Leave it to Lee to make things difficult. She could have just kept pushing and picking her until Payton got all angry and defensive and stormed off, or something else suitably dramatic, but no. She had to go and be all sweet and reasonable and leave her younger sister feeling guilty, like she was wrong to keep her secrets.<br/><br/>Truthfully, the younger woman wasn't exactly sure why she felt guilty at all. It wasn't as though she had done anything wrong—this time—and she couldn't actually hurt anyone with her powers. Empathy and premonitions were pretty much passive abilities and on the whole fairly boring, when working correctly anyhow. Really, what was she going to do? Feel someone to death? Payton let out a light snort as she watched Lee play with her plants.<br/><br/>She held out all of five minutes before her mouth opened of its own accord and words came tumbling out loud enough to carry to her sister. <strong>“Look... I'm sorry. I don't mean to lie to you. Its just... well,”</strong> she hesitated now. She knew Lee was right. To be fair, she should probably just ask her father about her powers but they weren't exactly on good terms at the moment and she wouldn't be able to bear it if she called him and he didn't come. Still, while she didn't want her family all worried about how to “fix” her, maybe they did at least need to know her magic was back, especially if Wyatt's dream was a message of sorts. <br/><br/>Huffing again she hunched further into her hoodie and made her way closer to Lee, wanting to keep her voice down so no one overheard her. <strong>“Okay, look. Its not some big life or death secret, its just...  You know how I have m-mom's old room, right?”</strong> She waited until she was sure she had Lee's attention before she continued, <strong>“Well, a couple months ago I found something. A piece of paper with some writing on it, fairly sure it was mo- <em>hers</em>. I might have been just a little curious, so I tried to make out what it said. Course, being the bright girl I usually am, I read the words out loud and then... well... actually I didn't feel anything just then but a few days later I'm minding my own business and...”</strong> She sighed and rubbed her forehead. <strong>“Lee I think... well no, I <em>know</em>, my magic is back somehow. Only problem is, its not so easy as it was before.”</strong></span></span>
