"And Air in particular", Adrien continued, "is one of the rising energies, like Fire, but without Fire's more -- physical, bodily aspects, I suppose. It's more about -- floating, about weightlessness. That's why it's connected with joy and innocence".
"Innocence... In a sense", Val said. "I wouldn't call it innocence, but rather -- the state of being unburdened by shame". He seated himself upright and folded his arms over the table. "You really are quite prepared. Does this mean that you have a special interest in these concepts?".
Adrien chuckled nervously. "...That's not really it, uh, it's just that I was reading about this the other day", he admitted, his face turning red. "I've never been able to cast an Air spell or anything like that... Sorry for cheating!".
Val couldn't help but giggle a bit. "Not that it's cheating, but... Well, in any case, you'll learn what to do with this information in the next few lessons. Your exercise will be to lessen the weight of a heavy object".
