“If we don’t go dancing later, I hope you know that I’m going to be ridiculously disappointed.” It seemed like a waste if they didn’t go to at least one club like this.
“What kind of asshole do you take me for? This isn’t a sit around at home and watch shitty movies look,” he scoffed, eyes rolling as he began digging through numerous bags to find the right make up.
Being an energy conduit was a really bad lot when Mason’s job and life involved being around and occasionally taking down creatures and beings made of nothing but energy. One wrong step and boom. His granddad was right. It sure felt good to have that much power.
He’d had to test it out. It was an accident, definitely, of course. He hadn’t meant to fry that man. And he definitely hadn’t meant to slowly bleed that other one because he’d never absorbed a life before and slowly seemed better. He’d used his own lifeforce before to power a spell, to add an extra umpf when he needed to, and that always took time to recover from. Why hadn’t he just used someone elses? So much easier.

His brows furrowed and he looked at her in confusion. “I dunno what any’a that means, Kat.”
She sighed dramatically. “You really gotta watch Game of Thrones. Lyri’s been making us watch it and it’s super good. But like, isn’t the whole fire and ice thing a big contradiction? Could you set ice on fire or freeze fire? Cuz that would be cool too.”
