[i]"It's... Complicated. Some mages use magic from a source, some use it from a source of ethereal energy - I get all my magic from my genes."
Nat's case was strange, in that magic-blockers would rarely ever affect her, though at the same time, her magical growth was limited to her using the full extent of her genes.
"My mother was something called a Tempest, which is basically some sort of time mage. I got gravity as a modified gene, sorta." [/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]
-
[i]Helena looked back over to Natalie, head tilting to the side.[/i] "So?"
