Nox couldn't but laugh at Jay's dare. But it was just that a dare and he couldn't refuse it. It wasn't like he cared one way or the other if he lost he lost. Nox knew he was right, but he questioned his ability to prove it to Jay. He'd never shown someone they could use the power of the gods. He'd broken through preconceived notions of requirements, but to teach someone they really could do miraculous things.
Nox pulled out his wallet and set aside 100 credits. "You have a deal. Hundred bucks and naked through the mansion yelling 'I'm a pretty girl'"
Nox let the fireball hang in mid air as he stepped around it and dropped the wall of air to offer Jay his hand. A gentleman's contract!
Nox smiled as he walked back to his fireball still fluttering in the air where he left it and erected the wall of air again a little further out than he had before. Nox continued his kata as gave Jay a little background and to take away some of the expectation of the next action. "The first time I touched the source of power, I was saving my sister from an Oni. She was about to be pummeled into a cave wall and I reached out and a fireball shot from my hand. The sear force of the blow and the fire killed the beast. We expect my sister first showed her ability a year before when she healed me from a bad fall - one I likely would have died from. Most that I know of spark from some sort of tragedy or some freak event. The power is a dark light just out of sight. It will call to you and you will wrap it up and bend it to your will. It must be controlled or it will burn you a live."
And without warning Nox flung the fireball at Jay. It would splatter harmlessly against a wall of air a foot away from where Jay stood. In that moment of release Nox wondered how many tries he'd get to prove it to him. One would be fine because Nox really knew no other way than this to prove it. It was his only option.
