Wasting time

He nodded, understanding exactly what she meant. "I know... I mean, I've got a huge family, but they still manage to be on close personal terms with everybody. Which is probably why Ada and me were so close; we're the only ones who don't really know what to do with that."

"You're probably... I don't think she really hates me, but I don't know how I can get her to stop givin' me the silent treatment. Little brat, won't ever admit she's wrong about anything." He grinned, shaking it off. "But. Too nice a day to complain about the past, hmm? Are you hungry? I bought a few apples from the fruit stand in town yesterday... Don't get me wrong, waxy bruised cafeteria apples are good, but you can't beat the real thing." He pulled two apples from the huge pocket near the bottom of his coat, forgetting to wait for an answer before tossing one to her.

He grinned at the nervous bird snatching his lunch away, wondering if she'd said anything to him to make him accept it. The wildlife around SA seemed to be very wary of humans...
"I've always wondered - how does that work? I mean, is it a babel fish sort of thing, where everything's turned into English, or do you just know what their body language means?" He watched her fly back up, grinning at her fluttering wings. Each person with wings used them differently, it seemed, and hers was quite endearing. Not that he'd ever admit it, of course.


[ooc: guh, sorry. I keep going 'when is she gonna post? O_o' and then I realize you've already posted a day ago ;_; I'm stupiddd...]

He couldn't stop himself from grinning, imagining the look on her face. "How long have you had your powers?" He asked, hoping he wasn't prying or anything. Even so long after he'd discovered his, he really didn't know that much about powers, and he had been trying to figure out some sort of pattern for some time. Either that, or he just wanted to know more about her....

Noah frowned over at her, throwing up a quick power block. He didn't like to see people upset - well, unless it was someone he didn't like. Or someone he didn't know... Or someone - ok, fine. He didn't like to see her upset. He gently tilted her chin up with two fingers, lightly brushing away a tear she'd missed with his thumb. "Hey. If they wouldn't love you just because you have powers, maybe they're not the kinds of people you'd want to love you, anyway." It made pretty much no sense, and would probably somehow make her feel worse... Slowly, Noah remembered that the reason he didn't help people was because he was crap at it. At least the block had worked - he'd done something right.

"What about you?"

He looked back at her, trying to discern if she was alright or not. "Ah... With the whole sister thing, so maybe a year ago..." He replied absent-mindedly.

A pause, and then, suddenly - "you should go to the festival. I'm sure it'd be fun, besides all the people everywhere... You could drop hints to your boyfriend and he could finally pick up on them at the last minute, and everything'd be wonderful." He grinned softly over at her, one eyebrow arched in question.

"Boyfriend?"

He glanced over at her, not understanding. "You know, your friend who is also a boy who is also a romantical interest. So you can spend all day snogging and saying 'I loooove you...." A pause. "No offense." The thought did not enter his head that she might not have a boyfriend, although she'd only been here for a week or so.
