Vi looked up at him and smiled softly. "Yeah, that's fine." She said. She didn't mind waiting. At least she could see what life in the camp was like in the meantime. She had always wanted to see what it was like, see how people lived with their powers, without being restricted on them so much. She never liked having to hide her's.

"Yeah, I have one. It's next to Shane's. Thanks for the offer, though." Vi said. She then sighed. "Man, I haven't actually slept in a nice, warm bed in a long time. Feels like I've been camping forever."

ooc: I'm sure they'll be back.

//It's late, everyone's asleep, and I can't continue without Waak or Wyl.//

"Sure. That'd be nice." Vianne smiled. "I mean, I don't really have much to unpack. I pretty much only have my backpack of stuff. It may take some getting used to, being in a furnished place again." She chuckled a bit.

"Hmm...." Vi looked around for something she might want to do. She had been outside in nature enough, but hadn't fully explored the camp yet. Then again, she would probably have plenty of time to do that later. It would be nice to get settled in. "Let's just go now." She said.

Asa skid to a halt just behind Shane after they entered the hospital, trying to control her ragged breathing pattern. Her throat felt so sore, now, like sandpaper had scratched off all the skin in her esophagus. "Will he be OK- Ehhhg... ah... AHCOO!" Why did she have to wander in the middle of a storm like that? So stupid...

Nathan had seen the little thing between Vi and Ray and was so confused now. "Since when had that happened?" He asked, even more confused then before. "Ray and Vi? This'll be interesting. I just hope he doesn't hurt her or something." He said, thinking he'd probably need to go through his mind a little to see if he's truly trustworthy.

"Hmm?" Vi slowed her pace only slightly to see what Ray was talking about. She then spotted Nathan, looking more than a little confused. She chuckled. "So I see." She grinned. Vianne then waved to him. "Hi, Nathan!" She called out, wondering how he would respond.

((Nathan wouldn't know that. ))

Nathan raised an eyebrow at the couple as he walked over to them. "Did I miss something?" He asked cautiously. "Or are you two just pulling a prank on everyone?" He joked with them.

Vi chuckled. "Miss what?" She asked innocently. "I can't think of anything you would have missed out on. I mean, Ray and I have been talking, and there was that kiss at the lake..." She trailed off, pretending to think of something else that might have changed, as if the kiss was nothing. She then shrugged. "Nope. Can't think of a darn thing. Must be my bad memory."

"Ah!" Vi gasped in realization. "Oh, of course. How did it slip my mind?" She facepalmed. "Yeah, it was your decision. I remember that you did initiate the kiss."

Nathan smiled as the two obviously pretended to be forgetting something. "Well, that's interesting." He said, a smirk on his face. "Anything else happen?" He winked.

Nathan gasped as he heard what Ray said. "Leaving?!?" He asked not really understanding why anyone would want to leave. "Why? Why you even consider leaving?" He asked, his voice rising a bit as he was talking to them, not enough to be yelling though.

((OOC: Sorry I wasn't on much. I actually got to sleep at a decent time last night. And today I've things to do.))

Michael felt slightly panicked when he felt himself being lowered into the stretcher. He didn’t have a problem with stretchers, or hospitals, rather. But with his mind a bit muddled, he wasn’t thinking clearly. He didn’t make the connection that he’d been set down on the stretcher to receive medical attention in the hospital. All he realized was that he was losing contact with Shane, and he didn’t want to be alone.

Managing to look around a bit, he saw ceiling tiles go by as he was moved down the hallway and into a room. More importantly, however, he saw that he was not alone. Michael sighed softly in relief. He would have preferred more familiar company – like Asa or Shane – but he wasn’t about to be picky. Not that he’d ever voice his concerns, anyways.

Nathan looked to the ground as he heard the pyro's explanation. "Oh." Was all he could think to see at the moment. "Well, I wish you two best of luck, when you leave of course." He said.

Nathan laughed at Ray's comment about bulking up. "Well, just look at these things." He said, lifting his arms up for the two to see. They were pretty skinny. "These aren't really arms, more like sticks. Really skinny sticks." He said, laughing again.

Vi laughed, having been listening to the whole conversation. "Heh, well I'm no bigger than you guys. And I'm short to boot." She chuckled.

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with my height." Vi pointed out. "But I'm almost always looking up at people. I dunno, it'd just be nice to be tall and look down on someone else for a change." She shrugged.

