Snippet #1363931

"Yeah..." Annette blushed, "Or something like that, anyway. I wish I knew who it was." She gave him a special grin that told him she knew he had given her the rose. "So, I showed you mine, now you show me yours." She nudged her head in the direction of his bedroom next to hers. While doing so, she closed her bedroom door and locked it from the inside again.

Downstairs, Jason listened with careful intent while Livana explained her discovery, making all the right faces at the right time. When Tristan came in and pointed out the abilities of everyone else, Jason jumped. He had been enthralled with Livana. He knew about Annette's ability, of course, and she of his. But now the biggest thought was what Saizo's ability was. He barely heard Tristan ask him about his.
Jason turned to Tristan with one of his infamous smart-alec grins. "I'm only the strongest man you'll ever meet." He said passively, and before he was threatened to prove so, Jason waltzed over to the dining table and lifted it with one hand completely off the floor. "Oh and you have that weird ability to... I don't know, calm people down or whatever." For once, Jason didn't say it in a mean way, but he generally did not know how to describe Tristan's ability besides that. It had kept Annette from ripping his eyes out earlier.
