Wind Training (Redeemed! Morro & Lloyd)

(In my redeemed Morro au, Morro cones to live at the monastery with the Ninja after being given another chance at life. He and Lloyd have began to slowly gain trust with each other, and Morro has made an actual effort to make up for everything. The others also eventually agreed to help train Morro, and he becomes the Grey Ninja of Wind and Storms)

Now, he's training Lloyd in return, after Lloyd finds out he can also emulate the power of wind)

(This is not Greenwind. They are literally cousins)

(Lloyd is around 19 while Morro was brought back at the age of 21)

(Also includes some wholesome bonding between cousins, especially at the end, so there will be at least three sections to this.)

Warning: A few curse words, that's all

Lloyd entered the training area outside, seeing that Morro was waiting for him. His cousin was wearing more comfortable and flexible clothing, most of his longer hair tied back.

Morro turned to see Lloyd and smiled, still having the fangs from when he was a ghost."there you are Lloyd, are you ready for your wind training?" He asked the blonde.

Lloyd was quiet for a moment before speaking."well, yes but.....are you sure this is a good idea? I've never even actually used it before. And... I don't want them to think I was turning into you from the past" Lloyd said, referring to, well, when he got possessed all that time ago. This was also why he obviously didn't trust Morro easily at first

Morro's expression softened, walking over and gently ruffling Lloyd's blonde hair."don't worry, you'll be okay. After all, since I learned to actually use my element for good, I have full belief that you can too" his smile widened again, and Lloyd gave a small smile of his own.

"Alright, then I'm ready" The green Ninja said with more confidence this time. Morro lead Lloyd over to a small area with a small pile of leaves.

"Okay, first lesson is easy. Just use the wind to lift the leaves and make them circle around you. Watch me first" the raven haired boy said before raising his hands slightly. Morro focused on the pile, and a few seconds later, a small breeze came and blew the leaves gently upwards, then made them spin slowly around Morro. The wind elemental had a calm look, which meant that how strong the breeze was, depended on how he was feeling.

Lloyd watched, making sure he didn't miss a single move, after all, Wind was an extremely new element for him. The blonde saw Morro use the breeze to pile up the leaves again after a few minutes. His cousin looked at him again. "now, you try it"

Lloyd looked at the pile, concentrating like Morro did. He had to stay calm, and as he did, the leaves began to rise up from their position. But not as high. Morro looked at Lloyd, who looked to be concentrating...a little too hard.

"Lloyd, don't focus too hard, you're barely lifting the leaves" Morro spoke, his voice not raspy, but more softer and clear. Lloyd opened one eye and sighed, the leaves falling to the ground below him." Sorry... I'm not very good at this. I have too much on my mind" The blonde sat down, bringing his knees to his chest.

Morro knelt down beside Lloyd, tucking some of the blonde hair that also had a green streak back behind his ear, making the other look at the ex-villian. "Lloyd, what did you teach me about self doubt? It'll cloud your mind to the point where you're afraid to try at all. Why don't you take that advice yourself and keep trying? The more you try, the more you'll eventually reach a solution"

Lloyd thought to himself for a moment, his bright green eyes looking at the ground then back at Morro. The blonde didn't say anything but nodded and stood up, while Morro stepped back. Lloyd closed his eyes and raised his hands, making sure his mind was only on the leaves.
