Snippet #2627808

She didn't pale, but she paused, knowing that they all likely had some ability. It wasn't in the report they'd received, but it was easy enough to deduct given her own situation. No, the real issue was revealing those abilities. While they might or might not have ended up deciding to share it with each other, the fact was they were in a stranger's home- most likely one of the scientists. Now, she wasn't sure who'd want to share anything with them, though it was entirely likely that the scientists might have already known.

She didn't feel entirely comfortable about that Alex fellow- he made her feel more uneasy than anything else. His smile initially made her feel at ease, and she had a sense she wanted to like him more than anything, but the moment she'd looked away she felt more uneasy about him than ever, though the underlying desire to like him still remained. His entire aura seemed to have a certain amount of influence, and she was more wary than ever with him in the room.

Still, Amelia didn't move, watching silently as the conversation progressed, fiddling with her fingers as she did so. Normally, she'd have jumped right into the situation, being a cheerful social type of person, but her anxiety kept her quiet and reserved, with no desire to get up or do anything but listen right now, which it seemed no one was going to mind her doing. She jotted down notes about her observations on Alex on one of the pages, then shut her notebook again, watching them once more.
