[quote=Caits] That was the first time someone had said her speaking put them at ease. She remained looking down, and said, "A-a-as buh-buh-buh-bad as m-mine?" She asked, risking a glance up, her eyes appearing rounded, and alight. "I f-f-f-find that h-hard to b-believe" She returned her gaze to Hope, still petting the dog. "i...I a-am s-s-s-s-sorry f-f-f-for all t-that has h-h-happened to y-you. It isn't f-f-fair" She looked up after a minute and asked, "W-w-what e-elements c-c-c-can you c-c-c-c-c-c-control?" it seemed like a generally question asked her, so she figured why not ask?

James actually seemed happy for once, "I control Air...and water somewhat now i guess." He twisted a warm breeze through the room, "And besides...If all that hadn't happened to me i wouldn't have met some of the greatest people in my life." He smiled brightly, "And I wouldn't be having this wonderful conversation with you...so in the end I think it was worth it."
