"I understand your desire to do something and to stand up to those you see as bullies, and you are correct, standing up to them is a very valid way to deal with them. But standing up to them does not also have to mean fighting with them." She pauses for a moment stepping away from the blond woman slightly.<strong>"Each of us, as I have said have great power. And I believe we should use that power for the betterment of humanity. Not to attack people who cannot possibly defend themselves against us."</strong><br/><br/>She pauses for a moment once again, glancing down.<strong>"I killed a man once."</strong>She states bluntly.<strong>"I used my powers on him until he was dead. And for no reason other than I was scared. I could have scared him away, or flew to safety, or done anything but extinguish a life. I do not expect you to understand, nor to feel the same way. But I strongly believe that we have already failed if a conflict comes to the point in which people are seriously hurt or killed."</strong><br/><br/>She sighs once again, her full lips pressed together in a soft pursing.<strong>"Feel free to design a costume to your own liking as we each have. My own is... quite simplistic at the moment, and hopefully I will get the chance to come up with something more 'flashy' but... Well if you require any materials to create a costume of your design, I can help you with that."</strong>
