"A Sun? Don't you mean a star, called the Sun?" Takeshi correcting Mira, demonstrating he too had knowledge.
"Although I don't like it, I don't hate it either, reading. Gathering knowledge is something that helps me. Theoretically, my mutation could imitate any other mutation, but I doubt I could get such mastery of it. Practically the learning curve is too steep. I gather knowledge to help me get a better understanding to use my mutation." He explained himself.
"Alright" Takeshi replied to Mira, as she went to get her coat.
Takeshi could semi-regulate his body temperature with his mutation, by vibrating the atoms in his body, demonstrating heat and warming himself for example. However, he had only done this twice, once he had actually burned part of himself inside. It was a delicate process since his mutation was not a direct mutation to temperature. Imitating other mutations like so could lead to variable effects. He has learned to just live in the cold without trying to regulate hi own body temperature. The cold did not bother him as much as he was when he was a kid.
"Why?" he turned to Mira as she asked about why he was so nice to her. "I'm just a happy-go-lucky kid, I try to get along with everyone. Also, you looked kind of sad and lonely when I first saw you, I thought you would need a friend." Takeshi bluntly said to her. However, the hue on his face was slightly different, but it was hard to tell. Only someone who was either reading his mind, sensing his senses or with extremely careful observation would notice it. I don't think I am ready to tell her that I have been extra nice to her and that I have an .... interest in her he thought to himself.
"Anyway ... let's head to the top floor" Takeshi told her, exiting the balcony on his side, so he could get his tanto and lock his door. He sighed to himself. "Looks like I am still just a kid, who can't just say things directly" he softly said to himself. Amongst the Retributes who came, he saw that he was probably one of the younger ones who came. Grabbing his tanto, he had it strapped to his waist, and exited his room, locking the door. From there, he waited for Mira.
