Arvid had wondered himself about powers, once or twice before. Occasionally he had pondered whether or not someone could force themselves to have powers. Through sheer might alone or some kind of experimentation, he wasn't sure, but it was definitely an interesting prospect. The dire wolf had never quite gone to the lengths that Ruven had, but he did occasionally find himself looking at a fire a bit longer than usual, wondering if he could somehow bend the flames to his will. Eventually, though, he had given up on dreams like that. Unless he figured out some sure-fire way to force powers into existence, the only way to get them would be to just... wait. So, while in the process of waiting, he had turned to other methods of making himself powerful. Not only himself, but his fellow wanderers as well, hence his experiments with poison-making. That had kept him pretty content for quite a while, so the subject of powers had honestly slipped his mind. Until now, that is.
The pup had just been wandering around that day, lingering around the Hall of Kings as he looked for anything out of the usual. Any plants he could bring back to his home, or maybe even a chip of those old statues that Sojourn had broken, to claim as a souvenir. He didn't stumble upon either of those, however. Instead, he stumbled upon Ruven, seemingly being harassed by several NPCs that seemed rather bitter about... something. A growl had left Arvid then, and he had opened his maw to shout at them and hopefully run them off, but his help seemingly wasn't needed. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Ruven manipulate the water that had been flung at him, tossing it right back in the faces of those that had thought themselves so funny. As the NPCs fled, Arvid made his way over, muttering with no small amount of shock, "Ruven... you know what you just did, right? You used an elemental power... did you know that you could do that?" Once again, the canine's multicolored gaze seemed to be gleaming with fascination, and excitement. Within mere moments, Ruven had been added on to the mental list of names that Arvid kept an eye on – for research purposes.
