Things were starting to look rather grim for Alby. It seemed that his parents had decided against letting him stay on the island and wanted him to head home at the earliest opportunity. Of course, it only seemed that way. As soon as it became obvious that his parents were about to say that, Alby hung up and never answered the phone again afterward. It had been two days now, with Alby ignoring their calls while he executed his master plan. Get better at being a psychic, possibly lose control of his powers, and make it so that he has to stay. However, so far that hadn't exactly been working. If he had known how to do that, he probably would've managed to lift something heavier than a pencil in the past eight years. Now, getting desperate, Alby turned to a friend for help.

It didn't take long for him to find the dragon's house, still surprised by how mundane it looked. Not that he expected a huge cave with a gold hoard or anything. He just expected something. With a firm knock on the door, Alby called for his friend, hoping he was inside as this visit wasn't planned. "Eein?"

He caught Alby's scent before even reaching the house, he'd land behind his friend, folding his wings up. "Guess you're looking for me?" he'd say, tilting his head, his nose twitching a little. "Either that or....you've befriended my cousins, nothing wrong with that, just don't think you ever met them."

Eein's tail would sway behind him. "Anyways.....what's up shorty?" he'd settle on the ground, his tail wrapping loosely around himself. "Anything into going on?" he'd ask, tilting his head.

With the landing behind him, Alby stood straight, then listened to what Eein said before turning around. "Eein! Hey!" Seeing Eein's cousins wasn't really why he came, but now that Eein mentioned it, it wasn't something he'd be particularly opposed to doing... No, he didn't have time for fanboying right now.

"I was heading to the park to try and make some super headway with my powers and I was wondering if you'd like to join me?" Alby smiled.

He'd shift down to his human. "Try to get more powerful are we?" he'd ask, stretching a bit. "Sure, sure, I can help you train," he was curious about what caused him to want to train all of sudden. "Trying to make your telekinesis stronger?" he wasn't completely sure how someone makes a mind based power stronger.

"You got any weights for you to lift?" he'd ask, fishing his keys out of his pocket. "I have some in my room we can grab," he'd say, "assuming you can help cary them." Ye said the last part jokingly as he unlocked the door and motioned Alby in.

"Let's grab the weights and go," heading back to his room he'd pick up a few of the weights, motioning to lighter ones for Alby to carry. "Let's go," he'd head out, locking the door behind them as they went.

"Awesome, thank you." Then he laughed a little. "You know me, I'm always trying to strengthen my abilities. Especially with the death of magic stuff no longer going on. Maybe that was just eating away at all my gains, y'know? Now that it's gone, maybe I can actually start getting better."

Weights were a little bit much for his telekinesis, but Alby decided it wouldn't hurt, especially in case they ended up doing regular training too. Or maybe even if his telekinetic potential or whatever finally awakened and he could suddenly lift weights. "I don't have any, but if you got some then of course I'll help carry them."

Alby glanced around Eein's room, getting a good look before heading over to help pick up the lighter weights. Then he nodded when Eein suggested they go. Heading along after him. "Alright, to the park!" Alby started walking. It wouldn't take long for them to get to the park.

"So why the sudden urge to train?" he'd ask, "I mean....I know you've always wanted to improve your power, but you seem even more eager today." He remembered him talking about the stress his family has been under since the recent events.

"Any particular reason?" he'd ask, gently placing another weight into Alby's arms. "Got a bully you need to smack around? Or there a girl you wanna impress?" he'd say with a chuckle.

They'd arrive at the park and he'd set the weights down. "Ok, what do you want to start with first?"

"Huh? Oh, I just wanted to catch up on all that lost time. I didn't get much training in while I was trying to find the veil and now I gotta make up for it." Alby wasn't really telling the truth, but he was being at least a little honest with his answer. Though he still felt bad about not filling Eein in on what was up. Alby decided he'd only tell Eein when he'd run out of options and was certain he'd have to go.

When they got to the park, Alby put a finger on his chin and thought over how to start. He wanted to improve his telekinesis, but he was a little worried that he'd end up to tired to do anything else once he did. That didn't end up stopping him in the end though.

"Hmm, I'm going to start by lifting a leaf, but I'm going to hold it there for several minutes." Alby stretched both of his arms then walked over to a leaf. "Are you able to time me?"

"Yeah I'll time you," he'd pull out his phone. "What's your previous record time?" he'd ask as he brought up the stop watch on his phone. "Oh...uh, there any like...warning signs that I should watch for? Like will your nose start bleeding when you strain yourself to much?"

Eein would take a seat on the ground. "So....when you get stronger....what do you plan on doing?" he'd ask, keeping an eye on his phone. "I hear telekinesis gets pretty useful."

The dragon could tell there was something more going on with Alby than he was letting on. "Got any big power related plans?"

Alby gave a thumbs up. "Thanks. Previous record with a leaf is 1 minute and 15 seconds, but it kind of depends on the leaf" Then he thought over Eein's question for another moment before giggling. "I'm not Eleven from Stranger Things, don't worry, I'll be A-Ok." Then the other question about what he planned to do once he did get strong. "Hmm, I'm not actually too sure about what I wanna do, but it'll be awesome I can assure you that much."

"Alright, ready?" Alby dug both feet into the ground as a white light overtook his eyes and a green one surrounded the leaf. He seemed to struggle quite a bit while lifting the leaf up to his neck, but once it was there he seemed to do a lot better. At least until the minute mark rolled around. At one minute, Alby's face had gone very red and his legs seemed to start trembling.

"I've never seen Stranger Things," he'd say, looking between Alby and the phone. "I assume this Eleven is telekinetic?" he didn't watch a lot of TV, played video games but not a lot of TV watching.

"Ready," he'd watch his friend activate the ability looking toward the leaf as it was lifted. "That's it," he'd say calmly. "You got this," he wondered what using the ability felt like, if it was like using an invisible muscle or not.

The dragon looked back to his phone and then back to his friend. "You're doing good."
