As Peter rose out of his bow, he tried in vain to straighten out his outfit, the tips of his ears red with embarrassment. ”I’m sorry. I was... I was excited, and I wanted to come and... show you quickly.”
Holding out his hand, Peter revealed the sphere of water that he had been cradling since he discovered he could make it. Somehow, it seemed less impressive now, with Zariah actually watching him, but he couldn’t back away now. With a little effort, he moved the sphere, coiling it smoothly between his fingers without letting the water touch his skin, then returning it to its initial sphere shape.
”You told me to... work on my abilities, and I have.” Peter nodded as he spoke, then dropped his eyes to the ground. ”I know I... it needs more. But I’m going to practice, and make it better. More useful for you.”
PET
he is trying to tell you that there is some sort of shining star now buried deep inside him and he has to dig it out with a knife.
