"Nat? Short for Natalie, I presume? Also, y'got mages 'ere? Huh... just've psychic peeps back home."
[i]Indeed, indeed... Helena wasn't quite used to the typical mages, but rather, just people who could use their mind to do things, like telekinesis and all that stuff. She shut her eyes for a moment, her head resting back while her hands blindly grabbed her bottle, ubsvewed the cap, and then also brought it to her lips, letting her take a deep swig.[/i]

[i]"Nah I'm cool with you staying." [/i]
-
"Nice, nice... Y're good company, y'know, Nat? I like 't."
-
[i]"Yeah, thanks. This is some good company." [/i]
-
[i]Hel nodded in agreement as she sipped her water, throat surprisingly dry after sleeping for... well, she don't quite know.[/i]
-
[i]Nat just kinda plopped down on the couch beside her. [/i]
-
[i]A silence settled in, broken only by their mutual breathing and Helena occasionally taking a sip of her water. It wasn't awkward, though, but rather... pleasant.[/i]
-
[i]Nat eventually turned on the TV, starting up some shows she had recorded onto a box. [/i]

"So then, considerin' how easygoin' ya are with a definite criminal, I take it ya've some familiarity with violence 'n all that crap?"
-
[i]"Yeah, a fair bit. I tend to keep more towards a less... Aggressive route, with how I do things." [/i]
-
"I just prefer t'shoot things in the face. Or t'blow 'em up. Or both." [i]A simple woman. She just shrugged, making a bit of an "oh well" gesture with her hands.[/i] "But y're a sneaky beaky, then?"
-
[i]"Yeah. It's a lot less messy." [/i]

"I see, I see... Stealth's not m'thing, even 'f I [i]can[/i] go full chameleon..."
-
[i]"Full chameleon?" [/i]
-
[i]Instead of explaining, Helena decided to demonstrate, instead, the skin that was visible - including her hair - taking the colours of her surroundings, causing her to blend in as she shifted her cell composition to be akin to that of a literal chameleon.[/i] "Like so."
-
[i]"...That's -blam!-ing dope." Was all Nat could manage to say. [/i]
-
"Thanks," [i]Hel responded with a grin on her face as she returned to normal, her golden eyes carrying a delighted twinkle.[/i]
-
[i]"Do you do that with your biomass thing?" [/i]
-
"Sure did! 'Tis a lov'ly power, I tell ya."
-
[i]"What do you usually use it for?" [/i]
-
"Not dyin'," [i]Came her awfully simplistic reply.[/i] "Since 't heals me."
-
[i]"Oh. So you've never, I dunno, -blam!-ed with people using it?" [/i]
-
"Oh, of course I've! It'd be a shame 'f I [i]didn't[/i] use m'shapeshiftin' t'juke some folks."
-
[i]"Heh. Lucky you." [/i]
-
[i]Helena just smiled, nodding in appreciation.[/i]
-
[i]"So..." [/i]
