The pair followed Hal outside. Talner lurked back by the doors, under the awning to stay out of the rain. Nate followed Hal over towards where the can was set. He stared at his hands for a moment before closing his eyes and trying to think of what the other boy had said. Heat gathered in his hand. As far as he could tell so far, the heat around him had just increased.

He nods his head and moves out of the way, "Now, aim your hand with the heat in it at the can, and try to move the heat out, towards the can, try heating the can up from where you are."

Nate nodded his head a bit to show he'd heard Hal. He slowly breathed in and out, trying to imagine the heat collecting in his right hand. The hand was held up chest level, the palm upwards and the fingers curled as if they held a ball in place.
After a few moments, Nate turned his hand, pointing the palm towards the can and tried to send a beam of heat towards the can. He opened his eyes and saw steam rising up to the halfway point between himself and the can... and that same distance in all directions. The boy frowned. He'd sent the heat outwards all around him... This was going to be hard.

He laughs a bit and claps, "Good first try nate, you can push the heat out, that's a good first step, let's focus then on collecting it okay? Hmm...hehehe...imagine a ball in your hand, a ball that sucks in heat."

Nate blushed a bit. He wasn't sure if he'd count that as good or not, but whatever. So... collecting it. He stared at his right palm, cupping it upwards again. A ball that sucked in heat. He tried to imagine all the heat around him gathering in that palm and staying there as more and more gathered.
Talner stood back and watched. He hoped that perhaps this boy could teach his son. If nothing else, this Halycon was much nicer than that witch woman Nate had had last...

Halcyon crouched down on his haunches as he watched, he knew visualization was an important first step, especially with something as ephemeral as Nate's powers, his was more solid and he could see what it was doing immediately. However he also knew if Nate couldn't learn to control and direct it, Nate would be a serious threat to everyone around him and he'd rather not see it come to that.
"Good Nate, keep it up!"

Nathaniel wished there was a way to see heat. Then he'd be able to see what he was doing. Oh well, he was going by feeling here. He just hoped it would work. After a few more moments, he glanced up at the can. He could try sending it again. It hadn't gone far enough last time.
His brow furrowed as he stared at the can and imagined that ball in his palm shooting forward towards it. He frowned as the steam stopped about the same spot, but was more teardrop shaped about him this time, with the longest part directed at the can.
The boy sighed. This was hard....

Halcyon was paying close attention and saw the teardrop steam, once Nate was done he began clapping, "Excellent work Nate! That was great! I'm proud of you Nate! You did great, keep that up with practice you may just be throwing balls of fire! maybe don't know if you can but either way that was very good Nate. I think that deserves a treat, what would you like Nate? I'll pay."

Nate was tired and blushed a bit at the excessive praise. It was like he was a puppy or something. "A treat sounds good..." He glanced over at his father to see if it was okay, which it was. The boy grinned and went over to retrieve the can he hadn't managed to miss. Maybe he'd practice with it at home some.
He wandered over to where Hal was standing, holding out the can to see if the boy wanted it back or not.

He shakes his head slowly, "Keep the can Nate." he starts back towards the mall, "So what would you like to have Nate?" gave the kid a ruffle of the hair before moving into the mall, waiting for the other two to catch up.

Nate grinned and fiddled with the can for a moment. "Uh... ice cream?" The cold treat was his favorite, though with his problem, he had to eat it kinda fast... The boy headed into the mall, Talner following along behind. The man smiled, happy that his son had found someone to help him out a bit with this whole heat thing.

He nods his head and holds out the ice cream after buying it for Nate, "Try practicing on your own too Nate...could use something like a ball in your hand, don't use rubber though that'll...make a nasty mess if it melts."

Nate smiled and took the ice cream cone, happily licking the cold treat. "Yeah, we have to be careful when buying toys..." They'd discovered what a mess rubber and plastic could make when melted. But surely he could find some sort of a ball that could withstand the heat?

He nods his head slightly then thinks a moment, "Hmmm...I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find something that is fire and heat resistant...maybe make a ball out of stone...or packed dirt in the same stuff you use for your clothes." Halcyon answers back, adjusting his own leather jacket a bit.

Nate's eyes lit up at the mention of a stone. He'd seen a pretty orb that was made of marble at a store the other day! Now he had the perfect excuse to have his dad buy it! Nate grinned. "Thanks for helping me today... and for the ice cream!"
