Gabriel kicked a pebble as he walked, watching the sky. It was nice to be able to get outside once in a while, especially after such a long time spent in the hospital. He should really do this more often, the sky was really- He tripped, nearly flattening his face on the pavement and tumbling forward in the air as he instinctively levitated to avoid scraping himself up. He managed to get some sort of wobbly stability going on and was brushing himself off when he heard a giggle from a group of girls that were walking nearby. If he had been able to blush, his face would have been burning, but as it was, he just touched down and walked quickly away, looking for a secluded place. This is ridiculous, he thought. Absolutely ridiculous. He was always just spinning through the air like a clutz, and it was really not becoming. In his novels, wizards and stuff flew through the air like complete badasses, they didn't wobble like he did. He made up his mind. He'd get the hang of his flight or die trying. Looking around and making sure he was alone, he floated slowly upwards. He managed to keep himself stable and in an upright position. Bolstered by this success, he moved forward... and promptly dissolved into a tumble through the air and bounced off a tree branch. |

Louisa liked to keep an open mind on people's powers, to think that many things were possible. It tended to help save her from surprises, some of which were nasty, if you were at SIN. However, the sight of a floating boy who seemed to have walked out of a 80s film almost caused her to fall off her perch on the roof. Curiousity piqued, Louisa wandered over to the edge of the roof, wincing sympathically when the boy fell. "You alright, kid?", she asked, head tilted. |

Gabriel let out a groan, rubbing his side. That'd be sore for a few days, but at least he couldn't bruise. He nearly jumped out of his skin when the girl spoke, causing him to float upward and tumble through the air again. He nearly crashed into the girl, but managed to right himself enough to avoid collision. He felt his face burn, and looked at her sheepishly from under his hair. "I...er. Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." He touched down clumsily on the roof, sitting down with a slight "oof". Way to make a fool of yourself, Gabe, he thought. And right in front of a girl. Way to friggin' go, loser. He brushed some foliage off his bright blue hoodie, trying to look cool and composed. Thank god for his complexion. |

Tail swaying up to hip height, Louisa muffled a giggle by covering it up with a cough. It didn't seem fair to openly mock the kid, if he wasn't used to his powers yet. "Good, good to hear", she replied. He seemed kinda nice, and he didn't look like either a bully or an Elite. Smiling brightly, Louisa offered him a hand in greeting, and also to help him up. "That's a cool power you got there. Levitation, I guess?", she asked. |

Gabriel was a bit taken aback when Louisa offered him her hand. Taking it, he pulled himself up. He had to look down at her even on his own two feet, but that was alright. It made him feel a little better about making a fool of himself. "Eh... Yeah. I'm still getting the hang of it. I'm better when it comes to my other talent, I swear." He looked at the tail swaying behind her slightly, and his eyebrow twitched up a bit. "What's the tail for?" |

While she raised an interested eyebrow at the mention of another talent, Louisa glanced back, bringing her tail round and tilting to the side to keep balance. "Hm? Oh, it stops me falling off stuff. When climbing. And such." She shrugged, chuckling as she thought of something. "Kinda like a chameleon, I am." |

Gabriel's face lit up at the mention of chameleons. Instantly, thoughts of lizard men flitted through his head. "That... is so cool!" He nearly buzzed with excitement. "Is it just the tail, or...?" He trailed off, realizing he looked like an over excited little kid.

Louisa chuckled quietly, her tail curling up as if shy. "Well, true, it's not just the tail." She considered showing him her second power, other than the freaky limbs, but frowned upon it. They were still in SIN after all, and she still wasn't comfortable on it's grounds. Instead, Louisa pried off her shoes, made sure her feet could still curl, then ran and hopped off the roof, snagging the tree branch with a hand. As she swung herself up, her feet grabbed the branch also, so she hung upside-down, like a sloth almost. Letting go with one hand, Louisa grinned awkwardly, mumbling, "Ta-da." |

Gabriel grinned. She was so friggin' fast, he thought. He came to the edge of the roof, eyes bright. "Wow! Wish I was that good at maneuvering. I'm... well. You saw," he finished lamely. He was tempted to show her the mirror thing, but decided against it. He had to keep that to close friends, otherwise people tended to snitch on him about his nightly activities. He grinned a bit sheepishly. "I've been trying to get some practice in. I don't want to like, break the sound barrier or anything, I just wanna be able to not bang into things." |

Swinging herself up to sit on the branch, Louisa nodded, a slight agreement. "You seemed pretty good already, but fair enough. Guess you'd want some obstacles to practise with, so you could levitate around them. Maybe some work on balance too?" A memory popped into her head, and she grinned. "Say, have you seen that movie with the guy that makes a science-magic suit of armour, and he practises flying around in it?" |
