Seth returned with four towels and a bucket of lightly soapy water. She set down the bucket, dropped a towel in it, and tossed the other three on the floor by the couch. She knelt down and took the towel she dropped in the bucket and wrung it out before placing it on the floor and gently wiping and buffing over the blood spots on the tile. Without looking up from her work she spoke to Maryl, "So what was it you wanted to ask me about?"

Maryl picked up a towel to help Seth clean up the blood. After getting the towel damp and wringing it out, she froze as soon as she placed it on the floor. As she heard Seth bring up her topic from earlier at dinner. She gripped the towel tightly as she worked up the courage to ask. "Well, I... I want to know what you are. What is it that makes you so... capable?"

Seth paused and sat still for a moment looking at the floor. She was stunned at the question regardless of the fact that she had a feeling that it was comming. "I... I don't know. I wish I had an answer for you, but I really don't." Not knowing was a rather crippling burden.

Maryl shook her head, "I'm sorry." She felt the grip of guilt as she attempted to get back to cleaning. "I'm... I feel the same way. I've been an orphan for as long as I can remember. I didn't have anybody to tell me about myself."

"Yeah, well, Dad has been pretty enigmatic about the whole thing. To be honest though, I don't think even he knows."

"It's strange isn't it? It's like we have to hide so much about ourselves to protect ourselves from the masses. Everybody wants to be viewed as unique, but they look down upon those who are different. Everybody wants power for some reason, but they immediately fear and hate those who have it."

Seth finished wiping up the blood around her and stood up. She tossed down a dry towel and buffed the floor with her foot as she wrung the wet towel out over the bucket, "Well, I'm not going to let it slow me down. We have just as much right to be here as everyone else, no matter what they say."

Maryl nodded, feeling somewhat better by Seth's defiance, "Yeah!" Finishing her share of the cleaning, she picked up her towel and stepped back to let Seth finish drying the floor. "So, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

In the sky, a young man flew down toward the house at high speed, and hits the ground hard enough to leave a shattered cracks. "Hi there! I'm here to repay my debt to you all." The crasher was none other than Dahn as he flew from Papi Sol to the home of Seth and her father in order to pay off his debt to them for allowing him to heal up within their home. "Got anyone living here from Hell by any chance?"

After hearing a loud crash Seth paused, a bit baffled by the return of the guy who had entered all beaten up earlier. "Oh, it's you again. People from hell?" She scratched her nose, "What or where is that?"
Kel heard a loud noise through the wall, but wasn't distracted enough to stop working.

Maryl looked up at the ceiling quizically, I wonder how he got back so quickly. She wasn't terribly sure what was going on, so she just smiled nervously and waited to see.

Seth sighed and collected the towels used to clean up before making a short trip to the laundry basket and dumping them in. After returning to the edge of the living room, she sat down on the steps to the landing. "...I mean it's nice of you and all but you don't owe us anything. We didn't really do much."

Maryl nodded and turned to Seth, "Sarah, lets just hear him out. I'm sure he means well." She put her hands together and bowed to the man. "Welcome, can I take your coat?"

Seth sighed and gave in, "Okay, okay..." Her eyes wandered to the cracked landing spot outside, then back to the man. "What's your name? and what is it you do anyway?" She stood up off the floor step and paced over to the front door, closing it and remembering to lock it this time.
