Azarias briefly smiles before frowning.

'I'm sure I won't have to, but... where's Elise?'

'I've trained the greatest mages you have heard of and a lot that you haven't, but in all of my years walking this earth, you by far are the youngest.' Crowley remarks to Alice. The little girl and her older sister are both attempting to balance on a wooden log held aloft by their magical energy. Elise rocks back and forth before re-asserting her balance, and Crowley shakes his head. 'No, no, you've got to stand on the log naturally.'

'And how do I do that?' she asks through clenched teeth. The ancient mage sighs. 'This is one of the lessons I teach to remind my pupils why magecraft can't get you out of everything. Alternatively, it's for a rare few to display multitasking, but that's another story. Your center of balance is as much a part of you as your hands and eyes, so use it.'

Elise screws her eyes shut and tries again, murmuring about how Azarias and the others would pay for leaving her behind.
