Al just gave Zac a thumbs up in response. Hey, he was getting off in the right foot with this guy and it only took, what, two, three minutes? Tops. He graciously accepted the pancake, grinned at Zac's apron, and sat down to eat. He didn't mind the lack of butter or syrup, though it definitely would have been better if they had some. [color=bc8dbf]"It's cool dude. It's nice enough of you to bother making pancakes to begin with."[/color] He grinned while he pondered what exactly the academy didn't want them bringing again.

Cut. Scoop. Chew. Swallow.

[color=bc8dbf]"Dang, no computer? What weren't we allowed to bring again?"[/color] Al asked. He was a bit concerned for the longevity of his phone and DS. Both were intended to be his primary forms of escape, and if a computer wasn't allowed, did that mean internet was off limits? Quite the horrifying thought.

On the subject of superpowers, he was caught a bit off guard. He wasnt used to discussing powers, what with the whole "dude you're weird thing" and all... That didn't mean he shouldn't be courteous here, though. Carbon... Carbon manipulation then? [color=bc8dbf]"That's how carbon works?"[/color] He asked, [color=bc8dbf]"Sounds sweet, dude. As for me..."[/color]

Al put his spoon down so that he could free up his hand to demonstrate. [color=bc8dbf]"Check out the floor,"[/color] he told him. Zac would be able to see the shadows that the two were casting had grown noticeably darker and we're now wiggling about in a weird dancing move. [color=bc8dbf]"I can manipulate shadows. Make 'em darker, change their shape, I can even pull 'em out and mash them up like paper."[/color] He grinned as he finished his explanation, partially because he was free to discuss his powers and partially because he found that comparison to be pretty amusing.
