Kentler would close the book. Putting it away in a satchel on his belt like a grimoire holster. He knew that troublesome ability of Leon's eyes. One of the reasons it was obvious he was one of the trio between himself, Grave, and Leon.
"Very well. Don, get ready. Miss Locke, activate the Seikatsugan and try to read Don. Not just his movements or intentions, try to peer into his aura. You can see it, watch it's flow, how its forced to move when Don uses his abilities. Find the core of his energy, the pool of power hidden within his center, where all of his power bleeds from. Follow the stream of his aura as if walking up river to the source of the rushing water."

"To use just the eyes?" asking as if it was needed to use any of her other abilities to aid her in accomplishing this task. She felt if she had to it might defeat the purpose of having the eyes at all but if it was necessary she'd want to be sure.
With a blink or two she felt them awaken once more. The iris and pupil shaped and formed into something else entirely opening up their power. A power that she could hardly call her own but it would never fail to color her world.
Qi:1
Seikatsugan Activation: Can see the Aura or Life Force of a person, even through objects. Also able to see the level of persons overall stats compared to their own. (IE If their own overall stats are 50, and someone else's is Ten, they can simply see they are weaker. If the user's stats total 10 and they see someone with 50 they only see that the person is stronger.) +10 ENG, +10 Spd

Avice can see that Don and Kentler are both stronger than her.
"Just the eyes."
Kentler confirms for Avice. Meanwhile she can see Don activate his Seikatsugan as his aura flares, a burst of energy exploding from his eyes intermingling and expanding his Aura in her vision, as she herself feels stronger, as if she has more energy. Don's red aura ebbs and flows, while he stands there for her. She can trace each flame from his Aura all the way back to the core of Don's energy just by looking at him.
"Don, use an ability, Miss Locke, try to track it's flow when he does so."
Don raises a hand, his Aura shoots from his core and up into his shoulder. The whole time seeming like blood vessels rushing blood to his shoulder, before it arcs down his arm and into his hand, changing the color of his red internal energy to blue, it zigs and zags down his arm and into his hand, suddenly Avice can see it all, the entire Qi structure within his body, color coded and representing abilities. Some veins of energy are darkened, while all the others have an open flow. Avice knows he can manipulate his own electrical output to project outwards in electric attacks. Some veins show blasts, others show a back pulse that creates lightning blades, a shield generating vein, an absorbing vein meaning he can take electricity from other places. The darker vein though looks like some sort of electro magnetic field generating ability to move metal objects within a certain distance.
"That's it! You see it, right?"
Kentler asks.

She blinked more seeing their differences in power. Focusing on Don she stepped back watching his power flare about until it settled where it should be. she watched him move and shift and began lifting a finger as if trying to count and remember what they were trying to tell her she might see Kentler understand this and his enthusiasm caught her by surprise.
"It is like I opened a book and understood an unknown language..."

Kentler smirks at her comment and Don stops doing his electricity thing.
"That is an apt description."
Don turns off his Seikatsugan and folds his arms. Kentler approaches and gives Avice an approving nod.
"That looked like you took to it naturally. Even with Don's help you obviously took to it rather well and quickly."

"It was too easy... I can only assume my reserve for using the eyes at all was the only reason I hadn't discovered it thus far... Simply knowing I may have to give them back and get mine own once more I hadn't wanted to get too used to the colors that have only just recently become something known to me." Admitting this she closed her eyes feeling what strength they've endured but it might not be much worth noting.
"We can probably go for another. If I can see the Qi, maybe forging a blade from it might not be terribly far off... if you would judge it to be a safe decision?" She would take his word and better judgment. If it wasn't a good idea, she'd accept that otherwise, it was something she was willing to push if she could. He had warned her so she would take that to heart

Kentler would watch for a second before speaking.
"I can only advise that it may be a bad idea, but if you think you are up to it. Let us try."

