[magicink]

Why thank you. I think you are too.

[He also removed his shoes and rolled up his jeans. He glances up as she talks to him. He expected some cool cartwheel.]

Definitely.

[artistwithasickness]

[Maybe she was showing off. Maybe it was just because she's always wanted to do it. Just to see. It'd be filed away the rest of the little experiments she conducts on the people that brave dealing with her.

Devi slips her hands into her pocket and walks out onto the water. Her feet only went in a half inch and are shifting with a layer of purple energy as she started putting distance between them. After a few yards she turned around and withdraws a hand covered in the same energy, a finger crooked at him, daring him to test the illusion.]

[magicink]

[Julian stares at her shocked. He can't sense magic here since there isn't anything to draw on- unless he did his own hand. But that could really give away what he was. However, she's just shown him she's something magical.

He steps closer, trying to measure the distance she's above the ocean floor. It really only gets him wet.]

So... you use magic?

[artistwithasickness]

[She walked towards him, each step lowering her down a little further until she was knee deep.]

No.

[Yes. If you can count Supernatural and Magic as basically the same thing, yes, she did. It was something she had a different however incorrect explanation for.]

[magicink]

Oh? Then what do you call this?

[He watches fascinated as she moves lower.]

[artistwithasickness]

Ki.

Self generated energy that can be crafted and focused into many different uses.

[magicink]

[Oh, he knows which Tradition used that kind of magic.]

I'm honored you felt like sharing that with me. What made you feel comfortable enough with me to show me that?

[artistwithasickness]

[Devi looks amused and shrugs.]

It's not a secret. Most people don't know because they don't bother to.

[She grins.]

I've always wanted to pretend to be Jesus.

[magicink]

[He considers telling her what he is. Although he answers her other statement with a completely serious face.]

You looked just like him.

[artistwithasickness]

[She laughed, dropping her feet down to the sea floor and closing the rest of the distance between them.]

All I needed was a toga and a wire beard.

[magicink]

You're pretty cool, you know that?

[He tells her with a smile.]

[artistwithasickness]

[Had he met her when she first arrived, she would have been much more awkward, but adapting is what she excels at and the people here have been nice enough to browbeat a little personal sense in her.

She smiles back.]

Thanks.

So. Where did you come from, in your original world?

[magicink]

I'm from Columbus, Ohio, if you know where that is. Not the most exciting place in the world.

[artistwithasickness]

San Jose, California. I hear Ohio gets a lot of shit from the rest of the country. It's gotta have something.

[magicink]

[He shrugs.]

Could be, I don't know. I haven't lived out of the state. I did a tour of their foster homes growing up, but never crossed the border.

[artistwithasickness]

I guess here it doesn't really matter where anyone came from.

[magicink]

I don't think it doesn't matter. It's still an attempt to get to know each other. That's important, don't you think?

[artistwithasickness]

In an attempt to not sound morose, I pass on answering.

The world I come from is important, but where I came from it isn't.. If that makes any sense.

[magicink]

I'll take your word for it. I'm not sure I do understand, but I don't have to.

[artistwithasickness]

[Devi took a second to look at him again.]

I think you're the first person who gets that.

[magicink]

It was a hard learned lesson, let me tell you.

[artistwithasickness]

[After a moment she nods and pads back to her boots, deftly tying the laces together and slinging them over a shoulder.]

I'll leave you to the beach, Julian, but I've got an appointment with the caves.
