I see... [She trails off, looking back at the window as if maybe it'll pop up once more. With how sudden it appeared to begin with, she wouldn't be surprised if it did.] Hopefully it won't come back.
[Although she doesn't even believe her own words. Things always have a way of getting worse.]
The power will have to come back on soon enough. [a beat] Or we could try walking the rest of the way from here to the station.
[She says as she takes another look towards the window... Not that she has any idea how far they are either, but hey, it's an option. Probably not a good one, but an option nonetheless.]
[She'd like to believe that, but CERES hasn't been the most reliable. Not really. And they basically own everything here, from the metrorail to whatever's producing the electricity in this city. Ugh.]
But we don't know that, or how far we are from the station. [Not that she wants to stay trapped, but maybe if she glances at the time, she could figure out how far they got before everything shut down.
Which would be a solid plan, if her device were working.]
If you need something like that to help you, then it really must be a lot... [Although she's not sure if she should be impressed by his apparent skill or wary of his lack of care.]
[Internally there's a thought along the lines of "SO THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS DO FOR EACH OTHER???" but no she knows better than to actually question that out loud......]
I'll admit that I'm not an expert. I've only used it for survival's sake.
[But Hiro was quick with adapting on the fly and learned from harsh experiences.]
But I can definitely give professionals a run for their money. No doubts about that. [In the first world, he still remembers smashing Yamato's face into the ground with his power. Taking him on was no cake walk either with the power of the Dragon Stream.]
That sounds rather impressive by itself. [Taking on professionals is already what you'd call good, isn't it...] Although it may be harsh, necessity and survival's sake is usually a good teacher.
[She's had more than her own share of experience with that. Of course, "survival" warped into "kill everyone" for her eventually, so she's not too proud of her experience.]
That is pretty harsh... But you're right about that. [For a second, he'll look at his hand, ball it into a fist and smile as if he's grasping something important.] As the saying goes... Danger leads to opportunity. If I didn't go through those experiences, then I wouldn't had gained anything.
[All things considered, he could've whined and complained about been forced to fight for survival and being the representative and guardian of mankind, but in the end... He made the choice to accept his own destiny and not run away from whatever awaited him. One big lesson that he learned that his choices mattered.]
The new administration seems receptive to our input. [Although that's a big "seems". Making your debut via a grisly murder scene didn't inspire much trust.] Maybe they'll actually listen to us if we complain.
[Let the hugging and shaking and crying be forgotten...]
This many people supposedly being in debt should be a big enough issue to address, shouldn't it? It's a matter of money after all. [Governments care about that at least, right?? But if otters are the ones left in charge of money, maybe not.]
Maybe, maybe not. We are outsiders and don't need to be privy to certain information, even information that involves us.
[why share things with people who need to know nothing? any good evil organization keeps its minions or prisoners or whatever you wanna call them in the dark about as much as possible.]
That seems rather backwards when they supposedly needed our help in the first place. [She wouldn't put it past them, but man... They've done a pretty bad job of convincing them that they're needed.]

whoops i am even more late
She's not feeling very optimistic, though. So, she shakes her head.]
The damn electricity is still off. [Ughhhh...] I think we're stuck.
we must break this lateness cycle
[She says as she takes another look towards the window... Not that she has any idea how far they are either, but hey, it's an option. Probably not a good one, but an option nonetheless.]

It sounds like you have very good friends.

We're a ragtag bunch of eccentrics! [There's a pause.] Thoooough since you knew what I was casting... Does this mean that you can use magic too?

A little bit. I'm still in the middle of learning though.
