[color=Gold][b]Felix[/b][/color] merely shrugged at Dawn's admission. The whole physical touch thing was a problem at first, but considering that she at least [i]told[/i] him ahead of time, he wasn't all that bothered! The fact that she did so ahead of time was surprising but, altogether unoffensive. Communication! Yay! Focus. His eyes darted to hers, flicking to the unfortunate detritus of his... Arrival. Before again returning to her. "[color=Orange]Not how it works, huh... Less a precognitive and more of an intuition based clairvoyant! That's super neat! Y'know, the amount of research done into esper expressions is so minimal that it honestly kinda kills me. Like, you! You're incredibly versatile so far as I've seen, and apparently pretty strong to affect my emotional states! Which...[/color]" Felix trailed off, staring into the middle distance as his volume slowly but surely dropped into a mutter-storm. The words 'potential for inspiration' rattled out at a mildly louder volume at some point, but he was otherwise inaudible. Abruptly, he snapped his attention back onto her, wholly. "[color=Orange]Well! Anyways, don't feel bad about it! I appreciate you telling me ahead of time y'know? Communication! It usually solves most problems, hah! I don't really mind, since, I'm aware of it now and, again, you told me. So, no worries,[/color]" He reassured. Felix took another sip from his 'mixed drink' as he thought for a long moment, before tilting his head and staring at Dawn's manicured nails. "[color=Orange]Actually, that reminds me! Are you, I dunno, wholly skipping work today? Cuz if you [i]are[/i], I need to head back to the tower, eat again, and readjust my chrome! Annnnd I figure that'd be a good time for you to try and see if you could give my limbs tattoos, yeah? Hell, I'd even let you decide on what I'd be wearing![/color]" Exclaimed the tinker. "[color=Orange]Plus, I really wanna talk to you about literally anythin'. You're a super sweet conversationalist! And, also, I like watchin' you get fussy about Mister Asshat. It's funny![/color]" He stood then, wincing as the hard-light haptic feed-back once again [i]screamed[/i] soreness and fatigue at him. His hips and shoulders were aching beyond belief by now. Oops. Should've just kept walking, be like a shark and all, right? Oh. Pay for her stuff, that'd be a good way to make up for the whole... Mess! Right? Eh. Yeah, and cover the tip! Was there a tip to be covered? Oh, wait, focus! Foooocus! [hr] [center][h1]The Undercity, Lake Denton[/h1][/center] [hr] [i][color=#a013b3]Jemma[/color][/i] had flown for a while by now, with thoughts flowing like rain-water down a sleepy suburban street. The anger had entirely fled by now, and a strange calmness had settled over her like a weighted blanket. Happiness at the freedom of her situation was distant and muted, as if coming to her from a tunnel far and away. One of her twinned heads was watching the ground below, noting the differing hunter crews that were mid butcher and carve. There was a truly large body, it appeared to be a [url=https://imgur.com/a/bLeJjvk]giant crustacean of some sort[/url], being pulled apart by a team of twelve in exo-suits. Huh. Good eating, for whoever got the majority of that share. She ignored that gasps of those who were more situationally aware than their peers, only barely noticing as they lifted hands and pointed at her. Even if they [i]wanted[/i] to engage her, the fact that she only kept flying was enough to dissuade any aggression. Don't poke a flying beast that's leaving you alone, right? Right. Jemma flew, and flew, eventually settling into a rhythm as the sparkling refraction of Lake Denton made itself known. A quiet place, far and away from anyone and any[i]thing[/i] else. Her astral eyes picked up a few creatures, darting away from her considerable bulk, but ultimately? There was [i]nothing[/i] else but her, and the quiet lapping of water upon a shoreline. Safety assured, she leaned down, both heads peering into the water in silence. A singular wing-tip came forth, stirring the water and sending ripples of [MANA] down and out. Ripples returned in kind, clarifying her [VISION]. There were plenty of fish, or at least, fish-like beasts in the depths of the lake. Those that skimmed the surface were [i]fast[/i] and small, silvery flesh flashing like blades before vanishing further out. A catfish flashed in the depths, sifting through silt and murk with a multitude of prehensile whiskers. [LIGHTNING-minor-SPARK] leapt from whisker to prey item, as the bottom feeder shocked its prey into stillness to be consumed. And so she sat for a time, simply watching... And watching... And ever so slowly, falling into a trance. The sounds of the lake filled her, from hearing to thought to spirit. [url=https://youtu.be/UsDtmdWFBxU]The hush-shush of waves lulling a sort of true serenity forth.[/url] The body slowly settled, [WATER-MANA-ASPECT] drawing up and into the core of Jemma's being, and fueling a waking dream. A temporary memory of being submerged in unbelievable depths. Pressure and cold, crushing down and freezing out from all sides. Comfort in the abyss. An utter lack of noise, with whorls of [FORCE-MANA] and [WATER-MANA] sprawling for miles upon miles upon miles. In those miles, so far away that the inky black became even more pitch, a body stirred. A leviathan, a behemoth, an utterly gigantic [i]thing[/i]. It moved, in that lightless space, stirring titanic currents with each shifting motion. She felt like she was staring up into the stars, insignificant enough to derive true safety in a way. A peace found only in the presence of that which was truly larger than she'd ever comprehend. Then, like a tide, the [i]titan[/i] turned. It moved so slow, so methodically, that eons could have passed in the time it took for the thing to change its trajectory. Water rushed forth, pressing all that she could have ever been into the now rapidly eroding silt at her feet. Light, like a city, blazed to life across a body that she would never hope to see the end of. A wordless sound rippled forth, approaching like a tsunami from which there was no escape. It had just barely crested over her, suffusing her with a minuscule moment of [i]understanding[/i], before abruptly... The waking-dream faded, popped like a bubble. And Jemma blinked at the feeling of a wolf-sized cat-fish trying to aggressively swallow her wingtip. Huh.
