It all did sound so very romantic to Evelyn's ears. And the girl was nothing, if not a sucker, for a real-life romance. It gave some hope to the world that it was possible. She knew sometimes she was guilty of being a dreamer, but how could she not want a happy ending?
"Yes, I can," she confirmed to the other girl with a smile. "I'm not very good at it, but I can. A pixie here at the school was helping me last term. Now I've at least got the hang of it that I can do it on my own. It's even pretty fun." Which she wasn't quite sure about at first.
A puddle of water? Wow. "I bet that's amazing." She wondered momentarily what it could be like to meld with the earth, to truly feel it. The question posed to her brought her back to the present, "Yes, in a way." Now this was what she was comfortable with. "I can adjust their growth, make alterations, control their shape, and as I get better, I could even control and exploit ground fissures, maybe even cause minor earthquakes." But that will take some time.
