Irina's rebuttal of Arthur's analysis was somewhat comforting.  Although she had not perfected her power it was still good to know that, from her experience at least, their new instructor's power was not the invasive nightmare that he had imagined.  He could see that she was both struggling and experimenting with the new applications of her ability but exhaustion was beginning to take its toll.  

Arthur made a note to himself to put in a request for the power nullifier to be put on, or at least to question its inactivity at night time and the potentially dangerous consequences of leaving it so; asking for things at this stage would only increase their captors' confidence in the control they exercised over the inhabitants of the facility.

[color=6ecff6]"I'm really not sure I want to be testing my powers out with others..."[/color] Arthur muttered to himself.  As far as he could tell, the only way to put his abilities to the test was to be injured in some way or other and then see how long said injury took to repair.  Thankfully there was no one in their group likely to blow a massive hole in his chest or something drastic like that; the young Brit seriously doubted his 'Accelerated Healing' power covered gaping chest wounds and the like.

When Nilin announced his first pairing he was mildly pleased.  He and Uriel got on well, both being from somewhat advantageous backgrounds; although, Arthur had a feeling that Uriel's early life had been more pleasant than his own.  That, or the Aussie dealt with it very well.  Looking around the small gaggle of adolescents, Arthur located Uriel and shot off a mock salute when his partner had spotted him.

[color=6ecff6]"And... the only way I can see us 'training our abilities together', as our new coach/chief scientist/warden has commanded, is if you... y'know, hurt me.  And then we see how long it takes me to recover.  Fun, right?"[/color]
