It's better than the welcome hall. We always have hot water, it's quieter, no one bugs you if you're up late... she cooks.
[You need a job first, dad.
Connor leans back in his chair as their coffee shows up, then fusses with a sugar packet.]
Any specific questions I can start with?

[ he's slowly been starting to get the hang of this voice mail stuff, but it still takes him an uncomfortable long while to finally manage a reply. though part of him does consider just giving up entirely in hopes of trying to avoid getting dragged out to this festival...
but something tells him she really did mean that threat at the end. ]
Sure. [ he pauses, not sure what else to say. or perhaps just wondering whether he even managed to properly reply using this thing. ] Uh... I mean, yeah. I'll go. That's fine.
[ no need to twist his arm... too much. ]
This is stupid, I feel like I'm just talking to myself. [ and with a click, off goes his message back to her. ]

Neither of us were dealing very well with losing our abilities.

[Connor seems amused again.... You're so obvious.]
She's human. But not all the time-- she's a shapeshifter.

It did. They took her shifting, she's stuck in her real body here.
Shadow control, same as me but really advanced.
No, and I don't think it's fair to take strength and speed and healing and my senses from me. Even in the time I didn't know I was 'special' I relied on it constantly. Guess you don't realize stuff like that til it's taken away.
