Val folded his arms over the table and said nothing for a while before answering. "With elemental magic especially, what matters the most is figuring out how do you personally relate to each element", he then said. "I am sure that you can find a way to connect to the element of Water, as well. You only need to find what that way is. I will help you the best I can, but, you already know it - this is your own journey".
Adrien nodded quietly. He stared at the full cup of water in front of his plate as if it could inspire his understanding - but, no matter how much he frowned at it, his mind stayed blank. When it had been with Fire magic, he could immediately think of what emotions summoned the concept of Fire within himself; with Water, he had not the slightest clue - he did not even know where to begin or even what to ask. He sighed. "It will be alright, I hope", he said. "I'm just -- feeling a bit down about it right now".
"I understand completely", Val said. "We will be on this for as long as you need".
