sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?

[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??

He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

[That question seems to catch him by surprise. Was he a fighter? He'd long dreamed of joining the Royal Guard, and even the captain herself said he was really cool and tough as nails, but he doesn't know if he's ever thought of himself that way before.

A human thinks he's a fighter! How neat!]

Well... every monster from the underground has something similar! This sort of magic is how we express ourselves, whether we're fighting or just saying happy birthday.

[Andrew looks a little confused at that. Then again, he uses his power for literally everything. Isn't that in a sense expressing himself? He probably uses it more mundanely (aside from flying) than he does fighting.]

Uh, I actually think I understand what you're saying. [He seems surprised by that.] I guess it's kind of the same for me?
