Faith watched Landon sit up with more confidence and as such look visibly taller. His wings also stopped subconscioualy covering him as much. He was still a little nervous which let Faith breathe a sigh of relief. He must have some natural resistance to her power. If she'd have made that mistake with mom or dad, they'd never have worried about anything ever again for their entire lives, even if it was something they genuinely needed to worry about. She couldn't afford to slip up like that again. She needed to be much more careful. Her own slight nerves in introducting herself to strangers had caused her to start rambling. Faith could not afford to ramble. Every single sentence out of her mouth needed a great deal of thought, attention and care put behind it. 

He was hesitating slightly in answering her, and this gave her the opportunity to look at him properly. his forearms and lower legs were green and scaly, ending in talons like an anthropomorphic bird of some kind. The rest of him was feathers and fur. She wasn't sure his his head resembled a canine or a giant bat. The fur was thick enough to obscure all of his facial features besides his eyes, and when he opened it, his mouth. It was a combination that should in theory look scary and intimidating. But with Landon's body language and behaviour, it all just made him look more like a pup. During this time another blonde girl walked in with a tight black catsuit and a white cocktail dress over it. She sat down without a word to anyone. Faith thought that costume was a little...indecent, but kept that to herself.

Landon finally gave her his reply, tripping over his words as he gave her both his code name and first name. He then gave a groan of embarrasment and hid himself back inside his wings again. After a beat, Faith gave a slight, quiet giggle. She felt relieved and comforted that she didn't stand out in this group. One of her bigger fears when she'd agreed to join was that she would be in a group full of trained, serious kids who had no time or patience to humor the green new girl. She placed a reassuring hand on one of his wings.

[color=faca20]"Well, it's very nice to meet you, Landon,"[/color] she greeted with a relaxed, casual cheerfulness. [color=faca20]"My code name is Decree. Do you-"[/color]

She was about to ask a question, but it completely slipped her mind never to be found again when after the seemingly last girl arrived, quite late too, the adults addressed her, followed by everybody else. There was apparently supposed to yet one more coming, but she had apparently not showed up. One of the adults then placed a decide on the coffee table, which glowed before leaving behind several small devices. One for each other them, she assumed, though she hadn't been keeping a strict count of everybody in the room. 

When Axiom started explaining what they were, Faith took her hand off Landon's wing, and got to her feet, staring at the devices. These earpieces blocked her powers? So even if she accidentally slipped up in the future, she wouldn't be altering the free will of her friends. Or in extreme cases, altering who they were as people. Not this time. Not anymore. She was positively beaming with the unbridled joy of a child looking at the christmas present they asked Santa for.

There was a loud crash as the door was kicked open, causing Faith to jump and let out a very brief shriek. She turned round to see what the cause of the noise was. There was another teen, who looked very much likle a punk. This must be the ninth member they had been discussing. Faith instantly got the feeling they would not get along. She din't like this girl's attitude, or expression, or behaviour, or piercings. She looked to Landon and saw that the loud noise had caused some of his feathers to fly off and float down around him as he hid himself in his wings. Poor guy. Must not like loud sudden noises. Maybe his power made his hearing sensetive too. He didn't have human ears, after all. It had shocked Faith too. She was glad she hadn't picked one of the cases up, because she would definitely have dropped it.

Faith continued to silently watch Evie disapprovingly through her own white venetian mask as the ninth Ward walked into the room properly.
