Lucien would nod, it seemed that the basics were pretty easy for Olesya. Maybe this could act as practice for Lucien as well...
"Great, now, let's try something a little more complicated..."
The ball of electricity in his hands would expand, twirling in the air and rising up to encompass Lucien's whole being. In fact, the amount of electricity was the same, just stretched and moulded to sit around him.
"Try to not add any more water as you expand it... Oh, and be careful not to touch yours to mine.. It'll cause a short."

Olesya nodded at his warning, not wanting to mix water and electricity.
"I think you have a point there."
She pulled her hands even farther apart and separated her fingers, pulling at the water as if it were a bundle of fabric. She then turned her palms outward slowly and up to hover the thing sheet around her like an umbrella. A bit ironic, wasn't it?

"Good. Now, let's see... Oh, I know a fun one..."
Lucien's electroball began to spin rapidly, getting faster and faster, the electric current flashing around him like he was encased in a.. well, an electroball.

Olesya somersaulted backwards and back into a sitting position, adding a couple feet between them so their Qi's wouldn't touch. Don't cross the streams afterall...
She reformed the bubble around her, twisting her upper body and arms before twisting the other way quickly, sending the hollow water ball spinning around her. She broke out into a genuine grin.
"Heh."

"Fun, right?" He chuckled, looking to Olesya.
He stood up, the electricity keeping constant around him, spinning at the same speed, as he looked around to pick up a handful of small stones. Satisfied, he turned to Olesya and smiled.
"Okay, keep your Qi up and like that, and you will be fine."
Lucien took one rock in his hand and wound up for a freaking baseball pitch, whipping the rock at her face. Hopefully the high speed Qi would deflect it safely off on a tangent.
He would continue to throw rocks at girls until he was all out of rocks.

Seeing what it was he was about to do, Olesya repeated the twisting motion, kicking up the water to even higher speed. She willed some of her Qi to infuse it as well, the watery dome glowing a translucent bright blue.
The first rock was thrown, ricocheting off the spinning dome and away from them. Same with the second, third, fourth...and so on. Olesya was amazed...she had a shield!
"I wonder if the water needs to be moving to deflect the rocks. I mean maybe, but could my Qi maybe toughen the water and still the molecules from moving when something hits it? Like the same properties if something comes fast at a body of water, like a belly flop."
She was theorizing, afterall she wasn't completely sure what she was capable of. That's the point of training, wasn't it?

"Well, the reason a belly flop works is because it's a larger surface area of water, so the force is spread out, right? Small little things like this won't do that."
He threw the last of his rocks, causing a slight whistling sound as it hurtled through the air. Lucien wanted to try something else, but he wasn't sure if Olesya was up for it. She'd been keeping that barrier up for a while.
"Very good. How do you feel? Are you tired?" He asked, dropping his own barrier.

"Oh that's true."
She agreed, letting the water slow its spinning and condense back into a smaller ball hovering between her hands.
"Not at all! I feel good."
She replied to his question, curious as to what he had planned next.

Lucien smiled and nodded. It was time to try something a little more intense, maybe? Not quite into the 'fighting with Qi' lessons yet, but definitely still useful.
"Alright, now, try to control as much water as possible now. If you need another bucket full, I can get some more." He instructed, wanting to measure the amount of water she could control at the point she was at.

"Or...we could go to the beach. There's plenty of water there."Olesya's eyes lit up at the idea. She'd first fought David on the beach, when her Qi was first unlocked. It would be interesting to see how much she could control now that the flood gates had already been opened. "You've got nowhere to be, right?"She waved her hand in a 'come on' gesture, jogging over to the edge of the training field where her motorbike sat. She climbed on, kicked up the kickstand and revved it to life. She'd look to Lucien, seeing if he would take her up on the offer.

The beach sounded great. He hadn't been to the beach since he'd left Hermosa that last time... He absently wondered how Wedge and the others had been doing...
"Wait.. A motorcycle..?" Lucien said, eyes wide. The nervousness that crept through him was evident by his facial expression of dread. The man had never been that fond of the rolling two-wheeled death traps, let alone riding on the back of one...
But, it was a long walk, and Olesya was looking at him expectantly...
"A-Alright..." He slowly mounted the bike, his pelvis seated just behind Olesya's. Where was he supposed to stick his hands, now...? Plus...
"Ah, do you have a helmet...?"

The nervousness coming off his entire body rivaled that of a high school virgin. Did motorcycles make him that uncomfortable? Olesya smiled kindly, though her eyes glinted with hidden emotion. They'd just struck a friendship, she couldn't ruin it now by scaring his pants off.
She waited for him to climb on awkwardly, before giving instructions.
"Put your arms around my waist and hold tight. And you need to lean into the curves with me, just follow however my body moves. And...there's no helmets."
Laughter escaped with the last couple syllables of her speech. She twisted, looking back at him.
"You gonna be okay?"

Lucien wrapped his arms around the slim woman's waist, gripping tightly as he pressed his torso into her back. He nodded against her.
"Y-Yeah, I'll be okay."
He hoped.

Ohhhhh man, the urge to drive very fast was almost overwhelming....almost. Maybe if she could convince him onto the bike another time she'd take him for the ride of his life. Right now she wanted to get to the beach to practice with her Qi more.
She revved the bike's engine, taking off slowly toward the beach. She left the training grounds, weaved through the marketplace and through the residential area to the lesser populated areas of the territory. Finally they slipped out of the western gate and headed for the beach. She was careful to take each turn slowly, leaning in an almost exaggerated fashion to encourage him to do the same. It was a bit more difficult to drive with another body weighting the bike down, but it was managable.
She slowed to a stop just where the street met the sand, placing her feet back down on the asphalt. She cut the engine and looked back at her companion, expecting to see a look of terror frozen to his features.
"See? That wasn't so bad."
She teased, and kicking down the kickstand, waiting for him to let go of her waist before stepping off the bike.

Don't look up, just keep your eyes closed, just make sure to follow her body when she leans... Don't look up...
Before long (or what felt like hours), the motorcycle slowed. He breathed out a sigh of relief, letting his grip on the woman loosen as he slowly tried to find the ground. His body was still vibrating, as if the bike's engine was still on.
After finding the ground on shaky legs, he looked to Olesya. "N-not so bad, no..."
