Snippet #1628882

Ace huffed and awaited the explanation, wondering what Zoe would be able to conjure up this time. He couldn't even make a guess. Then again, he supposed he was being a little rude, even though he wasn't expressing these thoughts out loud. He shouldn't be judging and after all he did feel strange after that...that unmentionable act that doesn't need to actually be spoken about. He should be more open minded, he supposed. She could fly. That should be reason enough to believe her.

"Not yet, but eventually. For now you'll be able to move lightweight things, hit your opponents, and maybe even confuse them a little." Zoe said after a few moments, then paused again. Still, after that sort of explanation, he couldn't help but feel a little skeptical all over again. "I'm a wind demon. That means I control wind. It's my element... The wings are just my own thing, though. So yeah, you aren't going to get them." He shrugged, figuring he didn't feel all that disappointed about that. Who needs wings? "My powers will eventually be the same as yours. Until then, you'll listen to me and train with me." Ace cocked his head, ready to say something about that, but quickly shut it. "Is your brother going to be here for the rest of the day or is he going somewhere?"

"Knock knock, Ace! You aren't doin' nothin' are you?" Speak of the devil... Ace turned around and opened his door, glaring halfheartedly at his older brother as he stood proudly in the doorway. "Hey, Ace, I need to go out to meet the guys. I'm trusting you here with her alone. Okay?"

Ace nodded and sighed, practically pushing Lan out the door of his bedroom. "Right, right, I gotcha. Have fun and all that jazz. See ya later," he said in a rush. Lan only laughed and pat him on the head before waving to Zoe, winking at her, then leaving the house. Ace looked after him for a moment, before sighing in relief and turning back to Zoe. "There, problem solved." He remembered he was going to try being nicer and more open about all this crazy stuff, so he clasped his hands together and forced himself to brighten up. "Alright, so what do I need to do first?"
