James laughed a little, "Sometimes his was worse than yours...he would get so mad that he couldn't say something that he would turn red." 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."

Nessie blinked and swallowed. Wonderful conversation? With her? How could that be? Were people just trying to be nice? She didn't know, couldn't tell. She hesitated before speaking, "S-s-s-sometimes it g-g-gets s-so bad I j-just c-c-can't continue s-s-speaking and then I t-think that people t-think I am s-s-stupid" She looked up, and shrugged. 

"M-my f-father s-said I d-didn't s-s-stutter when I was a t-toddler, and j-just learning to talk. He s-s-says it h=happened after my m-mother d-died and I didn't t-talk for w-weeks. he s-said that it was s-s-strange b-because I was a v-very talkative c-child. H-he would j-joke that he and my m-mother said they r-regretted teaching me to t-talk, b-because I n-never s-shut up" Nessie said softly, as she talked her stutter seemed to lesson, as she told this story, and she smiled, then sighed, "W-when I started talking again, the s-s-stutter was t-there my dad s-s-said, and has been every s-since"
