eating the spiciest taco imaginable』 That seemed like it’d sound horrible enough without telling the truth of ‘MY HEART STOPS’.

Hmmmm…. Lucien’s thoughts ticked in the back of his mind as he considered how Niso’s aura had moved. If he focused, he knew he could harden his own aura, but that wasn’t really what he had seen or felt. It was still fluid but pushy… Hmmmm…. And it also depended on his own aura, yeah? Hmmmm.. Drawing up some aura around himself, Lucien focused it. A light green would very briefly envelope his form before seeming to burst away. UHMPH!?! Lucien winced. Ah no, that was probably too close to some vague form of projection, huh?… He could feel the drain like it and ugh that kinda sucked…Lucien grimaced a little and reached a hand up to his head. “Huh….” He smiled a little weakly after the fact. “Ya gawt any better tips?”

Niso watched Lucien with some mild excitement and anticipation, grinning as he crossed his arms and watched Lucien try to focus. Then...instant dissapointment. Maybe it was harsh but he could only recognize the signs of projection and immediately begin waving his hands, walking across to Lucen and flicking his nose to snap him out of his focus likely just a second after Lucien had already calmed down himself. He may not have known how to truly teach this, but he knew for a fact this was being done wrong.
『Well for one, that was wrong. Very wrong. Channelling just...it isn't visible. You're pushing aura far too close to the service.』OOooh look at him talking like he actually knows whats going on here, but...as a physical sensation, it made sense to him, and he had to try to explain as best as he could. 『Just...close your eyes...and try to push your aura towards me, but not UP. This isn't about excuding power like reinforcement or projection, its a subtle manipulation』Okay maybe even he wasn't sure what he was saying at this point but...
『Just keep your eyes closed...and try and shift your aura without putting too much weight in it. I'll watch your aura, and tell you whenever you get too physical. Sound good?~』 He was about done before snapping his fingers. 『Oh! and, and! Try and focus on an emotion thats...'you'. For me, fear, uncomfortableness, paranoia, uncertainty...for you...? I dunno. You seem a pretty relaxed guy?』

GAH-!?! Niso’s flick drew such a disgusted look onto Lucien’s face for a moment that it honestly surprised even him for a second. A small puff of air filled his cheeks only to be exhaled after a moment. “Ey- t’s tha first time,” he huffed a little softly. Mmmmm… Ok. Let’s see…. Pushing too hard, yeah he got that one... Hmmm… A hand reached up and scratched his head as Niso described the rest. A small nod was given anyways, and yellow eyes slowly closed before Lucien took in a slow breath.
Try and focus on an emotion Mwah? What— what emotion was he? “Ah’ll give et a try…” he mumbled taking in a slow breath again. Ok… see the aura…. Feel it… c’mon… Lucien could see it, Niso’s dark, menacing aura that seemed to be permeate everything around them. His stomach tightened, but he… focused on his own, the sea green he could see even from his inner mind. What he was, who he was. What he felt… Calm… Yeah.
Both hands reached in front of him, tips of fingers touching, and Lucien just… focused. He was back on Alola, under the warm sun right up next to the cool water. People and Pokemon were laughing, playing, battling, dancing. Paradise, it really was. The air shifted some, and a calming sensation would fill the area, spreading out through Niso’s overwhelming aura and fading off into the air.

Niso would watch Lucien intently, resting his hands on his knees as he leaned forward, likely to the point it would have made Lucien uncomfortable if he hadn't closed his eyes. He watched the subtle shifts of his aura, for a while it wasn't even reaching out so much as just finding it's place, then as it began to push outward, he could see how it was getting thicker as he focused too much on the physical aspect, purposely or accidentally.
『Alright, getting a bit close to the last try there...easy...easy...there we go just maintain that sorta natural flow...』
It took a while for the sensation to actually hit Niso as Lucien continued to channel but, when it did...it wasn't perfect, but for Niso it was still a lot. He felt a wave of cool air brush through his brain. It didn't aid the storm in his mind but...it turned the usual tornado into a rough wind, which for him was a lot...it was like coming back from a near murder moment to just rest his head on Sera's lap. He was still conflicted but far calmer than even his normal state just via her presence.
『Yeah that...that's good...』 He stepped back a little, not used to feeling even close to this without Sera's influence, rubbing his forehead like it was a foreign sensation chewing at his frontal lobes. 『Range could use some work but...you're definitely getting the hang of it...』 He seemec cheerful, but he trailed off as he added in a mumble.
『Now for the hard part...』

Ok, ok, right. Don’t push too hard, heh. HEH. No, brain, not now. Just go with the flow heh. This… felt right though, in a way he wasn’t entirely sure of how to describe. The settled feeling, the lull in his emotions. It was nice for himself as well. Yeah. Heh, not too bad yeah? He could do this just fine.
One golden eye flickered open to look at Niso again as he spoke. Had he felt something, maybe? It was hard to tell with the way he had been focusing on his own aura instead of the surroundings.
“Hard part?” Lucien asked-stated, his own aura relaxing a bit from its gradual push outwards. If that wasn’t the hard part then what was, eh? Heh. That almost scared him (or maybe that was Niso’s still looming aura right there).

『Trust me its the hard part for me not you』He paused briefly before adding 『Actually it might be hard for you, I wouldn't know.』 He'd explain that in a minute but for now he just let his arms drop as he tried to think of how to explain this, let alone pull it off, shaking his arms loose and just trying to get the nerves out of his system while also refreshing his own memory on the matter.
『Okay so, the main way channelling is gonna be useful out here is the...restorative aspect. Giving just a fraction, a regeneratable part of your aura, to something else to aid its growth or its healing...and...』 He tossed his arms up in defeat at how else to say this. 『I literally can't do it. Its impossible. My aura is fucking incompatible with the concept. I know how it works, I know HOW to do it...but where you would probably make those plants grow healthy and strong...I'd kill them before they even sprout』
He couldn't help but chuckle as his head dipped lower. 『My aura is literally toxic to share』
