I don't kill people! I eat bunnies and bags of blood. I've only ever killed two people, and one was to protect Stefan from... [ her mouth falls open, suddenly taken aback by her inability to remember who the heck it was. ] Someone. The sheriff? I'm not a murderer. The knights found me because I knocked over a blood bank, no murder involved!

[ so in summary, caroline doesn't kill people. in case you missed that. ]

Relax. I'm not accusing you of anything. Wynn would not have let you stay if you were heading into the city for murder sprees.

Not to mention my track record isn't super clean, either. No one here is gonna judge you for doing what you needed to do to survive, especially not stealing from a blood bank versus the alternative.

Sorry. [ she sounds sheepish of her outburst. ] It's especially judgy at home.

Believe me. I get that too.

[It's confession hour, apparently.]

I'm a psion. I'd be considered just as much of a monster back home.

[ misery loves company, son. she moves to flop down on the edge of his bed again, clasping her hands in her lap. ]

Can you set stuff on fire and give vampires aneurysms? [ it's instinct to apply mystic falls logic to everything and when that inevitably fails she starts from the bottom. maybe psions are like witches? ]

[He sits down in the chair at his desk after turning it around to face her.]

Yes and...sort of? It's more of an anyone thing, not just vampires.

[He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. This is clearly a rough topic for him.]
highlyemotional: (☁ inquire)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-03 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
My friend Bonnie, she's a witch, her trick mostly worked on vampires. Actually it was all witches really. [ she makes a thoughtful face, but shakes her head. doesn't matter! ] So what else can you do? I don't really know much about psions.

[ she seems genuinely curious, wide eyes guileless and warm. ]

[The expression on her face relaxes him significantly, his own eyes lighting up a bit, because he's...actually pretty excited about his own abilities. This is still new for him, ok.

He looks over at the stack of books, making a small gesture with his fingers before the top book on the stack lifts up into the air on its own. He makes another few gentle motions with his hands, guiding the book as it floats through the air, heading over to her before stopping and hovering just above her lap.]


Catch.

[ she can't stop the little noise of surprise, nor can she stop the smile that spreads across her face as she holds her hands out so he can let the book drop into them. ]

You're like a comic book superhero!

[He does drop it the last inch or two into her hand, and it's pretty easy to tell that he's trying really hard not to grin like a total idiot as he sheepishly rubs the back of his neck.]

I don't know about that.
highlyemotional: (☁ but but...)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-05 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ she points the book at him like excuse you, i'm the one that gets to label people superheroes, not you. ]

What else can you do?

[personal profile] familybusiness 2016-03-06 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the thing with the fire? It's not just fire. I can make it, say, electricity. Or cold.

[He shrugs a bit sheepishly.]

Other than that, I'm still working on it. The whole thing is kind of new to me, since until recently I was...trying to suppress it. Ignore it.
highlyemotional: (☁ eep!)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-06 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ blah blah stuff she'll get back to, right now caroline focuses on one thing. ]

Can you make it snow?

[personal profile] familybusiness 2016-03-08 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, ah, no. It's more like a...beam.

[Elemental finger lasers yay!]
highlyemotional: (☁ but mom!)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-09 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ her nose crinkles into a disappointed expression. ] Snow would have been cooler.

I'm sorry I couldn't be the ice princess you wanted.

[So cheeky.]
highlyemotional: (☁ tempted)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-10 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, now you'll just have to make it up to me. [ punches him in the face with her subtlety tbh. ]

[His wisdom check was a whole 3. I don't even know what to say.]

I'm not sure how I'll do that, but we'll see.
highlyemotional: (☁ delight)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-16 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'll figure something out. Like, oh, you we can have weekly study dates where you tutor me on things that go bump in the night here.

[personal profile] familybusiness 2016-03-17 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I can handle that. Anytime I'm not out in the field, you know where to find me.
highlyemotional: (☁ beauty)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Show me something else, psion boy.

[He tilts his head toward the door.]

We better take it to where they do target practice if I'm gonna do that.
highlyemotional: (☁ looking)

[personal profile] highlyemotional 2016-03-24 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds promising. [ hopping up, she sets the book back on the pile and heads out into the hall. ONWARD. ]
