[occulthymns]

Mushrooms.

[As evidenced by the various different kinds she's starting to chop.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You've got a definite theme going here, huh? I'm starting to feel like I'm in the Mushroom Kingdom.

[Flick, open. Flick, closed.]

[occulthymns]

Mushrooms are good.

[That's all she's saying, though she is glancing over at him when that incessant clicking starts getting irritating.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[It always does. He arches his eyebrows at her, waiting for her to say something.]

[occulthymns]

[Wait for it... waaait for it....]

Why do you keep messing with that thing?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Old habit. Never know when I might need it.

[At that his expression sours, and he jams the lighter back into the pocket of his fleece jacket, which has a patch with a logo much like this on the arm. It'll be a long time before he stops being pissed off about the loss of his powers, and even longer before he accepts that they're gone for as long as he's here.]

[occulthymns]

A tiny flame...? Seems pretty useless to me.

[She raises an eyebrow, noticing the patch after a moment. Huh, is that supposed to be a school?]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Not when you're pyrokinetic.

[Eurgh, it actually physically hurts not to be able to pull out his lighter and play with a handful of flame. It's been a part of him for so long, this feels like losing a limb.]

[occulthymns]

... When you're what?

[The mushrooms and some crushed garlic which goes into a skillet and on an ancient-looking stove.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He rolls his eyes, taking his irritation out on her because he's a mature adult.]

Never heard of telekinesis? Moving things with your mind? It's like that, but with fire. I can make it do whatever I want.

[Could. No. He won't say it. He's not giving up.]

[occulthymns]

[She frowns, but gestures at him. Because said stove is a wood burning stove and she's going to start adding wood.]

Then come over here and be useful.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He practically snarls at that, clenching his hands into fists.]

I can't do it anymore, okay? Not since I got here. That's why I'm just a bit on edge.

[occulthymns]

Then don't say you can do it if you can't!

[She's snapping that back at him before grabbing a book of matches. Oldschool over here.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I'll get it back. I don't give a shit what I have to do, I'll get it back.

[His stare at those matches is almost longing, but then he pulls himself back together and crosses his arms over his chest, tipping slightly onto the back legs of the chair.]

[occulthymns]

No you won't.

[Might as well be blunt. She'll get a flame going on the match, then toss it into the wood chamber.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Hey, fuck you, Euri. You have no idea who I am or what I'm capable of. Screwing up a mutant's powers isn't something one of us can just ignore.

[occulthymns]

Then you're a fucking idiot! [Whoops, outburst.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[In one swift movement, he's out of his chair and bearing down on her.]

Say that again.

[occulthymns]

[She flinches a bit, but still makes an effort to hold her ground.]

You're a fucking idiot.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You're lucky you're three feet tall, otherwise I'd kick the shit out of you for that.

[Says the guy who's three and a half inches taller than her.]

[occulthymns]

I'm not that short! [Not that she wants him kicking the shit out of her, of course.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

What, you want a beating? Keep talking, it won't take long.

[He's also speaking as someone who's had the ability to throw massive walls of flame for so long that he's never really learned to throw a punch. But he's not backing down, so the threat stands.]

[occulthymns]

[And given that Euri has a tendency to make really stupid decision, she isn't backing down. Why should she? This is her house and he's the one being an asshole.]

Fine. You're an idiot and a blowhard and if you keep acting this way someone around here is going to hand you your ass!

1/2

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[For a minute, it really does look like he's going to kick her into the fire. His whole body is quivering with anger, his eyes unnaturally bright, and he's this close to screaming out his fury at his inability to just draw the flames out from the oven and use them to knock her through one of her precious mushroom's walls.]

2/2

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[But she's just a stupid, mouthy girl, and he's not going to waste his energy on her. He's got bigger targets to take down here. So he turns away and storms over to the door, tossing one last comment over his shoulder.]

Keep your mushrooms. They're as full of shit as you are.

[And with that, he's gone.]
