“That was different!” Grace protested as she looked over to Sebastian. However after the initial snap she looked down slightly, becoming meek again. “I hadn’t let anyone touch me for a long time. I didn’t know how I’d react. Anything could have happened.” She sat there and was quiet for a long while before looking up as Sebastian began to approach her. “Anything could still happen.” She informed him cautiously as she stood up, taking a small step back from him and hiding away from his offered hand. “And I don’t think the school would like me freezing it...”

She sighed softly, looking down. “You’re very persistent aren’t you?” She eventually said, knowing her excuses weren’t going to work with him. He was very different to a lot of the people she’d met. He wasn't afraid, even though he should be. Maybe this place was going to be able to help her, even if she wasn't sure herself if she wanted it yet. Reaching out it was very clear to see how much her hand was shaking. What if this afternoon had been a fluke? What if when she touched him he froze solid or was blasted away? She had no way of knowing.

Closing her eyes at the last minute as she felt his warm skin touch hers Grace waited but felt nothing happen. After a few second she opened her eyes and quickly drew back her hand as she looked around the room. They were now in a big hall that was mostly empty now, but she could see the desks and chairs on the side of the room for if they chose to use it for classes. It would work. Looking over to Sebastian she looked down shyly before asking him to move right away from her, over to the side of the room. Before she hadn't been actively using her powers. She didn’t want to risk them getting out of control and hurting him. “And you promise I’m not going to get in trouble for this?” She checked finally as she moved back into the centre of the room.
