[quote=@Mistress Dizzy] [quote=@Eviledd1984] Nicholas stared at her for a few seconds before a grin came onto his face,"Am I really that easy to read?" He asked her sitting down beside the machine she would be using."Mhm then...No i do not know if I should..." Nicholas thought to himself his eyes close for a moment thinking of what to say next but couldn't find the right thin to say,He thought back to what his mother said to him."Maybe later" He said now opening his eyes that glimmered in the light. "But first we need to work on your muscles..." Nicholas said now rather cheerfully to her. [/quote] "You're easy for me to read, but probably not for others. I've spent my lifetime learning to discern people's emotions before I get close enough to feel them." She looked at the machine, and was curious about the expression on Nicholas' face. Was he tearing up? She wouldn't force him, though. "Okay, how do I use this?" [quote=@Caits] Sometimes Connor missed being home, seeing his parents every day. He sometimes wondered what it would of been like if he hadn't come here. And that thought scared him. Because he could picture it, so easily. Going to college, just floating along, No matter what, hhe would be thankful he came here. He watched his mother for a few moments, food forgotten. And he couldn't help but smile as his father came on screen, sneaking up on his mother, who laughed or he imagined so. He switched the phone off, He looked around, and within seconds saw Kijani. Was she eating pancakes? He had never seen her eat pancakes. She didn't even seem to be aware of them. He rose, winding through the tables, and people to her. He knew something was up, but didn't know what. [/quote] Kijani didn't know how long Connor had been near her. She'd been shoveling in pancakes without even tasting them, her mind spinning in circles about her plan, the plan she really didn't want to make. But if she was going to take her power back, she had to do it herself. She was going to protect the people she cared for, no matter what she had to do. "Morning." She smiled at him, forcing her lips upward. "You look happy." [/quote] "Well first you have to get on it hold into the bars with your hands and move only your upper body so the spring can bring you up to work on your stomach,Oh and I forgot to rest your legs here" Nicholas said now in his monotone voice touching the leg rest of the machine. Although he thought her stomach was magnificent and wished he could tell her other wise but a doubt in his head said that it could help her in crime fighting and he wanted to help her as much as he could.
