He seemed ... [pause] a little creeped out when I showed him what I was capable of.

[not about the strength part. How at some point he'd been developing scarring from using it]

But I'll trust him.

Is it weird I feel a little overprotective of my ability?

[setright]

Is that how your shirt came off?

[SORRY DELSIN this is what you get for sharing such things with Fetch.]

Nah. I wasn't too thrilled when he was suddenly shooting neon, too. You get used to it, though. Kinda nice not being the only one who can do what you can do after a while.

[hydraated]

[WOW UM.] He hit me in the chest with about six pounds of metal. I wanted to make sure I didn't have a broken sternum.

[Did you enjoy the show?

He's watching the video intently for a moment before he smiles thinly]

I'll do it.

[And guess what hey you get...almost...but not quite a smile] Doesn't even have to be a shirts and skins game. He just has to promise not to use it against me.

[setright]

[That is one heavy sigh.]

Maybe instead of being jealous, D can hit the gym once in a while.

[Whoops did she say that aloud?]

Anyway, cool. I'll let him know.

[hydraated]

[he thinks of Reggie for a moment] ...I'll train him. I mean if he's interested.

[It builds interest,builds rapport...] People should know how to defend themselves without abilities here. It makes them formidable.

[Not like Reggie. Reggie's getting the whole kit and kaboodle but if Delsin wants a six pack...]

Y'know, if you'd like to see that on him.

[setright]

[Fetch snorts.]

He'll never leave you alone.

[hydraated]

I don't mind.

[He liked having a younger brother figure.

He liked having Fitz. He liked Fitz and that pod should have floated.

He runs a hand over his face]

Or he could pay me that could work too.

[IT'S HARD. you two have been nice to him.]

[setright]

Good luck with that. He just got canned.

[hydraated]

...What was he doing?

[setright]

Working for some TV censorship company or something like that. [Totally him.]

[hydraated]

...censorship company?

[That doesn't sound good at all.]

[setright]

Like tits and f-bombs I guess. Doubt he was even there long enough to do even see one nip.

[hydraated]

[There's a light chuckle] I suppose I should be glad he got fired.

[setright]

He'll be your new pizza delivery boy in no time.

[hydraated]

He seems smarter then that.

[Degree of contempt for customer service officials. High.]

What did you do? I never asked.

[setright]

Here? I work retail at some clothing store. Not too bad. Before? Being public enemy number one was sorta my full time job.

[hydraated]

[once upon a time he really wouldn't have given her the time of day.]

...Having abilities made you better?

[setright]

Depends. I could take just about anyone in a brawl, but being homeless and poor didn't really make me better at anything but street smarts.

[hydraated]

[So quiet. So very quiet on Ward's end. Then.]

...I used to live in the woods. So all I had was...survivalist smarts. We kind of match.

[setright]

I don't know how to skin a bear or anything.

[hydraated]

[This is so sad] Neither do I. I was...trying to make a joke.

[Deer but not bears. Wolves - once, the once. but not bears.]

....I can grow a mean tomato.

[setright]

[She snorts.] I was joking, too. Gardening seems a lot more... sane.

[hydraated]

Well when you're on your own you have to do what you have to to survive. I wouldn't... If there had been bears I would have had to do what I had to do.

You understand that right? Doing what you have to?

[setright]

[Fetch is getting the distinct feeling this guy is reaching to feel better about himself.]

You about to drop a bomb on me?

[hydraated]

What?! No!

[literally or figuratively?]

No you're...you and your buddy are pretty much the only people who haven't wanted to watch me...boil or burn alive since getting here.

[that's a weakness. He sees it right away. Maybe talking about it will help more]

...Sorry like I said. I'm not that good with people.
