[It was a focused, nasal snort as he thought about Spock's words for a second. The events of June had given him more incentive to try to contact the local spirits over the last few months, but the only one that he had any success with was Kipinn. He was the wind elemental, and he seemed to be moderately friendly. It was normal for a person to have relatively decent mastery of Kipinn's teaching's after a short while, but the most that Lupin could manage so far was a gust here or there.
He knew that it was possible to muffle close sounds with those skills, once full mastery was reached. The infiltrator in him wanted to do that.
However, a recent conversation with his doctor and a friend had given him the extra push to try contacting Eferin, the fire spirit. Understanding was a little easier because he and Lupin had similar, blustering temperaments, but he hadn't been able to learn anything yet.
