It was a sweet thing to say, despite it not exactly being a compliment to her as a person. She enjoyed making others feel happy, so his smile was comforting to her. It helped her relax a bit. Finally, she sat back against the tree again and set her sketchpad down in the grass before sliding it under her legs. She was determined to not continue to hide herself. It was a difficult thing for her to do, but she knew that she was safe at this school. She didn't need to hide from anyone. She simply needed to take baby steps with it til she no longer felt the need to hide her scars. It would come with time, hopefully.<br/><br/><strong>"That sounds cool,"</strong>she replied to his explanation of his powers. It was an interesting one. And it was a good thing he lived here and not somewhere that didn't get much sun.<strong>"I wish I had something that cool. Except, I burn pretty easily. So maybe not that one, exactly."</strong>She couldn't help but lower her head slightly as she laughed softly at the thought, seeming to hide her smile from him.<strong>"My power has to do with time. I, uh... I can stop time and move freely within it. Makes it look like I can teleport. And I can rewind time up to about a minute, so far. It's hard to control at times. But, it's come in handy here a few times. I slipped and fell flat on my face at one point, but no one remembers but me. But if I do it too much, I start to get scatter-brained. Like, I forget what things actually happened and what things I prevented from happening."</strong><br/><br/>She stopped and looked over to him, looking up into his eyes, hoping he wasn't bored with their conversation. He was so nice to have sat down with her and offer to help her out here and there. It was something at this school that she really enjoyed. There seemed to be a lot of people who simply tried to help the new students feel welcomed and comfortable. It was something she had never felt before and she truly enjoyed it.<br/><br/><strong>"So, could you, like... Walk through fire or melt ice around you? Cause that would be pretty awesome."</strong>His powers sounded so interesting and she was curious how much he could really do.
