Do you even tan when you're out in the sun?"</strong>she asked, curiously. He didn't seem to have any tan lines that she could see. He was definitely tan, but that could possibly be just how his skin is naturally.<strong>"If you never get a tan, it would mean that your body is absorbing the sun's rays too quickly to affect your skin. So, it would mean I would never burn, but also never get less pale than I already am,"</strong>she teased with a smile, picking fun at her own complexion. She had very fair skin after years of covering up completely and not going outside for the sake of going outside. When she did used to get sun, though, she would burn easily and more freckles would start to appear. Her face and shoulders were always the first to burn.<br/><br/>Hourglass seemed a bit surprised with his reaction to her power. She always thought of it as more of a curse than anything. Sure, she could stop time and move about freely or rewind and do things over again, but she had a price to pay for doing either. Her vertigo was not something that was pleasant at all. And the days that repeated themselves... They were torture at times. If she had the choice to be a mutant and have these abilities or be a normal person, she would choose the latter. All she ever wanted was a normal life.<br/><br/><strong>"I may have done so already,"</strong>she replied with a soft chuckle.<strong> "You look pretty silly with a purple uni-brow,"</strong>she teased with a smile before, without thought, turning slightly to face him. Her shoulder rested against the tree and her legs stayed bent and together as they rested in the grass. She was beginning to relax and open up to him more.<br/><br/><strong>"Well, as long as you stay low to the ground, the smoke shouldn't be too much of an issue. But you might wanna see it the Professor can get you fitted with some fire-proof clothes," </strong>she replied, blushing lightly at the quick thought of Sunspot being naked. She quickly pushed it from her mind, though.<strong>"Well, if you can change the temperature, I'm sure you can melt ice, so long as you stay conscious while encased in it. Do your powers work while you're sleeping? Like, do they keep you at the optimal temperature? So, like, if it was really cold in your room, would it keep you warm?" </strong>His powers were so very interesting to her. Maybe it was because she was a nerd and always liked to learn more. Or maybe she just wanted to keep him around to talk with her.