Nathan again laughed as he heard Vi talk down on herself. "Well, you're not too short. Like Ray said, just perfect." He said winking again. He was gonna be doing that a lot when talking to the couple. "Eh, I always have my telepathy if I have to get close to someone. I just need to learn how to use it to mess someone's mind up....." He trailed off. He backed up,putting his hands up in the air as he heard Ray's threat. "Hey, I'm no snitch." He joked.

Vi's smiled faded as she heard the telepath talk. She nearly frowned at the mention of his powers, how he intended to learn how to use them to mess with someone's mind. Thinking back to her previous encounters with telepaths, her hands balled into fists. "You really shouldn't use your powers like that." She said sternly. "Telepathy isn't something you can use just all willy nilly. One's thoughts are private, and they should stay that way. You have no right to read someone's mind just because you can. You just shouldn't mess with their mind."

Nathan had been about to say something about the time when he heard Vi's comment. "Well, when someone's coming at you with a sword, or a flaming beast, someone like me, a telepath, has to have some sort of way to protect myself." He said. "Plus, all I'd be doing is put unconscious. I don't know yet how to do that." He finished, getting ready to go back to his cabin.

"That's no excuse. A telepath has more abilities besides just being able to read someone's mind. You can find some other way to defend yourself, that doesn't involve screwing with something that you have absolutely no business messing around with. It just isn't right, no matter how you look at it." Vi said.

"I'm sure he'll be fine" The nurse said to the two of them, assuring them of their friends safety.

Shane looked over to his light-bending friend, she had been sneezing like she had some sort of allergy, he was getting concerned, "Maybe we should check you in here too, eh?" He joked, trying to lighten the mood. "What exactly has been making you sneeze so much lately?" He was expecting some snide remark about how his face was making her sick, they always joked about eachother, gentle insults.

Nathan turned back around as he heard the two's comments. "Let me give you a scenario." He said. "You're all by yourself. There's a flaming beast of some sort flying towards you, and you're a telepath. You don't know how to put someone under without using your powers," he said looking at Ray "and plus, you couldn't touch the beast, it's on fire. And you don't have a means to get water. What do you do?" He finished, crossing his arms.

"Simple, being a telepath, one can assume you have other psychic powers. You could use such abilities like telekinesis, or energy blasts to defend yourself with. You don't need to mess with their mind just to survive. And there are other ways to put out fire." Vi said.

Nathan sighed as he heard Vi's comment. "As a telepath myself, I tell you one thing. I've had a good five years or so of training with my powers, and I still can't levitate a rock that would be big enough to stop the fire beast in time to protect myself. And I'm pretty sure that pebbles wouldn't effect it. And if a beast made of fire is hurting at you, you wouldn't have enough time to do enough damage with the small-level powered blasts you could throw at it." He finished.

"It wouldn't take much to bring someone down, if you were smart enough to know how. There are pressure points on the body that if struck hard enough, and it doesn't take much, that it will stop a person on knock them unconscious. It's quite simple, you levitate a small rock, strike a pressure point just right, and they should be down. You don't have to get burned, you don't need water, and you don't need to mess with their mind." Vi folded her arms stubbornly.

Nathan sighed, putting a hand to his temples and rubbing them a bit. "What we're dwelling with in this scenario is an outcast, or something else, who can turn into a beast made of fire. When I mean beast, I pretty much mean it's a ball of fire that has a had and that's about it." He explained. "Anyway, you really would t have time to think of a plan when it hurtling towards you." He said.

"Ugh, fine. Whatever. Abuse your powers then. Mess with people's minds. Great way to make friends, by the way." Vi huffed. She then started marching off towards her cabin.

Nathan sighed as he saw Vi walk off. "For self-defense only!" He called back after her. He then looked at Ray. "I'm gonna assume you're gonna side with her?" He said.

//if you watch stuff like X-men, Xavier uses his powers for good, he uses them in the right moments and I suppose he most usually asks for permission before entering someones mind.//

((That's kind of what Nathan is trying to say. He's not that good at saying thing straight forward. ))

Nathan shrugged, understanding why she was being so argumentative. "Still, when it's used for self defense it's not really bad..." He said, his head going down as he saw Ray walk off too. "Well, chances with being friends with Vi: 5." He said.

ooc: I have watched X-Men, and Xavier uses his powers responsibly. Vi, however, has her reasons for hating telepathy. She has nothing against Nathan, she just hates the power.

Vi was grumbling under her breath as she stomped through camp. She arrived at her cabin, opening the door, and slamming it behind her. She took her backpack off, dropping it there, and headed over to the couch. She plopped down, laying down on her stomach, and burying her face in a pillow.