"Oi, a moment..." she waved a hand in a halting motion. "If you indeed "advise" it be a bad idea then I don't want to break what isn't mine or risk myself anymore than what I need to. I'll stop now while I am ahead. Unless you think one of the other abilities would be a better option to try and get out of the way while we are in this moment. If it makes absolutely no difference then I can go do a number of other things until next time to keep up progress. Aye?"
Asking Kentler if he might know a better ability for her to try now or if she needed to just wait as what was originally intended. She worried she was coming off a little hasty but that wasn't the case. Most of all, in the forefront of her mind she wanted to not only do this right but efficiently. Keeping thoughts of her child in her every decision she would not risk herself if she could help it.

Kentler would fold his arms at her question. His gold eyes unblinking as he peered at the ground for a few moments.
"I'd say you are going about it the most logical way. But, yes, I would also say hold off on the rest for now. This power in our teachings feeds off your greed. For us, unlocking it's secrets or gaining it's power too quickly can ruin our eyes and our Qi flow permanently. Requiring a transplant to fix. There is quite a bit of pain involved when we damage the Seikatsugan and activate it in dire needs. However, because you are the recipient of a transplant the danger is less for you, permanent effects are much less likely. However, they are still eyes, and straining them is not good."
Kentler would pause.
"I doubt Leon would want his eyes back..."

"Then that settles it..." she was done with the training. She paused a moment as if kind of assuming what he might be talking about. "If he wants them back personally or not I was told I was holding onto them for safekeeping. I am not sure he intended to give them to me to use for myself. Asking that just makes me feel like I am looking for handouts where they come. It is not like they stay for a while and suddenly they are mine... If he tells me to give them to Elias after all my hard work, that feels shitty. So I had my reserves about using them at all."

"As much as he believes himself to be an uncaring, and ruthless warrior. He is heavily sentimental. In our culture, eyes that are considered above average are vaulted, protected, or destroyed by our Guardians. Specially trained warriors in our group to take on other Sudeki, or people who have their eyes. He hid them in you, and as much as I dislike his inability to communicate, I have to agree with him on this one. Your aura is the perfect hiding place. So I assume he gave them to you to use until you die. I'd say the boon is more of an apology for what happened with Prota, than a free hand out."
Kentler would pull the book from it's holster and flip it open to begin reading again. Don would shrug.
"Sounds to me the Bastard is just a sneaky fuckin' guy. Glad he turned down the position of runnin' this place."

"Yeah, yeah my aura is as black as pitch and fuckin' gross..." but then she let Kentler continue without further interruption taking in the fullness of what he was telling her. As much as she liked to believe in him it just didn't fit the image she originally had. More so what Leon said to her before about choosing a side with the Freedom they so craved it was beginning to click with her. "An Apology eh...?"
With what Don said she started to put another piece together. It wouldn't be surprising that as a Dragon alone, he would be looked as fit to lead on strength. But she had to ask of course. "So why did he turn it down?"

Kentler would look up from his book as Don shrugged.
"As I said he is sentimental. Our father had died just before the war started leaving our older brother as the Clan leader. Grave always got along with Leon the most. When we rescued him from Prota and Grave died as a result he blamed himself. He wanted revenge, he wanted to be angry, he wanted to be alone. He was already the leader of an entire army, and when I approached him with the offer, he declined it."
Kentler pondered.
"I suspect it is because the Clan Leader is held to strict rules, and can not act individually. He told me it was best if I took over, for the Clan, and himself. I can not say for sure, but as long as I've known him, he calculates everything in an instant based on his own intentions."

She stood still folding her arms. "That's... Good to know, actually." she exhaled deeply. "Thank you both for your help and I look forward to another session like this one at a later date." she excused herself and If she wasn't stopped she was headed to her chambers. Having a lot to think about she needed a bit of silence to figure out her next move.
She was replacing the bandages that broke in the original plan to get Leon out of the portal. Elias might end up replacing her as she would have to stand in Raikotsu's place. He was a Dragon as well... Who knows what the Apprentice's path to Dragon hood entails but she certainly couldn't sit on her ass waiting. She has a couple of ideas on what to do at this point...
Avice was fiddling with an afterlife... maybe she can visit someone with that specialty in mind..?
