Bridge, fully recovered and armed with coffee, shuffles in to the library to open it right on time.

"Just take off a glove," Bridge says, holding up a hand and wiggling his fingers.

"Okay," Zuko gave Bridge a sceptical look. "Do it."

Re: Third Period

"Okay, ready." Bridge says, taking off a glove and holding one hand up towards Zuko, focusing on the other boy's aura.

Zuko wasn't entirely sure how Bridge was doing the reading with his hands, but he was too curious not to give it a go. Taking a deep breath, he created a flame in the palm of his hand. He doubted the principal would appreciate it if he created a fireball in the library. Or set off the sprinklers for that matter.

Bridge watches, fascinated as he follows the path of the tiny tendril of energy through Zuko's body and out into his palm where it became the flame. "I can see it!" he reports.

Re: Third Period

"What does it look like?" Zuko asked curiously. "I can only sense the energy."

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It's white," Bridge says, "and it looks... like a really bright spark of electricity, until it gets here," he taps his own palm. "And becomes the flame."

Re: Third Period

Zuko extinguished the flame and looked down at his palm. "Interesting," he decided. "Can you teach someone to see energy?"

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I've never tried," Bridge admits. "Then again, I've never known anyone who could even sense it at all."

Re: Third Period

"All firebenders can," Zuko said. "Do you meditate?"

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge nods. "It helps me focus."

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Does it help develop your skills further?"

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge says. "Aly- um, the Spying teacher- had me do meditation in order to get tighter control over them."

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"I know her," Zuko replied quickly. "I wasn't aware that she knew about meditation."

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"She is. She's been helping me train," Bridge explains.

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Did she teach you how to pick locks too?" Zuko wondered.

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge grins.

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"She's a strange teacher," Zuko decided.

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I think that could apply to like, half the teachers here," Bridge points out.

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"I suppose. She doesn't have horns," Zuko agreed.

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You're in the Music class?" Bridge guesses. Somehow he can't picture it.

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko looked thoroughly unhappy. "Yes."

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...I'm guessing not by choice?" Bridge raises an eyebrow.

Re: Third Period

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"No. The person who signed me up for my classes is a sadist," Zuko informed Bridge.

Re: Third Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That sucks, dude," Bridge says sympathetically. "My CO signed me up for mine. But they're probably all ones I would have picked myself anyway."
