The word supplier made the whole thing sound a lot sketchier than Anastasia had thought it was, although she was quick to make note of the information. Cabel. What he 'supplied' would obviously be hard to figure out without asking, but it was worth keeping in mind.

Anastasia screwed up her face in confusion at Lochlann's question, genuinely confused for a moment. It was only then that she realized, and let out a little snort. "A human. Before I arrived here I thought there were only humans, and I'm not quite Russian enough to be wrestling bears." No one really wrestled bears. The claws alone would tear you apart, even if you managed to keep away from the jaws.

She found herself slightly edgy when he climbed up to sit on the banister. It was the exact kind of stupid thing she would disapprove of, and it no doubt showed on her face, even if it might be construed as disapproval of Cabel's get-you-what-you-need service. She didn't like when people did risky, pointless things like hanging over edges, and when he suddenly fell - toppling backwards when he intended to - she shot forward.

Anastasia was fast, and her reflexes were good. Her heart pounded in her ears as she collided with the railing. There were no theatrics. No jumping over the ledge to try and grab on. She'd been too far from him to ever have a chance of catching him. Unless he'd caught a hold of the ledge, he was likely already on the ground.

He was floating. He had fallen, and now he was floating back towards her, getting gradually closer before finally settling himself back on the roof. Magic. Magic had brought him back. Magic had stopped his apparent accident.

Magic would not stop her fist.

Anastasia was not going to just take the offered hand and jump off a roof. No, instead she took a strong step forward to put her beside Lochlann, and then she slammed her fist into his gut, her own face twisted with fury.

"I'm going to fall off the roof, how funny!" She snapped. "Did you not think that it might be distressing to watch you fall off the roof without warning?" She was good and angry now, and while she had no intention of slugging Lochlann again, she was still tense, holding herself stiff.

Anastasia was not the sort of person who usually lost her temper. It took something monumentally stupid or spiteful to make her, and Lochlann had managed to make her do just that. It was obvious enough that she wasn't the only one upset, although Adelene sounded more upset than angry.

"Saying something is spelled means nothing. I have been on this island for less than twenty four hours, and you expect the first conclusion that I jump to would be 'ah yes, the roof must be spelled so that he will fly right back up?'" She didn't punch him again, but she did vigorously jab her finger in his direction. "There is such a thing as an accident, no? Or am I to believe that your special power is that you are immune to accidents?" The angrier she got, the heavier her accent seemed to get.

Even worse, he was persisting in his stupid game, and Anastasia let out a huff, crossing her arms. "I am not jumping off any roof. For all you know, my own power would nullify the magic that brings you back up." Beyond that, Anastasia disliked the very idea of doing something that was dangerous just because she should have survived. Things went wrong. Things like jumping off a roof, or jumping out of a plane, or jumping with a stupid bit of elastic tied to your feet. "I am not so quick to gamble with my life." Especially not with something she knew next to nothing about.

It was, all things considered, a damn good thing Addie was there. Anastasia could best be described as volatile at the moment. It wasn't that her wounds were fresh - they hadn't even closed yet. Her polite nature only stretched so far when it had barely been a week since the death of her parents and the discovery of her powers, and she had yet to have time to properly grieve. She was not afraid. She was angry with him - with a boy she'd just met - for playing with her emotions.

Even if she knew that he couldn't have known, that didn't stop the anger from lingering there, barely kept down by Adelene's reassurances that he meant well.

She suspected Adelene was giving him a bit too much credit.

But she let her eyes slide away from Lochlann and back to Addie. Addie had been kind to her, and it was easier to focus on her and let her anger burn out, ignoring Lochlann's jab.

"You're right. We should eat - I haven't had anything since last night." Or had that been earlier today? Her days were all running together. "I'll eat anything, as long as it's not shellfish."

Anastasia settled in, eyeing the japanese food with a certain amount of suspicion. She'd eaten it before, but not very often, and she only recognized maybe half of what was being laid out. She was adventurous enough to give it a try, although she wasn't sure how much of the food she was going to like.

Not that she was going to complain. She would eat what she was offered, whether she liked it or not. She wasn't going to be rude, even to someone she'd just punched for being an idiot.

She was expecting just to eat - not to have Lochlann suddenly wax philosophic, and she glanced over, squinting at him for a moment.

"No, not particularly." She admitted. The answer he was looking for was probably yes, but Anastasia was not the type to have her head in the clouds.
