Lucy raised her hand slightly. “I suppose I could go,” She said gingerly, now looking up.

Lucy raised her hand slightly. “I suppose I could go,” She said gingerly, now looking up.
"Lucy, alright." He says, manifesting another book. "Read." He prompts, gently.

Lucy sets her own spell book aside and takes the one that Bennet gives her. She hesitates, then reads the words clearly.
"Now, stretch out your arms, and do this with your hands." He says, making a triangular shape, with his thumb and index fingers from both hands.

Lucy watched him do it, then held out her arms, making the same symbol with her hands.
"Now, focus everything you have into that point, in the fire, and say 'Feretrum!'" He instructs.

A lump formed in Lucy’s throat as she eyed the fire, but she focused her energy towards it and sharply said, “Feretrum!”
With that, a hole formed in the pit, and swallows the flames up, burying them. "Well done!" He congratulates her for it.

Lucy let out a sigh of relief, the tension seeming to drain from her body. “Thank you,” She said softly. She handed the book back over to him, stepping back to where she had been standing before.
It's yours." He said. "As a souvenir, if you want it?" He paused. "Next?"
Robin stepped forward awkwardly. "Er, I can go?" He felt very small and weak in comparison to the others

“Really? Thank you,” Lucy gave Bennett a bright smile, taking the book and looking down at it. She would look through it later, she decided. She looked at Robin, giving him an encouraging smile.
"Come on up!" Bennett encouraged.
He came closer to Bennett and the other man, Orchid watching from afar.
"Now." Bennett handed him the spell book meant exclusively for nature, and had him read a section.
Robin swiftly read the passage, which he already knew would be the easiest part. He looked up after finishing, waiting for further instruction.
Maroon was vaguely aware of the others as he slept on the floor.
"Now simply hold your hand out, and say, Arach, focus some energy into your palm." Bennett says.
He nervously held out his hand, trying to copy Bennett's position. "A-Arach." His palm glowed, but nothing happened. He tried again with the same result.
In a small flash of neon light, a butterfly appeared on his hand. "You can summon all sorts of small insects and creatures now!" Bennett explained.

Lucy watched as the butterfly appeared. “Good job, Robin,” she said cheerfully.
Robin looked at the butterfly for a moment, watching in wonder as it fluttered from his hand. He was glad that he was taught this kind of magic rather than fire. He had a feeling he wouldn't want to use fire any time soon. He had had bad experiences with it…

Lucy chuckled at Robin’s expression and leaned back against a wall. She took off her glasses for a moment, rubbing at her eyes.
"How many can I make?" Robin asked breathlessly, still watching the butterfly flying around his head in awe.
"As many as you can afford!" Bennett says.
Robin sat down next to a tree and began surrounding himself with butterflies and small birds, looking overjoyed.
Bennett peered over at Lucy, who seemed tired.
"You okay?" He said. "I can get us all a room in an inn if you want."

“That would be nice, I haven’t gotten much sleep lately,” Lucy said, smiling greatfully.
"Alright, you guys stay here, I'll get our inn." He vanished, reappearing somewhere else.
"This is amazing!" Robin was holding his arms out, several birds on each. A few dozen butterflies circled his head.
