Nathanial was unsure if he should be flattered or insulted that Whisper thought he was weird and interesting, he decided that she seemed genuine in her interest of him and so he would not be insulted. Besides she was easier to talk to than many of the others he had met during the course of balls such as this one and he found he was enjoying her company. He had noticed her recoil when he had accidentally touched her arm earlier and wondered at it. He had been very angry and perhaps she had thought that he would hurt her? But then surely she would have taken the escape he had offered and get as far away from him as she could? Yet she had not, yes she was interesting indeed.

He stilled suddenly glass raised to his lips when she asked what his ability was, no one had ever outright asked him before and he was unused to such a direct approach. But then he could not blame her for being curious and he could not deny he was curious about her in return. Perhaps he could show her, after all where would the harm be as long as he was careful and kept the demonstration a small one. He was not yet in full control of his abilities but he could manage small things without losing control of it. He set his glass down on the bar and looked at her for a long moment trying to decide how she would react but it was impossible to tell and he would know soon enough.

"It would be easier to show you." He said and indicated that she should watch his glass, once he was sure her attention was on it he focussed on the glass.

He concentrated on the glass and mentally nudged it with his mind urging it to do as he willed it to, the glass slowly lifted into the air and hovered there a moment before moving into his outstretched hand.

"As this seems to be show and tell, perhaps you would like to return the favour?" He asked eyebrows raised questioningly.
