Clyde did not have to long to wait, before the man came back... Him and his book on Flux... He ended up settling himself down not to far away, at the edge of the tree line, nestled by a tree.
He took a moment to gauge the distance... He could probably get his aura down, but it would be tough at his distance... He was not quite good enough yet to do one from to far... But as long as he kept it simple, his search that is, it should not become an issue... Though he would have to make sure not to overly focus, lest he overgive on his djed... That would not be good.
He rested for a tick, letting the hot waters flow over him, picturing them in his mind as if they were flames, tickling their way over his body... Then he closed all else out, meditating once more on the thought of a single flame in the middle of darkness, its light flickering out and moving as it wavered and blew in the wind... Perhaps it was a odd thing to focus on while meditating and closing himself off, but it almost always worked for him, when he wanted to calm down and stay within himself...
Finally ready, he felt out with his djed, feeling it course through his body... He focused the flow, willing the res to pool in his head, to gather and slowly flow into his eyes. After a bit, he felt the gentle buzz of djed being spent in him, a flicker on his tongue at the flavor, and he smiled at the pleasant experience... But then he molded the djed, focusing it into his eyes, willing his aura vision to expand, and to focus on the man laying there at the base of the tree...
Nothing to intense, just a gentle look at his aura. As he looked on he saw with his eyes the aura expand out of his body, it was about normal size for a person, perhaps a bit bigger, as was common in males who tended to be larger. It started out as a neutral grey, with no detail.
But as he focused, it slipped into color... For some reason his mind was interpreting his aura as mostly white, with some streams of pink and blue flowing through it like works in an apple... He was not sure what those colors were supposed to mean, but he did not focus on the colors to find out more detail on them, instead focusing on his djed, focusing on the djed within his body, and on the aura...
He was a bit surprised by what he saw. As his aura died down, he was left looking at his body, which at first looked normal... Until his left arm began to glow a bright blue, with his right arm a duller blue... What the petch? It took Clyde a moment to figure out what it meant, with the djed that fresh, he must have just done magic! What were the chances of that, that he would do magic in the short time he left the water?
Clyde thought on this for a tick, puling back his aura vision, and lessening the flow of djed to his eyes... Really, what were the odds? Luckily for him, he had just done magic. Such fresh djed usage was easy for him to see, even though he was not as close as he usually was when he read auras... Though it also made it impossible for him to tell the djed levels in his body... That would require him to be closer, not to mention the fact that the fresh djed usage was overpowering any old djed remnants, like a bright lamp next to a dull flicker of light it hid the duller light. Which meant he could not get a read on his djed remnant levels... He had no clue of his magic usage...
His aura vision now completely faded, he smiled at the man, and spoke quickly.
"So, was the book an interesting read? Though I must say, not probably the smartest book to read out in public, considering Syliras stance on such things."
He said, a grin on his face, as he waited for a response. |
