Something like that.

But that's not the important part. The point is-- it was a reflection of my life back home.

Back home, I had to work my butt off to get anyone to take me seriously. I could have come up with the best plan or gotten the best scores, and half the time it still wouldn't have been enough. People had this image of me in their head I couldn't budge.

You want to find out what yours is? Start there. The things in your life that frustrate you the most. The things that you'd give anything to change.

Then it sounds like you better get to work.

In my experience, only straight-forward people get straight-forward powers.

Hey, think of it this way: any old idiot can throw fire.

It's a compliment, numbnuts.

Besides, how often do you need to throw fire at something?

I don't know about you. But between you and me? I'd rather have something that's actually useful in everyday life.

[reproached]

yeah

assuming i do have something useful

[purrsistence]

Tell you what.

If it turns out to be useless, I'll treat you. Restaurant of your choice.

can't say no to that
