Nita at the bar!

To her surprise, the door was unlocked. Still is.

She'll be leaving tomorrow -- come talk to her before she does.

"He is...isn't he?"

[nita_callahan]

"Yeah."

[agirllost]

"Are you okay?"

[nita_callahan]

"Yeah, pretty much. It's just. . . surreal."

[agirllost]

"I can imagine," she says something to the bar and a milkshake appears.

"Sorry I can't give you anything stronger."

[nita_callahan]

She laughs a little. "Thanks."

Playing with the straw, she tilts her head at Kim, and the resemblance between her and Jasin is momentarily very strong.

"Is that all that's bothering you, though?"

[agirllost]

"There's...something else. But I don't...I can hardly believe it."

[nita_callahan]

She raises her eyebrows. "Like what?"

[agirllost]

She takes another sip of her drink, "Chase has...will be able to...do things."

[nita_callahan]

". . .Sorry? What kind of things?"

[agirllost]

"Telekenesis among other things."

[nita_callahan]

She blinks. "Oh. Cool. How'd that happen?"

[agirllost]

"Someone named Max healed him and apparently...this can happen."

[nita_callahan]

"Wait. He got healed, and now he's becoming telekinetic?"

[agirllost]

"Pretty much."

[nita_callahan]

She looks at Kim closely.

"That's pretty cool."

[agirllost]

She takes another sip of her drink instead of answering.

[nita_callahan]

". . .Or not?"

[agirllost]

"I just don't know, Nita."

[nita_callahan]

She eyes her, and frowns.

"Okay, am I missing something? Why is Chase getting powers a problem?"

[agirllost]

"Can't explain it," she mutters. "Just..."

[nita_callahan]

She looks at her for a long moment, and then says quietly, "Kim, look at me for a second."

[agirllost]

She doesn't turn to look at her, can't, because she's holding together through avoidance right now.

"What is it, Nita?"

[nita_callahan]

She frowns.

"Kim, I'm honestly not seeing how this is a problem. Chase is getting some interesting new abilities. That's a big deal, and he's trusting you with that information."

She puts a hand on her chest. "I kept my wizardry a secret from my parents until I thought I was going to get eaten by a shark. Is Chase gonna go do something like that?"

[agirllost]

"It's not that...it's....he wasn't supposed to change and we can't really go home and magic doesn't exist on my earth, it...doesn't and if I have children they could have this ability and they'd be forever...different and I can't do that to them..."
