Dona
Dona nodded and moved to the back and put a kettle of tea on the stove.
"Now, as I was saying, I believe you may be an elemental. That means," she said as she sat down again, "you can manipulate one of the four elements. In your case, I'd say air." She was somewhat amused at how much she could remember from her mentor's speech to her so long ago.

Danae
Danae nodded, her eyes sparkling. Dona was giving her answers, more answers than anyone else had given her, even her own father. So she would stay and listen, especially when the shopkeeper was making sense.
"Is that the reason why the storms follow me?" she asked. "And if I am an elemental, what do I do now? I mean, I am trained to be a fighter, but not in anything else, especially about being an elemental."
Danae knew she was rambling, and she was fingering her pendant again, but she didn't know what else to do.

Dona
"I'm not sure the storms follow you exactly. It's more like you call them to you. As for what happens now, well, you get a mentor - that is, another elemental to help you learn to control your powers. My mentor controlled fire..." Dona said with some amusement, remembering the time she had spent training with him. She was jolted out of her reminiscing by the tea kettle whistling loudly.
"Ah, one moment," she said as she went to take the pot off the stove.

Danae
"Oh, I see," Danae answered. "I alway thought the storms followed me. I never thought I 'called' them. I never had anyone tell me that before."
Then she paused for a moment, deep in thought as Dona went to check on the tea. She followed the shopkeeper to the stove and asked nervously, "Will you be my mentor?"

Dona
Dona glanced at Danae before returning her attention to the teapot, buying herself a few moments to think. She hadn't thought of that option, but now that it was in front of her...
After a minute or two she had two cups of tea poured out and the pot was set aside. "I think I could be able to do that," she said simply with a small nod.

Danae
Danae smiled broadly. "Thank you!" she said eagerly. "I'll put my things in the back for now, and I'll get a room somewhere." With that she grabbed her bag and went to the back again.
When she returned, she was without her armor, only wearing a dagger in her belt. She only wore a short-sleeved shirt and her leather pants. "Do you want me to help you here first?" she asked.

Dona
Dona shook her head with some amusement as Danae ran off. 'So excited..' She sat down and stirred some sugar into her tea patiently while she waited.
"I do have a few healing salves that have to be done by dark, but those are simple enough. I believe for now you should work on calming down." She smiled wryly. "It's because you become emotional easily that your power is manifesting without your consent. I didn't know if you would prefer your tea plain or with sugar and cream, so I'll leave it up to you," she said idly, waving her hand towards the items in question.
"One way to control yourself is through meditation. I knew someone who had to meditate every morning when he woke up and every night before bed, as he was naturally high tempered. While I doubt you're in need of that much meditation, learning the basics can help. When one is having a stressful time stepping away from everything is a great help. You can also learn to channel both your air control and healing abilities." She nodded to herself and continued to sip her tea.

Danae
"I'm sorry," Danae said, bowing her head. "But you're the first person who has told me anything, the only one who's explained why."
She then sat down and took her tea. She took care to calm herself as she put cream and sugar into her tea and listened to Dona. She nodded, agreeing with the shopkeeper about meditation. She needed something to calm herself, especially if it kept the storms away.
But her eyes widened when Dona mentioned healing abilities. "So that is why I never had any scars," she said quietly, sipping her tea. She paussed for a moment, then asked, her voice barely a whisper, "How do you know so much? Are you an elemental?"

Dona
Dona paused for a few moments before answering. "Yes, I am. As was my mentor, and his before him." She nodded slightly to herself, draining her cup of tea afterwards and setting it back on the saucerdish it had been on before.

Danae
Danae frowned when Dona talked about her mentor beingan elemental. She was thinking of her own parents, her human parents, the only ones she ever knew.
"I didn't know about my real parents, so I don't know whether they were or not," she answered. "My father trained me to be a fighter, so I suppose that is where my--energy--comes from."
She drank the rest of her tea, then stood up. "Is there something I could do for you?" she asked calmly. "Something to prepare for whatever is happening here?"
