"Maybe I could let you dream of fire," she said, "whatever calms you." Then she asked him, "Is there anything that calms you or makes you happy besides fire?" She was confused usually she knew people who had many things like rainbows or just things like flying, she never had anyone who wasn't sure before.
 
     
 
"Well... Other than that, I just know some breathing techniques and mantras that calm me down. Apologies." He was feeling like more of a hassle now that he didn't know what he liked or didn't like.
     
"Maybe just colors or a happy memory," she inquired. It was a good thing that she encountered someone like this now because then she would know what to do in the future.
 
     
 
Saïx thought for a moment then came up with his answer. "I guess before my abilities manifested I was happy. Nowadays I don't classify things like that. So, I guess If I had control over myself It would be good."
     
"Okay I am able to bring memories before you recieved your powered. Do you want to do this now? You seem kinda stressed already," she said noticing his eyes everchanging colors.
 
     
 
Saïx stopped and under his well constructed facade he was shocked that he let himself be so loose with his emotions. As a result of this his eyes shifted immediately to an electric blue as a light mist rose from his body. "Heheh... Well, I'm just not used to talking to people. That's all." He closed his eyes and relaxed his body. Breathing deeply, he released his anxiety and the mist dissipated. However, when he opened his eyes the electric blue coloring of his irises stayed. "I guess I should... Go to sleep now, that is."
     
"Where shall we go," she asked, in her eyes question and her head tilted. She wondered if they should go into his room, where it was more comfortable and relaxing for him.
 
     
 
Saïx laughed nervously. He'd had a conversation like this before but that time it was with a therapist and the entire building was vaporized as soon as he laid down. "Uh... I guess that chair from before. I always sleep in it. I have a room but It is only used for storage of my stuff." He looked over and saw the box. Immediately he thought about what would happen with it once he fell asleep. Hopefully she won't get curious and look in it... He thought, Pandora's box all over again. Well, there wasn't anything that bad in it, just some material memories from his past life but he usually keeps that kind of stuff to himself.
     
"Okay," she said and led him over to the chair and sat him down, "Close your eyes and think of those good memories." She made her hands hover over his eyes and waited patiently for him to relax and slowly fall asleep. She knew that she would also see what he was seeing and end up falling asleep too. That was one of the downfalls to her powers because she would sometimes cry at the sadness of some of the dreams. As soon as he fell asleep, she closed her eyes and kneeled on the ground. She made him dream of when he didn't have powers and saw them too. She never talked about what she saw in the dreams, but always thought of them.

((i gotta go be back much later.))
 
     
 
Saïx fell asleep and automatically thought of his middle school days when he was still a normal boy. Things were average, his family was normal, his friends were normal, and his life were normal. He was content as an average citizen. He never fell in love, he never got into fights, and never got bad grades. As a successful student Saïx was doing great, and as a citizen of the world and a sociable person he was adequate.
He remembered his home in Quincy, Illinois, just outside town in the country. Memories of his days in track and field flashed through his mind, he won first place in the Hundred meter hurdle three times in a row, an adept marksman with a Barret model 82A1 sniper rifle which his uncle got him a license for (with a lot of effort), and he had a lot of academic commendations in mathematics. His life at home seemed rather simple and quiet. It was enough for him, though. It was sad how such a good life was ripped to shreds by a genetic abnormality.
     
After a while of watching and giving those memories, Rose fell asleep. She didn't know that she fell asleep because she thought she was still kneeling and watching his dream with her eyes closed. "He had a charmed life," she thought, "Way different from mine...Mine didn't change from before I got my powers."

((back))
 
     
 
((So I heard you like Mudkips.))
     
((ehh...me?))
 
     
 
Saïx woke up, he had gotten too close to where his abilities manifested and a blue mist was now rising off of him and the iris of his eyes were now active and surging with movement within the molten electric blue pigment.. He looked around the room but stayed silent. Now, with his composure at full form he was as cold as ever. He looked down from the ceiling and saw rose kneeling nearby. Deciding not to wake her he reached over and silently picked up the box he walked in with earlier. It's been a long time since I opened this... He thought, I'd best not.
     
I'm cold and broken.

It's hopeless, the end will come and wash it all away,
Forsaken, I live for those I lost along the way.
And I can't remember how it all began to break.
We suffer, I live to fight and die another day.

Fast I fade away, it's almost over, hold on.
Slow, I suffocate, I'm cold and broken alone.

Rose saw the dream end and realized that she was sleeping. She forced herself awake and tried to stand up, but sleeping on her knees made her sore. She tried to stand up but her knees hurt too much. She looked around and saw that Saix woke up and was grabbing a box. "Hey," she said, "Can you help me up?"
 
     
"Give others freedom to be themselves.
Appreciate the differences between their ways and yours."
