[Ava much preferred this over just going to see him in cryo, seeing him there, frozen and unaware. She's just glad that he came back, that she can touch him again, that she can watch his breath and feel the warmth through his shirt. She knew he wasn't dead, but that didn't mean that it didn't feel almost like dead. And if he hadn't come back-- she doesn't like to think about it, honestly.
So instead, let's talk about dragons!] You're right. I always wanted a dragon, ever since I first heard about them. When I was in 7B I thought they were something you could raise like a cat or a dog, you know?
[There had been a number of ways that the world did not work quite the way that she had thought that it did. Although finding out about dragons had honestly been the most disappointing. She finished with his hand, letting it drop slowly, and that's when he talks about powers and she frowns softly.]
If it is a power, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion that it's useless so quickly. Things like this- accidents? For me, those sort of things were shades of what I could do. And at first it was hard for me to even get a charge to dance between my fingertips.
[Well, intentionally, she means. And she's not counting the nightmares, because that wasn't so much about accidental as it was having her powers react to her dreams. Terrible for everyone, really.]
Well, mine are different, but sometimes. Mine can build up, so it feels like this sort of tension. And for me, there are triggers- situations where my powers can activate without me necessarily intending them to. If my heartrate spikes, adrenaline, fighting- If you have powers, coming out of cryo could have been enough of a system shock to trigger it.
