Comments

[therewerefifty]

...hello. [Magic exists, okay, she knows that in an abstract sort of way, but--] How are you doing that?

[She's never seen someone walk on air before.

[passingthrough]

I'm just stepping on the individual molecules in the air. [You know, as people do...] I guess I didn't mention the powers before?

[therewerefifty]

[Oh, right. Molecules.

...what's a molecule. Look she's just gonna let that go. The surprise leaves her expression by degrees.]

No, but that's all right. It just wasn't expected. It looks... useful.

[passingthrough]

[She steps back down to ground level.] I can walk through things too. Definitely useful.

[therewerefifty]

[Extremely useful.]

Does it hurt?

[passingthrough]

No. Except in some extreme cases. [Which she probably isn't going to elaborate on because weaknesses aren't something she hands out on a silver platter even to people she wouldn't expect to use them against her.]

Did you want to try it?

[therewerefifty]

[Her kneejerk reaction is to demur; it's not her power, it's not something she needs to trouble Kitty for. But then...

Well, it's useful to know just what people can do on board, isn't it? If she's the tactical officer, especially so. Makie resheathes the machete and lays it down on the conveyer belt.]

Do I have to do anything in particular?

[passingthrough]

[Kitty doesn't mind. It can be a nice bonding thing—someone trusting her with it. Of course it can also be a test to see if they will reject that part of her. She's had a lot of experience with being hated and feared for it.] Hold my hand and don't let go. [She holds it out for the other girl.]

[therewerefifty]

All right. [Really, that's it? But she doesn't let the hesitancy show on her face, standing up to take Kitty's hand in a sure grip.]

[passingthrough]

[That and this next part. Kitty does all the heavy lifting by means of phasing her too.] Okay. Just take a step up. [She demonstrates as if walking up an invisible stair.]
