Some house. With People.

Hiro was. . . . certainly surprised when Fritzi pressed her forehead to his. Not embarrassed though. Absolutely not. He also didn't have a fever. His body just ran hot. Of course. There was definitely no other reason than that. Right. Anyway.

Hiro took a step back and waited to see what would happen. A cloud of dust. A stream of water. Those seemed. . . . . situationally useful at best. Though if Hiro could shoot a cloud of dust in someone's face mid fight, it would certainly make it easier. Still, he had yet to test out his own power. He closed his eyes and breathed deep. Wiping away the dirty surrounding around him. In an instant he was alone. Nothingness. Through just a few moments of steady breathing, he felt his body harmonize, all in balance. He was in as close to his peak physical and mental condition as he could be given the rather. . . . unfortunate circumstances he had found himself in. Taking one last deep breath, he almost sighed out the word.

It was almost that easy. He felt. . . lighter. Stronger. His body felt in a state just higher than his peak fighting form. If he went for the World Championship belt right now, he felt like his odds had gone up from around 70% to closer to 95% or even higher. It was amazing. Power, limitless energy flowed through him.

Now, the energy he had gained was obviously not limitless, but standing still and not using any of that energy felt pretty good. In short.

Regardless, his eyes shot open and a grin, more honest than any smile he had shown his entire time in this world, was plastered across his lips.

[color=slategray]"Alright, well. I think we can get to work then. I'll move the furniture that needs to be taken outside. . . Oh. And Fritzi. You can just call me Hiro."[/color]

And just like his words, he got to work. Cleaning and moving furniture wasn't something that took up his whole mind, leaving him space to think. He had found something new. Of course he hoped that he would be able to go home as soon as possible, but at the same time he had found something. A path. A way to continue growing stronger. A way around the wall he had run into. It was almost a blessing to be brought here. Almost.
