[he absolutely has some concerns about possibly being dead, but-- well. he's alive right now. he's just got to make sure he stays that way.]
I'm fine working with it, though-- as I said, I think all of its options could be put to good use.
[another brief pause, there, before-]
Speaking of working with it... if you've known something similar before, I don't suppose you have any suggestions for how to learn?
[I'll be real the entire reason Sol gets this question instead of Lune is that it's easier to dodge Sol's questions. more acceptable to spend time around, if it comes to that.]
[I'm still laughing. But anyway, no, maybe be less casual about potentially being dead? But if Shirasu's leaving it at that so will Sol.]
You mean getting good at using it? [There's a considering sort of sound.] When I was first learning I had to practice a lot. I don't know if you'd like my method, actually.
[Shrug!] The thing you have to remember is that once you have the ability it's about tapping into it instead of thinking about the fact it's there. Like…"I should be able to do this" instead of "I can do this?" It helps.
Something like that. [Sol doesn't seem bothered here.] That's what the new areas are for, too. Your elements are there so you can learn to work with them better.
…the beach is nice. And there's lots of tide pools inside the castle you can work with. Going in knowing it's going to be small also helps. [Less frustrating.] You could probably fight crabs if you wanted.
At least there aren't any huge expectations? [Haha.] ...it really does help to train there. You're more in tune with the magic when you're in your own element.

I don't think your alignment can change. That's the one thing. [Powers, possibly, but probably not the alignment.]

but Shirasu nods, taking that in.]
That seems a simple enough change to make-- though what makes you say I might not like your methods?
[There's only one way to find out, tbh, so. Spill.]

Usually they involved combat. A lot of combat against stuff that'll fight back.

[He looks like he's considering that
very thoroughly, actually.]
It'd be good for developing a faster reaction time and creative uses...

I'll just begin with that, I think. I'd rather not share mine with an opponent.
[he'd also rather not let Hisoka figure out he can fight just yet.]

[[That's a joke.]
no subject
I know you said it would be small, but for crabs to be an appropriate opponent... I might be a little more concerned for myself, now.
[There's no smile, but he at least sounds kind of amused.]

[He may or may not check back in.]
If you think you might be able to offer further advice, that is.

That sort of sounds like a challenge, Shirasu.

[-chan?? Whatever, they get this either way.]

[Will they offer advice? Maybe.]
