Korite gave a short laugh. No one who knows what they're doing at a casino would let him in through sound alone. Ko began considering Murphy's luck, when suddenly it hit him. 'Murphy's law. Anything that could happen will.' Ko nearly said the revelation out loud. It was ironic, very ironic.
"Good luck with Cryptography. I'm sure you would be good at it." Ko made the comment very plain, but hinted at knowing more than he should.

"And no, it isn't that shit. It's better than having a power that's a basic part of other peoples lives." Korite felt himself get suddenly frustrated. He wanted to know what it felt like to always see the world around you. In his low self-loathing, he lost his concentration and felt his sight slip away. Sighing, he properly put his hand through the strap on his cane and prepared himself for the rest of his day.

While not mentioned, the momentary look of realization on Korite's face meant that he'd probably spotted the iron in Murphy's name. He hadn't mentioned cryptography but somehow he'd... oh right, thoughts. "Well, things tend to go wrong more than they really should, but I guess you're right. At least it'd a defining feature."

He was a little surprised at how bitter the kid had sounded when he talked about his own power. It was quite similar to how he himself had seen his powers when he was about that age. "Don't sell yourself short yet, Kor. You got a lot of time ahead of you to refine what you've got." he rubbed his neck awkwardly, it was odd to be trying to give some sort of advice to someone who could probably already pick it out of his mind. "I was told when I got here that every power is a gift, not a curse, it's just up to us to figure out how to use that gift. And you know as well as I how hard it can be to do that. You ever need someone to chat with let me know yeah?"

Korite gave a slight smile for the help and concern. He still felt frustrated, but less now.

"I should of elaborated, my powers are more of a sickness. They replace something I should of had already, but make them painful. I would rather be back to how I started than be barely teased with what I have now."

Ko meant it. He didn't want to have to wake up in the morning and not know if he would have a migraine all day, and have to Novocain his mouth, or if he needed to have his cane and write an excuse note for tardiness.

Still caught up in his thoughts, Ko wanted to return the favor for trying to help calm him.
"By the way, you have a golden orange glow. That takes a lot of luck. It's rare. A good rare"

Murphy wasn't sure if the kid was trying to comfort him or bullshit him, but laughed loudly either way. "Thanks Kor, and even if your powers took something away from you, in the short time I've been here it's become clear that there's always a trade off. Yours might just not have gotten a chance to bloom yet. Hell, maybe mine haven't either." he pulled a cigarette from behind his ear and began examining it. "Take care of yourself man."
