Sebastian blushed and stuck Hugo in his backpack. "Just for a while, Hugo." He whispered to the rabbit before zipping up the bag. Turning back to Elijah, Sebastian made eye contact and then looked down again. Recalling what Augustine told him when she performed many tests on him, he explained his power. "Well I uh." Sebastian hesitated for a moment, what if he scared this guy? Well he asked. "When people die they give off a special energy and I sort of manipulate it into these ghost things. The people at Curdun Cay said it was called Phantasm Manipulation." Sebastian hoped this guy wouldn't just reject him like everyone else. His power was sort of on the darker side but it wasn't his fault. All he wanted was to be loved by someone. He felt a twinge of guilt when he remembered his foster parents and how they "Loved" him. Why didn't that feel like enough for him? It felt almost fake. "Are you a conduit?" He asked kicking an invisible rock.
