[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]

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. ]

[familybusiness]

[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.

[highlyemotional]

[ 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!

[familybusiness]

[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]

[ 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?

[familybusiness]

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]

[ blah blah stuff she'll get back to, right now caroline focuses on one thing. ]

Can you make it snow?

[familybusiness]

Oh, ah, no. It's more like a...beam.

[Elemental finger lasers yay!]

[highlyemotional]

[ her nose crinkles into a disappointed expression. ] Snow would have been cooler.

[familybusiness]

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

[So cheeky.]

[highlyemotional]

Well, now you'll just have to make it up to me. [ punches him in the face with her subtlety tbh. ]

[familybusiness]

[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]

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.

[familybusiness]

I think I can handle that. Anytime I'm not out in the field, you know where to find me.

[highlyemotional]

Awesome! Show me something else, psion boy.

[familybusiness]

[He tilts his head toward the door.]

We better take it to where they do target practice if I'm gonna do that.

[highlyemotional]

Sounds promising. [ hopping up, she sets the book back on the pile and heads out into the hall. ONWARD. ]
