As Nyx made the effort to reassure him and restart the hugging game, Chase gently,<span style="font-style: italic">ever</span>so gently, wrapped his arms around her frame. "Then you're not afraid of me anymore?" he asked quietly. Hours ago, he'd told his nurse so confidently that he wasn't a child, but in some ways, he was. There were still parts of him that were very fragile.<br/><br/>"That's good," he said, smiling weakly. "And it would be silly anyway; to not be afraid when I tell you I've killed, then fear me for stepping on a cat's tail." He paused, frowning, "But that was strange. It was like, for a moment, I caught a glimpse of your world. I said that controlling abilities is all about wanting it, and I wanted to stop Zero from hurting you, but... that's-- seeing them-- is an ability I've never had before. I wonder if it can really work that way... just by wanting it..."<br/><br/>Chase smiled. "It was kind of neat, to be honest, but it made my head hurt a lot. Maybe 'cause that's not the gift I was born with?" he paused. "Well, I've met two other people with special powers, so I think that's enough that we give us a name. I don't know how many of us there are out there, there might be hundreds, or we might be some of the first." He smiled playfully, "We could be like the pioneers! We can look for others, and teach them what we know. It sounds like a really fun game to me... But I'm getting ahead of myself, sorry. Hmm... how about RyÅga, then? It, uh, means surpassing, outdoing, or superior. Sounds vain, I guess... but its kinda true, right?"
