"Don't worry", Val smiled. "If you have any questions, please, as always".

Adrien tilted his head as one worry snaked through his mind. "...If it's true that I'm good at Fire magic, does that mean that I'll find Water magic difficult?".

"No, that's not how it works", Val replied, unable to restrain a little chuckle in his voice. "It's not like a seesaw. Your understanding of one element does not hinder that of its paired one".

"Even if Water is pretty much the opposite of Fire?".

"It is? How so?", Val asked, interested.

"Well, Fire is burning and intense, and Water is... flowing and quiet", Adrien ended up saying.

"That does not have to be how you see it", Val smiled warmly. "Fire can also be the heat of a fireplace - still burning, but mild and comforting... And Water, in the form of a flood, is just as destructive as a wild blaze. It all depends on the aspect you choose to explore".
