Dare You To Move

He could only wonder and blurt out "Que?" from his mouth as he tilted his head. His eyes looked down to the ground, heeding her nevermind. He shook her hand with his other hand and smiled.

"I hope...your days get...well."

"It was... It was more than... than an 'off day'... It was rude of me, and... and for that I... I am sorry."

Enelya looked up at Jen, and gave her a gentle smile.

"Well, if you insist on it, apology accepted. I am more than willing to give you any help if you need it. Helping others is like a third arm to me, I love doing it, and it's a big part of me."

"I hope...your days get...well."

Enelya looked back at the boy curiously, who looked so bewildered that she wasn't sure if he was suffering from shock, or just didn't know what to say, or how to thank them.

"Don't we all, having a bad day is at the bottom of my to-do list for this evening." she gave them both a smile. And sat down in the sand, smooshing it in-between her toes. "How's your hand?" Enelya looked up at the sky, the stars were coming out, and she leaned her head back to admire them.

He leaned his head back, "My arm...is good." The stars had enraptured him in their twinkling greatness. Their brightness had always filled his eyes, because there were never many stars in Ecuador, nor was there anyone to enjoy them.

Everyone worked and slept.

"My arm...is good."

"You can take off the bandage in about a day or so, that'll give the oils of the herbs in time to fully soak into your skin, completely healing it. You ought to be more careful..."

Enelya sat next to Raphael in the sand and looked up at the stars and laughed. "Aren't they beautiful? Just sitting there billions of miles away, just letting all living things admire them."

Enelya sighed, and looked over at Raphael, and gave him a curious look. "So, is what happened your power? Are you here, to, control it or something? It looks really dangerous..." She was worried for him, but then again, she worried for everyone who looked like they had a potential for hurting themselves.

He cotinued to look up at the stars, even as Enelya started to talk. Sure he had gotten what she had said, but there was nothing really to say back. The glimmer of the stars made him smile...something he had done many times since he was here.

Enelya sighed, and looked over at Raphael, and gave him a curious look. "So, is what happened your power? Are you here, to, control it or something? It looks really dangerous..." She was worried for him, but then again, she worried for everyone who looked like they had a potential for hurting themselves.

"Yes, I am here...to correct my...curse. I only...wish that I may...control my powers..." He began to at least move his fingers up and down a centimeter.

"Yes, I am here...to correct my...curse. I only...wish that I may...control my powers..."

Enelya looked at him oddly. "Curse? You consider your powers... a curse?" Enelya frowned, powers should never be a curse...

((sorry, writer's block fantastico over here))

(Yea same)

"Y-yes, I do. I don't...like it. I wish it would...go." He looked down, quite ashamed that he had this power...or these powers. His eyes looked above wondering, who gave me these powers?

Enelya frowned, studying him. How horrible could one's powers be that they didn't like them? Enelya considered her powers a gift, even if that did mean separating herself from normal people.

"Why...why don't you like them? Shouldn't powers be considered a gift?" She looked at him curiously.

He looked down, not responding to the question as he made his finger lightly swirl against the lake. Raphael didn't know ignoring people was a bad thing. Then again, he just came here a month ago from Ecuador.

Studying his face, she could tell they probably had brough him great pain, and she was saddened by this. She gently touched his knee in comfort and tried to manage a small smile.

"What are your powers, anyways?"
