"Can you form nodes in those limbs?"
Renlo took a moment to ponder those words.
"I-I think so."
"You think so?" Malakai narrowed his eyes. "Is that a yes, or no."
When Renlo didn't respond, Malakai sighed. "Alright, try to see if you can direct vita through the limbs. Start with your right hand."
Renlo nodded and focused. He felt the vita moving through his body, floating through the air. He inhaled, drawing in vita from the air. Then he began channeling it towards his right arm.
Renlo felt it all converge on one spot and a smile blossomed on his face before he knew it. He turned to Malakai, whose eyes looked like he already knew. His eyes always looked like that.
"I can." Renlo said.
"That's good then." Malakai nodded with a smile, "it means you can get stronger and faster than this."
Renlo felt a surge of excitement hit him despite his constant gloom.
