She looked at him, awestruck. She suddenly felt even more thankful for him being there. She couldn't even imagine not having met him. She really liked how he kept blushing. It made her want to blush, just to see what it felt like. When he stroke her cheek, she tried to force herself to blush, but she couldn't. She was quite put out by that. She wanted him to know that she was blushing to, but her body just wouldn't let her. There was one way though, but maybe later...

"Thank god for Nikki..." she muttered under her breathe. She really did mean it. His words made her want to cry, and she felt her eyes tear up a little, but she wiped at them then turned back to look at him. "I think we should talk about something else.." she said. She really had only just met him, but she felt as though she would cry if they talked about this any longer. It just made her so sad.

She looked up at him for a moment, before asking,"Can I.. be right back?" Without waiting for an answer, she disappeared, only to reappear, standing next to where she had been sitting. She took a seat again, acting as if nothing had changed. She looked over at him, then smiled. Now, she could hear the water and the wind and the bugs. She was very happy.

She swore underneath her breath as she fell to her knees, placing a hand on his heart. She wanted to make sure he was alright. She looked up at him, hoping he would say something to reassure her. She heard him though, that was different. She felt so stupid. So naive. She should have walked away, so he couldn't see her. She leaned against him, feeling the need for comfort. She really needed to start thinking about the obvious things.

"I'm so sorry.." she murmured, unable to think of what else to say. Her English accent suddenly vanished as she spoke though, since she was no longer speaking from memory, but rather from experience. She rest her head on his shoulder for a few moments before deciding to explain why she had left.

"I like your voice." she said, her face still resting on his shoulder. She lifted her head up gently then turned to face him. She knew she could stay projecting for quite some time, but sooner than later she would have to return her normal body, but she realized she could not allow him to be anywhere near her when she did. She would never risk that ever again.

She shut her eyes as he stroked her hair. It felt so natural, so nice. It made her smile as she felt her own heart slowing its pace to regain a normal tempo. She kept her eyes shut for a moment, as she took in all the sounds at the lake. The one she paid most attention to was his breathing. It was very calming. She opened her eyes, then sat up, disliking the fact that she was no longer leaning on him.

"My power is the ability to project myself. When I do that, I regain my hearing. I wish I could just stay like this, but, I can't hold it for long enough. I've never used it to just hear someone before. Usually I use it to travel..." she said. It took a moment before her words sunk in for herself. She really had never done it to just hear someone's voice before. She'd ever even done it in such a short distance. She felt herself blush, and it showed. She really liked being able to blush, asides from hearing, if she could bring one trait back to her actual body, she would bring back the ability to blush. Just for when she was around certain people.

A moment passed before she realized how uncomfortable she was now that she had sat up, but she wasn't sure if Dorn wanted her leaning on him or not. She sat there, waiting for his reply, or maybe an invitation to lean on him again.

She nodded in reply to his question. She realized that that was completely the truth, and she wasn't about to lie. That was exactly why she had done what she did. Suddenly, she was leaning against him again, with his arms wrapped around her. She shut her eyes, just enjoying the moment. She hadn't been this happy in a long time, or ever. She wasn't really sure. She laid against him, his scarf still around her neck, and his arms still around her, then she smiled and blushed simultaneously. She noticed that her heart race was speeding up. What a strange feeling that Sil couldn't name.

"What are your powers?" she mumbled into his shoulder, trying to form sentences in her head. She was having some difficulty for some reason, putting words and phrases together to form ideas, and she wasn't exactingly sure why. This had never really happened to her before.

"So do you know what emotion I'm feeling right now?" she asked. His arms suddenly left her and she felt very empty. But, he quickly put his arms back around her and pulled her even closer, and suddenly her heart was racing. She blushed again, never wanting to leave this spot, ever. This was so perfect. She suddenly felt lightheaded. She was running out of the ability to stay like this. She would not let herself change back in front of him though, but she couldn't make herself get up.

"Yes? What's your question?" she looked up at him, trying to use as little energy as possible. She wasn't sure why her energy was being drained so quickly. She had stayed days at a time projected from her body, yet sitting with Dorn for only a short time. She wanted to stay right here, she needed to stay right here.
