[color=Deepskyblue][h1][center]Aiden Cross[/center][/h1][/color] [color=Deepskyblue][i]So she can sense things like that, huh. . . interesting.[/i][/color] Aiden thought as his outward expression shifted into one of nervous embarrassment that most felt when got in a lie, as well as having their intentions exposed, or so he would have her think. [color=Deepskyblue]"I didn't really have coffee in mind, per se, but I did kind of what to keep talking with you. I saw you head down here and used my ability to see how far down it went so we could meet up again, only to find that it went much deeper than I thought. I was curious, and determined, so I started to fiddle with one of the elevators a little to head down. Before I could, though, some other electro-kinetic hijacked the entire system, completely pushing me out of it and making everything malfunction. I'm lucky the thing didn't go sailing down the whole way here or else I'd be as thin as a pancake right now." Chuckling again, Aiden wondered how his current ploy would fair. Unlike before, where he relied on his natural talents, he enacted his ability to regulate all of his body functions via hi nervous systems, ceasing any readable irregularities before they could even begin to form. It was something he'd done a lot, and it had an effect on his performances, making them seem much more believable and realistic though he didn't know why. As such, she shouldn't be able to detect that he was lying about the second electrokinetic, at least, not with the use of her ability. He could deal with anything if she was just a naturally suspicious person. Rubbing the back of his head, Aiden kept the act going as he explained his intentions, and his hiding of ability, further. [color=Deepskyblue]"I'm sorry about lying, but I can't really have the whole world knowing about my, well. . . 'talents'. WHile Pyramid city is pretty accepting of Esper's and whatnot, the rest of the world is pretty hostile, as I'm sure you know. My critics already target me for living in one of these cities, so if it came out that I was an Esper myself, it'd tank my career."[/color] Aiden gave a sigh as he sat down in a nearby chair, hands steepled infront of him. [color=Deepskyblue]"I know that it's kind of a sucky thing to say, but that's how the world is outside of places like this. Harsh and cruel, with little care for those who reside in it. that's kind of why I wanted to talk with you more. Even though you're quite a bit younger than I am, you inspire me with how you're able to remain such a humble and kind person, despite the terrifying power you have. Out of all the lv 10's, you're the only one that still seems like a human being after you awakened your power. It's truly amazing to me, and I think that with someone like you helping out in a place like this, the world might get less harsh in the future.[/color] Aiden lefted his head up with a smile, before turning to look in the direction the student's had gone, seeming to feel a bit sheepish in having interrupted class in such away. In reality, he was wondering whether or not Clara had seen what he'd done on the news yet. [color=Deepskyblue]So, uh, since you're free at the moment, and I'm really sorry about the interruption, maybe we should go and see what's going on up top? I don't think it was anything serious, but the guy I felt while mucking with the system seemed ridiculously strong, so better to be safe then sorry. Then, if things are alright, would you be up for coffee? I know a place not too far from here.[/color] [@Feisty-Pants]
