"I don't think the window opens, if you're trying to do that," he said with a slight smile.

"It's a long way down, anyway. I take it you can handle the fall?"

[wisecracked]

"One of these windows has to open. I mean, isn't it like some kind of fire safety violation if they don't?" She moved to the next, one of them had to. Although she wasn't even seeing an locks yet.

"Who said anything about falling?"

[hierophant_green]

"They're still breakable, if there is a fire, even if they don't open," he said rather matter-of-factly.

"Handling the fall doesn't necessarily mean hitting the ground. You could miss the ground." Which would result in flight, of course.

[wisecracked]

She gave the windows a dirty look, like it's all their fault they don't open. She could just break them but she'd really rather avoid losing weekend privileges or whatever other punishment she'd end up saddled with.

"See gravity has to actually do anything before it's considered falling. Now if I just go in the opposite direction of the ground it's most certainly not falling anymore, is it?"

[hierophant_green]

"Don't break the windows, though. I don't want to be responsible for a bad decision." That usually got him in trouble, too, which he was not okay with.

"So you can fly, then?"

[wisecracked]

"I'm not going to. Unless I can call it an accident." But still, she wasn't going to break the windows. She'd just have to find her way outside another way.

She looked over at him and grinned widely, "And so much more. I only have, like, the best ability ever."

It was better than his, that's for sure. Kakyoin was hesitant to reveal what his mutation allowed; even though he was with people like himself, he still disliked the thought of standing out. It was alien to even think there were others like him. Plus, he thought that his powers were only good for harming others -- not something he was interested in doing.

He realized that he'd gone silent for some time, then looked up from his daze.

"May I ask what it is, exactly?" He was curious now, of course.

Kenzi pursed her lips and let out a thoughtful hum. "How about this? I'll show you mine if you show me yours?"

She grinned and even snickered at her choice of words.

Kakyoin laughed at the wording, as well. For as mature as he appeared, he was still a teenager, after all.

That deal was only fair, after all, but he hesitated. He didn't like to demonstrate it at all. He sighed and forced a smile. He set down his sketchbook and turned his palms upward. An emerald-like substance formed in his hands.

"I can do almost anything with this. It's mildly poisonous to everyone but me, so don't touch it."

[wisecracked]

Kenzi let out an semi-impressed noise as she leaned in to get a closer look. She was reaching out to touch it but when he gave his warning she frowned and quickly pulled her hand back. "What does 'nearly anything' entail exactly?"
