Louisa thought it was something and jumped from the desk striding toward Dal, "It was done! You did it! It just faded away too quickly!" She said excitedly.

He wasn't happy. She stood close to him and looked up at his face and saw... disappointment? Sadness? Her excitement died away, "Dal.. you did it. Well, almost. Come on. You're one step away from a full one! You can do it!" She was shaking his arm gently in an attempt to 'wake him up' from the moment. "I did a mist in my second try! You can do even better!" Her voice was pleading. He helped her do it. He was so good. She wasn't going to let him surrender or look weak- he was her hero...

"Dal...." She sighed one last time before dropping her hand from his arm.

Dallin didn't look at Louisa as she came up close to him. He listened to her, though, and tried to make himself believe what she was saying. It wasn't a big deal that he couldn't do it - it just took practice. He'd said that himself and now he was being hypocritical. He should just try again and he would get it soon. It wasn't a big deal; he just needed a different memory.

When she shook his arm he finally looked at her, forcing a small smile on his face. "You're right." Whether he was telling her that or telling himself that he didn't know. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "How about... how about you try again?" It would give him a chance to think of another memory.

He turned around swiftly, but another idea struck him and he looked back at her over his shoulder. "Actually..." his voice was suddenly shy. "Do you wanna try doing it together?" Of course he didn't know what good it would do... but it was worth a shot.
