[Electricity crackles across the screen -- no, wait, the electricity is actually flowing around the twelve-year-old boy standing some distance away. This may be the first time most of Vatheon has seen Ky out of his uniform. It's sitting neatly folded on the desk. Ky isn't sure why he woke up in it, but he knows he hasn't earned it yet.

He frowns and shuts his eyes in concentration, muttering under his breath.]

Come on...

[The electricity concentrates around his hands, and he opens his eyes and starts to smile before it goes shooting out, some towards the ceiling but most disappearing into the air. There's a reason he picked as empty of a space to practice in as he could.

He closes his eyes to try to concentrate again, but gets only a very weak crackle that soon fizzles out for his efforts.]

I'll have to try again later.

[He pads over to study the SFC, obvious confusion on his face at the fact that it's on. He's only used it for texts, and he doesn't seem to have an incoming message.]

What are you doing now?

_{[He looks at Ky, unsure.]}

...It's fine. I can stay here.

[action]

[closedcircuit]

Would you feel safe to do so?

If you don't feel comfortable staying with me, there's a woma who gave me a map who seems very nice. Maybe you could stay with her.

[action]

[brokenfool]

I... don't know.

_{[In fact he still isn't sure if he feels safe at all. He wants to feel safe but... he's still afraid that those people will find him. Or that someone will tell them where he is.]}

Perhaps we can start with just going to grab some food in a restaurant?

[action]

[brokenfool]

_{[He's hesitant.]}

... Is there a lot of people there?

[action]

[closedcircuit]

It depends on where we go. Probably.

[action]

[brokenfool]

_{[He nods in response. He doesn't really want to go to a place that would be crowded with people. In fact he would rather stay away from crowds at least for now. He doesn't feel safe there.]}

[closedcircuit]

Which would you prefer? We can check out places before we have a seat to make sure you'll be comfortable there.

[action]

[brokenfool]

...Can we go to a place without too many people?

[action]

[closedcircuit]

Of course.

[Earnest beam.]
