“No don’t!” Grace demanded as Sebastian reached out to touch her arm, the girl cringing away and closing her eyes at the same time as Melissa called out.

“Sebastian wait!” She reached out to stop him, but both girls were too slow as the boy placed his hand on her arm. Melissa cringed too. Right now Grace was still too volatile, too scared. She had just relived a traumatic event from her past and she hadn't had any physical contact for a long time, for him to reach out and touch her arm, even if it was to comfort her was so dangerous. She could have easily accidently stuck him accidently with her powers.

However as the seconds ticked by Grace eventually opened her eyes and looked over to him curiously. She couldn’t really remember the last time she’d let anyone touch her, even her own parents, out of fear of freezing them to death or something like that. Yet nothing. Melissa watched as a great deal of ice and frost began receding as the two sat there next to each other. Quick to move on she encouraged Sebastian to move away as she placed the cup in front of Grace.

“Well, since that seemed to better than you’d thought, we’re going to try a small exercise, just so you can get a feel of actually using your powers, rather than them working of their own account. The more you use them willingly the more you’ll learn to control them.” She said as she glanced over to Sebastian. They’d definitely have to talk about all of this once they were done here.
