Any merry little thought )
[The chocolate frog wrapper poking out of her pocket is the only hint that it was getting to her.]
[But if she could keep her composure during those times those foul beast's presence reminded her of, she could keep her composure now. Still, any sort of means to banish these feelings, the better in her opinion. Especially if they might get in. She certainly didn't want to encounter them and be defenseless. Not against creatures like those.]
[So she was already pulling out her wand to try her hand at the charm.]

[He's watching Akako closely though, as he's curious how a real witch from a different world will handle a spell like this.]

[Besides, it was a chance to actually show off in front of him. This was where she naturally excels and cares about excelling and surely something will impress him at some point. To maybe make a look of wonder actually appear on his face, how many people could say they could do that? And it was totally a legitimate way to work on making him hers so he could be her slave. Totally just that reason.]
[She focused on that type of feeling and made the motions.] Expecto Patronum!
[...the words had been said exactly, the wand movements mimicking their teacher's perfectly. On a purely technical aspect, the casting had been absolutely perfect.]
[But the joy was nowhere strong enough and whatever little wisp of something the spell had made could so easily be missed with just blinking at the right moment.]

Guess you need a happier thought.
[He will give her an encouraging push in that direction though, have a randomly appearing rose]

[Before the anger could bring down her mood even more, however, the rose appeared with the encouragement.] Ah...
[This time, the surprise is obvious as she takes the rose.]
...yes, I suppose it really does need a more special thought. It wouldnt be an advanced apell otherwise.

You may proceed once again, my lady.

[Yes, that's it. Being in the place she belongs, in the center of attention. Like when she first arrived in Ekoda and immediately had all the boys eating out of the palm of her hand. Save for Kaito. But that didn't matter. All the attention, all the compliments, the love letters, the gifts. She would focus on that.]
[She raised her wand to cast, thinking of all the attention and gifts, the feelings those gave her. And yet, her mind strayed to that flower in her hair as she thought to cast, the feeling of the one person she could never control encouraging her.]
Expecto Patronum! [There was some advantage to frivolity as the difference was obvious. The white vapor came, strong and distinct in it's color. It wasn't a corporeal ( ... )

[ He does not smile, nor offer much more encouragment. ]
I will remind you to place your focus solely on that memory when you cast the spell. The moment you lose the concentration, is the moment the spell fails.
You do not need me to tell you what happens when such a spell fails against a true opponent.

Understood, Professor. [In truth, she wasn't surprised about the concentration. It had been deliberate. She saw how the spell was going and knew it wasn't going to get stronger, so she didn't force it. She wouldn't accept a spell that was half done. Especially not to these creatures that were starting to get even through her walls.]
[She didn't need encouragement or a smile. When Akako decided to do something, she followed through on it with a single minded obsession. She would get the spell, one way or another. She just had to keep trying.]
