Shun gave her a sharp glare.
Huffing with irritation, he moodily made his way towards the couch, but he remained standing.

She snickered into her milkshake and let out a long yawn as she stretched out on his couch.
"No," and it was a surprisingly straight answer from her. "S'this more magic stuff?" There was trepidation in her voice, and she was worried about what he was about to say.

"Yes. Apparently people who get 'special powers' usually end up getting those dreams. And getting those dreams means being able to cross over to that side. This is not the case with myself, and apparently not with you. So we are outliers... of the outliers."
That sounded great for certain. He let out a sigh before rubbing his forehead lightly. Yeah, he definitely still had a headache right about now. Chel being annoying wasn't really helping with that much.

"Good," was all Chel said stubbornly before taking another long sip. Between this and Jack she wanted to bury her face in it at this point.

Shun watched her for a moment, waiting to see if she had anything else to add to that. Apparently not.
"It may not remain that way, Chel," he uttered lowly. He walked on back towards the kitchen to sit at the counter instead, setting his glass down for the time being. He had mixed feelings about all of this. On one hand, everything that dealt with Other Ashdown sounded like a major pain in the a**. On the other, he did perceive it as a problem. And right now, he was pretty useless in doing anything about it other than to act as a watchdog of sorts; alerting those who can act if he stumbles upon anything.
That part didn't sit all too well with him. He typically preferred to take things into his own hands if possible.

Chel really wanted to cash in her "shut up Chel" checks for one "shut up Shun" check but she knew it wasn't the kind of thing that flew by him.
"Why's that?" she entertained, pressing the cup against the side of her head. She had found it was surprisingly easy to fill conversations with questions like that. Why is that? What do you mean? Then what?

"Because people like us do not typically happen. The abilities could very well be a precursor of sorts to the dreams for all I know," he explained. Jeremiah never said anything to that affect, so it very much was a guess on his part. Perhaps he was trying to rationalize how they were able to get these abilities in the first place.
Magical things seemed to be associated with Other Ashdown one way or another. The fact that they had magical abilities meant they had some sort of connection or were at least influenced by that realm, right?

"What d'you mean 'people like us don't happen'?" Now it was a genuine question with a bit of anger behind it. "We're normal." As far as Chel knew, werewolves and magic portals were not normal.

"Like hell we are, Chel. You shoot energy pellets or some s**t and I move things with my mind. We are no longer 'normal'," he hissed.

And it's the same thing Jack said; we can't do anything about it.
"That can't be it" she insisted, "I'll find a way t'reverse it if I have to." More mumbled, "Even f'I do it alone."

"How the ******** do you reverse something like this even? We barely even understand this s**t in the first place."
He shook his head, resting his arms against the counter.

"I don't know!" she snapped.
The glass was set down on the table. "M'tired of people actin' like I should just accept this s**t though. M'not gonna." And Chel was stubborn.

"Well you can continue to play ignorant until s**t goes down again, and you know it will. Or you try to ******** adapt," he snapped right back. It was the only reason why he's tried to master his mental lifting powers.

Chel snapped her fingers and fired a bullet that doink'd against the side of his head.
"Adapt to that a*****e. M'not in the mood." Which was a surprising admonition from a person that never admitted it.

Shun's fingers twitched as he took a shot to the head. The temptation to retaliate was strong, but he held back for now.
"Neither am I. Get out," he only said instead. This did nothing to help his headache. No, it was doing quite the opposite.
