Rehease, it's only avoidance behaviour if you think about it too much

"Let's go." You say walking with Lucia outside the Dorms. "So what are you working on today?"

"You said I can have my magic handle my dragons movements without me thinking about it." She says sitting onto the ground and conjuring her dragon in front of herself.

"Yep." You siting opposite her and conjure your own.

"Great how?" She asked as her dragon starts to walk in a small circle. As it does the fine definition of each scale blends into a smudge.

"Ok do this." You have your dragon face you and take a neutral standing position. Her dragon does the same and the definition returns to the scales. "Now right now your focusing on the scales to keep them there, in order to off load that onto your magic you need to believe that your dragon has scales. You aren't conjuring an image you are conjuring a living being."

Lucia forehead wrinkles and she looked over the two conjured dragons to give you a skeptical look. "What?"

"You want to the class the Elf was teaching right?" You hoped you would have to explain conscious verse ****, well self-conscious verse nonself-conscious to avoid anachronism.

"Yeah that stuff about what's in your head and what's not in your head but you know." Lucia sounded unconvinced.

"Exactly you need to get your dragon from in your head to not in your head." You say hoping this made sense to her.

"What?" She asked as her dragon lost some of it's cohesion.

"Ok close your eyes and picture your dragon." Lucia still looks skeptical but closes her eyes. "Get as much definition as you can." Her dragon returns to its scaled out version. "Now you aren't making that, all you are doing is giving a living thing a way into this world." Your really hoped this would work for her. You kinda figured this out on your own but did have literal Goddess given talent, oh that makes all of your achievements significantly less impressive, well that's disappointing.

"Ok got it." Lucia didn't sound like she was being convinced by your winging it.

"Now stop thinking about the scale just think of your dragon as a whole."

Her dragon instantly lose all of it definition and became blurry. She opened her eyes and let out a sigh then closed her eyes and her dragon reformed. She repeated the process a few times with her dragon always returning to it blurry form. After almost a dozen attempts she sighed and stood up stretching her legs. "Let's say I don't get this in time for my performance on Wednesday any other alternatives?"

You stood up with her and tried to think of something. "Well you could just make your dragon move too fast for anyone to really see." You look at the rainbow coloured reptile she was creating. "It's colourful enough that people probably wouldn't notice the finer details with you dancing and it flying quickly."

"Not good enough." Lucia said. "If I can be better I won't take the lazy option."

"Didn't you want me to do the dragon part for you." You asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You looked lonely and **** for my attention." Lucia countered with a smirk.

"How long have you been waiting to say that?" You say with a bemused shake of the head.

"Longer than you'd think, and yes I did want you to because I didn't think I could do this." She said making her dragon jump into the air and start flapping keeping it's scales in place.

"You're a quick learner." You say, wearing your pride at her advancement openly.

"Still not into guys." She says with an embarrassed grin as her dragon starts flapping around you.

"Why is everything about sex with you." You shoot back making your dragon jump into the air and fly after hers.

The two of you keep your dragons flying around for a bit. This had taken your mind off the situation in your room which is sorely needed. But thinking that brought your mind back to said situation. "Hey if you had to choose between Auria and Varatie which would you pick?"

Lucia starts at you question and her dragon falters. She looks like she is about to make a joke then reconsiders. "Hmm, what are the consequence? Like can I still be friends with the other, if I can't pick both?"

"I, let's say the other one disappears. And noble rank or whatever doesn't matter."

She takes a breath before answering. "Well," she stops and thinks for a bit longer. "I don't know. Vatarie, I've heard lots about her and seen her in passing a lot but until you showed up I wouldn't have ever thought I'd have a shot with her but I want to try. Auria, she's really hot and super flirty and her tits are huge and she's nice." Lucia pauses and takes another breath. "I don't know." She shrugs, "Sorry, I've had a crush on Vatarie for years but I like being around Auria. Can't chose. What's this about? You deciding to not to fight with me over one of them?" She asks with a smile.

You laugh. "Not exactly and thanks for playing along."

"Anytime, you're kinda my only friend here." She laughs awkwardly and rubs her neck.

You think for a moment. "Same here, at least the only friend who isn't trying or actually having sex with me."

"Well you're less my friend now." She says as a joke but you can see a bit of jealously in her aura that makes you feel bad.

You laugh and after a bit she joins in. "Right back to it." You say clapping your hands. She lets out a breath and sits back down.

"No other ideas?" She asks as you sit down with her.

"Sorry." You say with an appologtic shrug and laugh as a thought strikes you. "Well unless one of the Clare's helps."

"Who?" Lucia asks opening her eyes.

"Oh right, both the Goddess's are called Clare, maybe one of them could help."

Lucia gives you a flat stare before the corners of her mouth curl into a smile. "Thanks." She still didn't believe you but she did look a bit less stressed.

She goes back to practicing with you giving the occasional suggestion that amounts to what feels right but you still have no idea how helpful you are. After what you think is an hour of sitting there trying to figure this out Lucia gets up.

"Ok I'm tapped out." Lucia says blinking a few times to readjust her eyes to being open. "You wanna go find one of you courter so we can get into the upper class baths and see some noble boobs?" She asks hopefully.

"Seriously sex it's all you think about." You say laughing with her.

"Well unlike someone I don't have a roommate that doubles as a sex toy." Lucia responds.

Oh right Edin. You wonder if he is still at the royal estate helping Blue or he went back to your room ... the room with two Goddesses in it ... the room with one incredibly pervy Goddess and one super repressed Goddess in it ... the two Goddesses waiting for you to give an answer.
