Snippet #1175682

Kasna stared at William's cheeks as they flushed a hot pink across his golden skin. Not only was she amazed by the glowing hue, but blushing was such a human action - it was... weird, seeing him as someone normal. She couldn't help but smile; it was adorable watching him drop his guard, even though it was only for a second. A small part of her wanted to touch them, but she was able to resist, not wanting to come off as weird or give him the wrong impression.

As the man's blush faded away, so did Kasna's thoughts. She listened intently as he began to explain his powers.

"Wow... How do you feel having this power?" she asked. "Have they ever worked against you?" She quickly bit her lip. "I apologize for asking if it's personal..."

She closed her eyes, suddenly felt light-headed, and placed her hand on her forehand while the other reached into her pocket a fished out a capsule with her name on its label. She popped open the capsule with her thumb, removed her hand from her forehead, and opened her eyes to pour two pills into her hand. She put both iron pills into her mouth then swallowed them whole. She stuck out her tongue and twisted her face with disgust as she pout the capsule back into her pocket.

"Pardon me..." she murmured, slightly embarrassed and dizzy. "I need to sit down."

She headed towards the wall slowly, hoping that he would follow.
