IF MY LIFE IS GOING
TO MEAN ANYTHING,
I HAVE TO LIVE IT
MYSELF.

Deniz couldn't help but chuckle at the other's enthusiasm, finding her grin infectious. Deciding that he would definitely want to keep her around as a friend already, he committed her name to memory.
As she began to chatter on, he listened with an awkward amused expression, nodding along. She wanted him to teach her? His brows furrowed and he cocked his head to the side. Everything he knew was self-taught and from essentially living under the water for... awhile. "I'll be honest with ya, Paola, I taught myself what I know so I don't really know exactly how to teach you." He gave her a sheepish smile. Realize that sounded more like a no, he held up his hands in a 'wait' motion.
"I'm willin'! I'm just warning you!" He nodded, seemingly satisfied with himself. He nodded along to her comment about fire, understanding. That is all fire was, is pure energy. Controlling water, especially the sea, was different. "that's the thing, right? You can't control the water, you have to ask it. Fire needs to be created, right? It comes from energy." he paused, unsure if he was just spouting nonsense or not. "Be it lightning striking a tree or flint against steel, it has to be created. Water? Look at the ocean. When we stand and do nothing, it continues to move, to rise and fall."
He turned to face the ocean, looking out upon its great scape. "When you control fire, you don't need a source, correct?" He honestly wasn't sure on this, he hadn't seen many fire benders outside of occasionally Paola from afar. She never seemed to have a source, though. "Water isn't like that." He lifted a hand from his side, making a scooping motion with his hand. As he did so, a small bulb of water lifted from the water. "My hand guides the uh, my hand guides the water right?" To show as such, he brought the lifted hand between them, the ever-moving water ball between them.
