Although Isaac had been hoping to keep things easy between them he could feel the tension build and noticed the way Vivid kept looking at the coyote. The animated bone animal made his father uncomfortable as well but Mr. Payne never said anything about it. Especially since Isaac had used his abilities more then once for the benefit of taxidermy and had helped to give their small business a shinning reputation. All the same it made it more awkward, his dog was harmless in comparison to get explosive power.<br/><br/>"Ya... Sort of I guess, " he said it awkwardly and nudged the coyote with his foot. The beast got up with a rattling of bones and shook as though it was a real animal shaking out it's fur, another nudge and the coyote wandered off to Isaacs room.<br/><br/>A long silence drew out after that when Mr. Payne entered the room. "So if you could just not tell anyone about my power -- w-well I'm sure you know how it is. But I mean even others like us..." Isaac rubbed his hands on his pants to get the sweat from them. "As much as it is cool to know another - uh - parahuman I just want to keep... In the closet - so to speak. "<br/><br/>The news report came back on the television and Mr. Payne promptly changed it to another channel, and then another as he began the stereotypical male chanel flipper looking for something less awkward. "So I guess you kids didn't get much done on your homework then, huh?"<br/><br/>"Um, no we didn't. I'm thinking we should change the topic of our project since I doubt anyone wants us going in the forest again," Isaac said, grabbing the change of subject happily.
