<div class="floatleft">(http://oi67.tinypic.com/30rp8i0.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Shizuma Nori (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257738.msg12729551#msg12729551)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Flashback - a few days before school starts, a little after 7am<br/><strong>With:</strong>Taro + Open<br/><hr/><br/>Shizuma giggled as Taro lost himself in his thoughts as she continued to talk about her powers. She found it rather adorable how his face went a little slack as his focus shifted from the real world to his own mental landscape. The smile she favored him with a warm smile as she waited for him to return his attention to her. She did wonder what was on his mind, but trusted he'd share his thoughts when he was ready to.<br/><br/>"I have been able to ask them to smash into a target, they instinctively understand the notion of wind shear," Shizuma shared with Taro, wondering if that would help him. "I'm still learning, truth be told. I mean, some things that are easy for us to appreciate is hard to translate for them," she admitted. "I never told the researchers, but when I tried things their way, it never really worked out. So I'd pretend, and instead focus on letting the wind show me what it wanted me to see," she said in low tones like she was sharing an important secret. She did notice how Taro was talking to her, but she noticed the effort he was making to be open minded.<br/><br/>The surprise in Taro's eyes was oddly unexpected by Shizuma, but it did cause her to think back to when her powers were still new and she had to adjust to them. She got a cutely thoughtful look on her face as his questions and nodded as the next questions he asked her brought her attention back to him. "They have their way of doing things and don't like it when someone tries to make them do things a different way. They're not shy about letting me know they're upset... and have decided embarrassing me is a good way to make sure I won't make the same mistake twice," she says cagily, trying to avoid going into the details of her past 'punishments'.
