You had a bad day.

Mal would sit across from Emily, slightly hunched over, his eyes to the ground, "I suppose today is an unlucky day for me."

"For starters, I had a terrible test earlier, second some guy decided he wanted to get in a dispute with me over nothing." Mal would give a sigh, he really had no idea what that guy's issue was.

"Then the rain, I usually love rain, but it was completely unexpected, so I got soaked."

He sat up a bit more, gazing at the ceiling, "And the icing to top it all off is..uh.."

Mal was unsure how he was going to word this, it's not something you openly say to a stranger, considering the nature of it. "Today is the anniversary of a tragedy that happened three years ago."

Mal would look drop his gaze for a moment, looking at Emily, he'd chew on the side of his inner cheek, thinking as he did.

Mal would give a bit of a sigh, "Yeah, I suppose so. It just gets hard on this day, other days are easier honestly." Mal averted his eyes, looking at the aisles of books, he did this in thought of Emily, she seemed very nervous to just be talking to him, he didn't want to make her more uncomfortable.

"How would you feel about talking about yourself some? I'm feeling a bit guilty hogging the conversation." He'd smirk a little, Mal wasn't too big on sharing personal details willy-nilly, so he wanted to shift the spotlight for a bit.

Mal would nod a bit, materializing a coin in his hand to fidget with. "Tha'ts pretty cool, following in your parent's footsteps I suppose, well at least your father. Unless you fortune tell on the side, then you really are, and you'd be quite a double threat"

He was making idle conversation but it was more to alleviate the pressure from her. "Well, psychology is fun anyways, knowing how people tick and why they do things one way or another is fascinating." He thought about psychology for a while, the subject really interested him and he wanted to but he wasn't sure if he'd be doing the right thing when committing to it.

Mal would get a little flush himself, he really needed to work on his thought process a bit better. "Oh..right, island of people with super powers, sorry about that. Well-" Mal would clear his throat, running his right hand through his hair. "-That's pretty cool as well, fortune telling, seeing the future, I'd ask for the lotto numbers but I'm not one for cheating." He'd give a soft chuckle, trying to lighten up a bit.

"I took an interest in it for a bit, took a class on it during highschool, I was very interested in Jungian psychology. But I'm undecided here, unfortunately, so many things to be able to do and so on."

Mal would nod a bit, probably something to do with the inexact nature of time itself, but magic had plenty of power to do plenty of things to do. So perhaps it had to do with the experience of the user, so many factors to consider in figuring out some powers. "Yeah, things never are that simple. Ah well, still seems useful, knowing the future even if you can't get the exact details."

Mal would rub his jaw, with an uneasy smile on his face. "Currently I'm undecided in what I want to major in. So I'm doing some general schooling and trying to get a job while I figure everything out." Mal would give a bit of sigh, the reminder of his indecision was a bummer, but he was working on it.
