But he wasn't too concerned about Mordaunt at the moment. His attention turned to the kid, and he had to think a moment before answering. "It is, in a way. Depending on intention and focus. Such control is often utilized when the patronus needs to carry a message. But you could probably manage it for other things." His patronus skittered back as the bear reappeared, going to try and hop on its back for a ride. "Otherwise they can kind of be left to their own devices, a mixture of the representative animal behavior and your internal thoughts, intentions and emotions."
Happiness. He felt genuine happiness as he watched his patronus roll over the place, and kept on sustaining that ‘connection’ with his animal guardian, and his happy memory, which now became his core. Surprisingly, he did not feel exhausted at all after casting the patronus three times in a row, as he let that blinding, white energy inside him supply his patronus.
“I see...” obviously, he was still at awe with the recent revelation of his spirit guardian. But...a polar bear though? Ethan felt the need to ask WHY he got a polar bear for a patronus, but, just like what the Professor told them earlier, the differing opinion of his peers WILL corrupt his patronus. He didn’t want that to happen, thank you very much. What mattered at that moment was not the patronus per se, but the revelation of the power and strength of his memory. Ever since that fateful day, he knew that, for him, that moment was very special and sacred.
“I have this...theory professor,” Ethan started as he watched his patronus give the otter a bear hug.
“In order to sustain my patronus, I suppose I shouldn’t invest in connecting with it physically...like...staring at it to make sure that it won’t go away, but rather, connect to it...emotionally...” Did he...make sense? “
Like...how masters and padawans connect even if they’re lightyears apart? They have this...sort of ‘bond’ invested in the Force.” Oh maaaaan. Did he go overboard?
“Sorry, I’m nerding out. Let me know sir, if my patronus will stay behind...” he did not even wait for Dakest to respond, and just went on to shut his eyes and turned his back away from the man and his patronus. As he did so, he reached out to his guardian emotionally...like...like, the Force.
“Did...did it work?” he called out.
