[Ruka frowns too. Still incredibly uneasy, but also confused.]

I don't know what to say, really.

[He frowns, thinking.]

Are you an empath?

[dragony]

Eh?

[She shakes her head.]

No, not like that. I make shields.

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

[Well, that isn't helpful.]

What kind of shields?

[dragony]

It's... a giant bubble. Sort of like a hamster ball, I guess.

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

[...what]

What sort of lame power is that?

[dragony]

[She frowned more, crossing her arms in front of her chest.]

It means that I can walk through a fire, collapsing building, crowds of zombies, radiation, and have someone try to drop a street on me and not get hurt.

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

Lemme guess, you've done all that already?

[dragony]

[She nodded, still looking displeased. Man crazy hobo guy she just wants to go home now.]

Yeah. So, I don't know why you're not invisible to me.

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

[Shut up, we're keeping at this until we find out the answer.]

That makes no damn sense.

[dragony]

[sob I'm going to miss my train.]

Sorry...

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

[stfu loli]

What's your name anyway? I can't keep calling you kid.

[dragony]

... Ruka.

[No last names. Everrrrrrr.]

Who're you?

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter.

[He's looking her over.]

Y'know, is it possible that the porter gave you a power you didn't know about?

[dragony]

[She shakes her head.]

I've been here for a little over a year, now.

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

A year? Jesus Christ, that's long.

[dragony]

[She nods]

Yeah, it is.

[man can she go now, crazy information-demanding nameless homeless guy.]

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

[okay yeah, you can go.]

Right. Ruka the kid who can see invisible people. You didn't see me. You're not going to mention this conversation to any of your friends because too many people know me already. I'm going to leave and you'll go on your merry way, alright?

[dragony]

[She nods once, pursing her lips together in a thin line. Man, when you say it like that, she wonders if maybe he's a villain. Man if he winds up killing someone she's going to hate herself.]

[But getting away now sounds like a good idea, so Ruka takes two steps back before turning and running.]

[She probably shouldn't have told him her actual name, either. Whoops.]

[idkmybffpigeon.livejournal.com]

[Watching her as she started to run, Claude turned around and started walking in the complete opposite direction. Hopefully he wouldn't see her again.]

[...]

[Like that would happen.]
