Ashley couldn’t be too surprised that Matt disliked her lack of reaction. She always seemed to do that to people; lack of expression always raised an eyebrow. She didn’t say anything, since there wasn’t anything to say.

Matt’s change of demeanor did puzzle her, though. It was a sensitive subject, she knew, but it still surprised her that he wasn’t showing off.

She nodded at his response. When it came to electricity, she knew that overuse of powers could have very dire consequences, so he would have to be careful while running. Cardiac arrest made sense.

Ashley followed the invisible circles Matt was drawing, since eye contact wasn’t her thing. She couldn’t help but glance up, though, as he told his story. As he finished, she said “I see... sorry..”, regretting that she asked. It should’ve been common sense, but blind curiosity won over.

She again nodded at his comment on bringing his mood down. She understood totally.

Matt sighed once again before putting on his usual smile. "Like I said, it's not really a big deal," he said. "I mean, yeah, I guess it was kind of a big deal, and I still have to be extra careful about it today, but it's not something for me to stress over. I don't even use my super speed all that much nowadays. At least, not as much as I used it before."

Matt looked back to the girl sitting across from him. "But I guess I'm talking about myself a lot right now, aren't I?" he asked. "I wanna hear more about you, if you don't mind. What kind of limits do you have, if any?"

Suddenly, Matt whipped his head around to look across the room. He scanned the cafeteria for a few seconds before landing on someone with an apple in their hand. He sprinted to stand behind them and quickly snatched the apple before running back to his seat. With a discreet glance behind him, he found that the person didn't know it was him, and gratefully bit into the apple.

After swallowing, he said, "Oh, and I never asked for your name. I'm Matt." He reached out a hand for her to shake.
