        “Why would you say that? I
           think it’s a very nice name. Oh.
           It’s about something called
           psychokinesis. It means someone
           who can…move things with their
           mind without having to touch it with
           their hands.”

    There. That works, right? Short, simple,
    and to the point. Sue’s far from an expert
    on the matter, but she’s well read and has…
    ample experience with it. Steering her mind
    from that night her smile dims just slightly
    and she looks at the girl with an almost sad
    glint in clear blue eyes.

    A very nice name?  Iblis   fights  the
    frown  from  its  lips as it looks away.
    It’s the name of a traitor – there isn’t
    anything nice about it.  But the word
    'psychokinesis’ has Iblis looking back
    up towards the woman,  listening idly
    to her explanation of it.  The creature
    has   knowledge   of   what   it   is –
    impossible   to   live   so long and not
    encounter it –  but there’s something
    about  her  mood  that  intrigues  Iblis
    into inquiring more.

        "Do you have it?    Do you know
         someone?   I  think  it  would be
         difficult  to be  that  different,  to
         have    something   in  you  that
         people don’t   understand.     It’s
         frustrating not to be believed in.”

She stares at the other, a suspicious
frown marring her face.  Empath she
was not, but s o m e thing about him
made the little pink hairs on the back
of her neck stand up on an end. Jinx
grits her teeth, body tense under an
illusion of confidence and relaxation.

     ”Only to those that don’t know how
      to walk in them.  What’s it to you,
                                                 anyway?”

Iblis puts its hands behind its back, letting a
perfectly  innocent smile creep onto the Ifrit’s
face.     Perhaps it wasn’t the best performer.
The  smile  twitched in genuine amusement
at her words.

     "Oh, I’m afraid I’m one of those
      who  don’t  know  how  to walk
                                             in them.“

The  Ifrit  stood  en  pointe  playfully  to  display
the bare feet. It wasn’t the biggest fan of shoes.

     "And it’s nothing to me,   personally.    I
      just find them fascinating.        How tall
      are they?      Do you wear them out of a
      complex?      A fear of others not taking
      you seriously for your height?   I would
      assume not,    as you seem to display
      the pink quite proudly.     They do quite
      nicely with your outfit, I’m not criticising
       your style,  merely wondering whether
       aesthetics  match the practical uses.”
