If you were a superhero, what would you want your power be? And would you tell anyone about it?

I used to read a lot of comic books.

[And by 'used to' he really means right before he came here.]

I guess I've just always liked superheroes. They have powers, gifts, things that make them special. But there's always pain too. They lose people that they love, or they have to hide their true identity. Their lives are never perfect.

Maybe I should've started by asking if you would WANT to be a superhero.

I'm here.

[He's smiling, even if she can't see it. He fades back into view a few seconds later so that she can.]

[sundroplet]

That's a really cool gift. I bet you're the sole winner of every hide-and-seek ever!

[invis]

I haven't ever been asked to play.

[sundroplet]

Ever? I think you'd be better than me and I'm pretty good, myself. Pascal has never really won against me.

[ the chameleon looks mostly annoyed by this bragging, even if it's true. ]

[invis]

Would...would you like to try it sometime?

[sundroplet]

Playing? Yes! Can Pascal play too? He's pretty good.

[invis]

I don't mind.

[sundroplet]

[ she lowers her voice once Pascal wanders out of the frame. ]

We would have to let him win at least once.

[invis]

I don't mind if you don't.

[Simon whispers it back to her. Honestly, just getting to play equals a win to him.]

[sundroplet]

One game. We can't spoil him.

[ she nods. ]
