Alice nodded, glad he wasn't looking at her. He felt...sadness. It bothered her, and yet the young man in front of her really did care. He didn't seem like the type to go blabbering about it to the whole school, despite being one of the jocks. Course he wasn't on the team this year, so that title really didn't work for him anymore. "It's not all bad," she encouraged with a smile, taking a quick drink. "Once everything is under control. If someone's sad, she can make them feel better without them even knowing it was her. And- and there's more," Alice went on, not wanting to get to the project just yet.

"My friend, she can do more. Have you ever heard of psychometry?" Alice asked, smiling now. "It's pretty incredible! All she has to do is [i]touch[/i] an object and she sees it's history, from recent all the way back to- well, however long she wants to sit there and watch. It can be anything. A toothbrush, a shirt...that's hard to control too, of course, but it's more based on "willing" herself to do it than happening on accident like the emotion stuff. But yeah, just imagine what can be learned! It can be helpful," she said, realizing she was sitting up straight, getting excited. If only she could show him! "Like to figure out if a guy [i]cheated[/i] on you in his own bed..." she added with a roll of her eyes, pushing her empty glass of coke to the side.
