Pebbles in the water

She sat near the water, almost in it, eyes closed, head tilted upward, humming a nameless tune.

As usual, her short black, red streaked hair was pulled into small ponytails of sorts, moving gently with the breeze that no one else could see or feel. The water around her drifted as though it was running, moving this way and that with non existant currents.

The land on which her small hands rested seemed to move restlessly, as though her presence disturbed it.

But still, all of this was a normal occurance for Lex. Even when her mind was at ease, Things never stopped moving around her. Perhaps is was her nature not to be still, and so it showed in her powers, but all the same, her world was always, always in motion.

A small black t-shirt hung on her frame, with splatters of white and green paint all over it. A pair of black jeans settles around her hips, held up by a studded belt with a heard for a buckle.

As she continued to hum, a small smile found it's way onto her lips as she wiggled fingers, and the earth immediately beneath her hands moving with them.

She opened her eyes for a moment, pausing as she willed a few pebbles to move into the water, dropping them, one by one into the water with little 'plinks' to the beat of the tune.

She raised her eyes, the water rippling as though someone had just removed their hand from the water. Her eyes took a moment to re-adjust before the recognition of a human being before clicked within them. A friendly smile found it's way onto her face as the perpetual motion around her stopped. "Hi." she responded with a dip of her head, pushing herself to her feet, and immediately shoving her hands into her pockets for a moment. "I'm Lex." she added, pulling a hand out of her pocket to extend towards him.

As she extended her hand, the rocks below her moved along with her hand, and she winced, willing the things around her to be still, for once. She managed to stop the things surrounding her from moving, but her hair still moved as though it was being blown by a wind that didn't exist, as did her clothes.

As he returned his hand to his side, and stood up tall, Lex cocked her head, looking up at him. It was nothing new to have people taller than her, but his height wasn't something he was trying to lord over her. That was new.

"So, Lex, do you like the lake?"

Lex grinned and glanced at the water, which rose momentarily at the shifting of her attention to it. "As a matter of fact, Trephas, I do." Her smile softened as she held a hand out to the water, a small piece of it pulling it's self into a small ball, which was continuously rotating as she hovered it above her hand, looking at it fondly. "I like it's peacefulness." After she spoke, she allowed the water to stop spinning, and it dropped on her hand, down to the ground at her feet.

She placed the soggy hand on her hip, and glanced up at him again. "And you, Trephas Ark Bane, do you like the lake?" a small amused half smile found it's way onto her face, her eyes openly questioning. If she was curious, she wasn't one to hide it.

Lex grinned once again at Trephas. "Yeah, I've got telekinesis. I'm surprised though, since my first thought would have been hydrokinetic if I'd seen someone do what I just did." she shrugged, moving a hand to tuck some loose hair behind her ear, only to have it 'blown' out again.

"I've had mine ever since I can remember. It's made life hard, that's for sure." As she spoke, the same sand he had lifted separated to an invisible finger drawing a smiley face in it. She glanced over at it, adding a circle around it, and spikey hair.

Content with her work, she turned her calm gaze back to the boy in front of her. "I guess you're new here then, huh?" she said, more as a statement than as a question. While she had known what she had for about 4 years, she hadn't told anyone about it, since in a school like the one she was in, it wasn't smart to look different. This was her first year in a school specifically for people like her.

Lex smiled softly at Trephas's apt notice. "It's true. My powers do seem to get out of control, mostly because I have so much mental energy that I haven't learned to harness it all..." she paused, looking up at the sky, before continuing, "if that makes any sense at all.."

Ah, a family that actually cared. What she would give for that. Her eyes turned sad for a moment, the sand she'd drawn into a smiley face being erased, blowing onto the water, which moved uneasily beneath the sudden unstable energy of her emotions. Likewise, the grass about then bent around against an invisible, untouchable wind.

She was silent for a moment finding a song to place in her mind, closing her eyes and enjoying it for a moment, before opening her eyes again, calmed, glanceing back up at Trephas, realizing that he'd just spoken. "Yeah. I am. I've never had real schooling for controling my gift, so I hope that this place will help."
