A sudden, loud growl from Neil's stomach signaled that a trip to the vending machines might indeed be a good idea. He nodded as Pavonine mentioned food, noting that yes, checking the book out would be a very good idea. Neil wasn't much of a follower most of the time, but it was probably best to listen. Listen, and observe, and learn.
The sight of another woman standing behind them in a window pane caught his eye, but she disappeared almost as quickly when Pavonine moved past. Neil squinted, frowned, then looked away-- it was hardly the most uncommon sight he had seen here so far. People flittering in and out of existence, hovering back and forth between planes of living and death. That was the sort of thing that he should have grown accustomed to by now.
What he wasn't quite accustomed to was the sight of a girl burping fire. She brought him to the snack area, where he grabbed a packet of chips. He took a seat by the benches near the machines, turning to face the other girl.
Neil's eyes widened as Pavonine's lips parted to let out a rather loud, unsightly burp-- not because he was particular about manners, no, but because, dude, was that fire he saw coming from her mouth?
"W-- whoa." Neil smiled. "Fire... Powers?" He wasn't sure if it was completely okay to ask about powers over here, but he supposed that it wouldn't hurt after that display. "That's pretty neat. Wish I could do tricks when I have too much soda to drink." No, instead he got memories, most of which hadn't been awakened yet. How was that fair by any stretch of the imagination?
"All I get are memories, or something, but I don't even have those yet."
