Signis walked through the forest, making his way to the Cave he'd spotted when he'd followed Bellatrix. He smiled and walked down into it.
"Hello, Bellatrix, are you home or awake?" He called, holding his own sword flat bladed over his shoulder, and Bellatrix's smaller blade in his hand by the sheath, hoping she was both home and awake, wanting to get started on the lessons, and also a tad excited to see if she liked his handiwork, he was already thinking of how to make her elbow blades, but his main thought was to wait till she was a tad older, so that he wouldn't have to remake them, and he would probably make them out of pure Guardium, thinking they would look best with a heavier green sheen... He nodded his head, and waited, standing not too far into the cave less she not be home.

Bellatrix is sitting at her vanity when she hears the familiar voice.
She was brushing out her hair, and messing with the perfume that Lenore bought her. Setting the brush down, her brow furrows and she looks over at Snakey.
Her boa slithers out under the silk curtains that make up the deviders for her rooms, and looks out to see, for sure, it is who Trixie thinks it is. When he hisses back at her, she stands and walks toward the slit in the curtain.
"Hello Signis. Come in," she says, walking toward the entrance. "You sit on pillow and I bring water? Or," her yellow eyes make their way toward the sword he is carrying, and the much smaller sheathe. "This no social call? Or, maybe it both?"

"Both..." Signis chuckled, nodding his head and slowly entering as she invited him. He bowed his head and looked about quickly with a smile. "Nice..." He chuckled. "It's definatly got the touch of a lair going on..." He smiled, and looked about for these pillows of which she spoke, ladying the blades over byt the door before he did too much else. "Think of this as a social-business call..." He chuckled.

Bellatrix smiles, watching him set aside the blades, and motions to the pillows. "Sit, I be back soon," she says, and disappears into another, curtained-off room.
When she comes back, she is balancing a small silver tray with a crystal jug of water and two crystal glasses. She sets it down on the low table, and pours the water.
"Did not think see you so soon," she says, settling down on a pillow, fixing her skirt absently. "You rest well? Work on hammer any?" she asks before taking a sip from her water.
She has her unblinking gaze fixed on him again as she tucks her hair behind her ear.

Signis smiled and sat, he reached for a glass and sipped at it for a minute or two before compiling an answer.
"I rested quite well, but no, I didn't work on the hammer any, instead I decided to work on a blade for you..." He said, nodding his head towards the sheathed weapon by the door, sized to fit her size, and be held in two hands, the silvery steel ornimentation quite visable from their seat. "I decided I rather like your company, so I thought, seeing as I had nothign to do today, or rather, that I was not in the mood to smelt, I decided I should come and visit you, if not to teach you what I promised, as well as start you on the sword, then to chat, as I enjoyed it very much the other day..." He nodded.

Bellatrix tilts her head to the side, her eyes still unblinking, as she listens to Signis, a small smile coming to her lips.
She sets the glass back onto the tray, and stands. Excusing herself, she walks on her short legs toward the sheathed blade. It is big, to her at least, she notes when she gets closer to it.
She eyes the snakes on the sheath, nodding her head in approval, before looking at the hilt. Grinning now, she grabs the hilt, and tugs it a little out of the sheath. Her eyes sparkle when she sees the snakes, and how beautifully they had been crafted.
She manages to tear herself away from it, and walks back to the pillows.
Hesitating, not really good at this, she tries to give Signis a hug. It is a rather awkward one, and it is soon over, and she is sitting on her pillow again, straighting her skirt out, and taking another sip of her water. "Thank you much, Signis. Very pretty, good . . ." her eyes seek out Snakey again. As if knowing she is looking for him, he pokes his head around the curtain. She hisses to him, and he replies. "Craftmanship." Again, she beams proudly at her budding vocabulary. "Light, I won't fall over or no be able to pick up," her appreciation over that little fact shows on her face for the briefest of moments before the pleasantly polite expression takes over again.

Signis smiled and nodded his head. "Light is good, and thank you, I worked very hard on it hoping to make it to your liking." He sipped at his water again and cast his eyes about for a moment before locking them on hers again. "I felt the snakes would be a nice touch... You'll notice the blade has a minor green hue to it... When I make your elbow blades I will try to get that green bolder out on the snakes for those..." He nodded his head.

"Snakes best animal," Bellatrix comments, folding her small hands in her lap, and tilting her head again, keeping up the staring contest.
She really wants to see Signis squirm for some reason. . . .
She grins when he mentions her elbow blades, and the green of the snakes. "If not much trouble," she says, referring to getting the color bolder. "Green on sword blade pretty as is, so if difficult, you no need push."
She drinks the rest of her water before setting the crystal glass back on the tray again, never taking her eyes off of Signis. "Training going to be hard? Or, you start a little easy?" she asks. The last thing she wants to do is fall flat on her face while trying to learn something. . . .

Signis chuckled. "I would have to be inclined to agree..." He nodded tapping his chin. "I was going to teach you the method I used to cheat, as it is the basis for all of my sword techniques..." He murmured.
"It shouldn't be too hard..." He smiled. "I'll just have to trial and error it..." he grinned.

"What that be?" Trixie asks, blinking once, with a look of polite curiousity on her face.
Pushing her hair, impatiently behind her ears again, she reaches for the hair band wrapped around the silver button on her dress, and pulls her hair back. It wouldn't do to have it falling into her face while she is being taught, now would it?

Signis smiled and nodded his head. "It's called the flame and the void..." He chuckled and sat back, nodding his head slowly.
"First, you focus all of your emotions into a flame in your mind, then you extinguish the flame leaving only an empty void, allowing you to become one with all that you do..." He smiled.

Bellatrix blinks once, and looks down at her hands. "I try now?" she asks.
Without waiting for a responce, she returns her eyes to Signis, and goes about trying.
It is a lot harder than he makes it sound, especially for someone her age.
After sitting there in silence for a long time, she decides that it might be easier if she just asigned forms to these emotions. So, she starts doing that, never taking her eyes off Signis, even if they are a bit glazed and it is fairly obvious that she is not really registering him in her mind's eye.

Signis smiled and nodded his head, leaning on the table a bit as he watched her. This was always the hardest part to master, it had taken him weeks upon weeks of nearly constant practice till he'd finally gotten it, he'd always been a hot head too... If anything, the Flame and the Void had allowed him to mellow out a little, not be so... Wild...

Alright, this is a little frustrating. Even if her eyes are still glassing, the pointed tip of her tail is twitching to give that away.
She expells a breath, and seems to slump over in her seat. "How long take you, Signis?" she asks, inwardly hoping that he did not think she would get it right then.
Because, then, that would make her less-than-perfect. And, less-than-perfect Bellatrix is not.

Signis chuckled. "It took me about a month and a half, actually a bit more than that..." He nodded his head. "It's impossible to get on your first try, my father said that..." He nodded his head. "Take your time, there's no rush..." He chuckled.
