"Chromite," Reggie began, the fact that he was usingnher actual name instead of the nickname would ler her know that what he was saying was to be taken seriously, "I'm old enough to do whatever the hell I fucking want to do, and say whatever thehell I want to say to whoever I want to say it to. I don't h ve to listen to you and you don't have to worry about me. So do me a favor, and mind your own goddamn business. If thd big orsnge lug wants to fight me for speaking the truth, I'll deal with it.If he's smart, he'll see what I'm talking about and go back to protect his family instead of running of like a dog with his tail between his legs, abandoning them at a ti,e where they should all be together. . . to be truthful, he sickens me to my core right now."

Reggie's words were cold and harsh, his grey eyes looking into Chromite's as he had turned his head to address her. One of his hands had made it's way to his sword, gripping it tightly as he tried to contain his anger. "I'm not a child, so don't patronize me like one."

Mars seemed to visiblely relax at Candice's words, releasing a breath that he didn't know he'd been holding. [i]So I'm not the only one, I may be a bit different and strange but I'm not the only one.[/i]  When she talked about her home, Mars looked up to inspect it, finding it to be pretty interesting in it's design. But then something else began to pick at his mind, more burning questions like hot embers in his brain that could only be doused with knowledge.

"Candice, whatncan you tell me about these other . . . what did you say they called themselves . . .Gems? What can they do, and do you have any idea if I can do it as well? Where do they evdn live, maybe we can go see them and get some more info straight from the source, yeah?"
