That backpack is Lisa Frank; it's a company. It's made for girls, but it's okay for boys to like it if they want to. I like some things that some people say are for boys-- like the books about Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.
[Now she's mentally going back to something he said earlier, though.]
[References that Wan had no clue about, so he shrugged. He liked the bag. It was awesome.]
It's north of the town. There's a library there and writing stays in the books. You have to go through the tunnel near the convenience store to get there. There's a lot of monsters in the tunnel, so you shouldn't go alone. If you want, once the fog is completely cleared out, I can take you there. We can cloudwalk the whole way.
[Wan circled a hand in the air and as he did so, his body was moved in a slow, lazy circle, much like a leaf being blown by the wind. A thick, visible cloud formed under his feet, lifting him off the floor of the building about a foot.]
[He wrapped his arms around her loosely, interlocking his fingers as he shut his eyes and focused on the air. Without his hands free to direct the element, it took him a lot more energy and concentration to get the cloud to form. It took a moment before the two of them were lifted off the floor, drifting to one side and then spinning lazily as the air thickened beneath them. It was almost like the two of them were feathers floating across the room as they started drifting higher.
Since she wanted to fly, Wan took her high enough that she could touch the ceiling if she wanted to.]
[And she does reach out and touch the ceiling, hesitantly, almost like she can't believe it's possible. She's seen a lot of amazing things since coming here, but she hasn't done anything amazing. And this is definitely amazing.]
[He grinned, watching her face light up as she reached out to touch the ceiling.]
If it wasn't there, I could go higher than the clouds. But it gets cold when you get that high. And the air isn't as strong either so it's harder to keep the cloud intact.
[Wan laughed and dropped them safely back to the floor, the cloud dissipating.]
Okay. Time for the cans. I only have the two, but it should be enough for at least one meal a day. But that's two more days you don't have to worry about going outside while the fog clears.
[If he had felt it safe to go to the library in North Haven right then, he would have taken her. So he made a promise to do so in the future:]
When the fog clears and things seem safe enough, I'll take you to Haven North. Since we can't go there right now, how about we tell each other stories. Whatever kind of stories you like.

This. Basically, it's a way of flying.
Action!
Date: 2014-06-22 05:27 pm (UTC)And I can do that, too?
Action!
Date: 2014-06-22 05:33 pm (UTC)[He shook his head and let himself drop to the ground, dissipating the cloud.]
You can't airbend the way I can. But I can carry you and we can fly through the tunnel really fast. It's pretty fun.

Date: 2014-06-22 05:47 pm (UTC)[Well it would be better to do it outside, but the fog made that dangerous even if it was starting to dissipate.]
Ah... sure. We could do that in here. Um...
[Wan frowned and then dropped to the floor in a smooth motion to sit cross legged.]
Sit on my lap for this. The ceiling isn't that tall and it'll be easier to get more height for both of us if we're sitting.
Action!
Date: 2014-06-22 05:59 pm (UTC)[She sits down on his lap, pulling her knees up to her chest.]
Ready.

How high can you go if you're outside?

Date: 2014-06-27 06:14 pm (UTC)[Opened his backpack and took out the cans, handing them to her. He was assuming she had a way to open them. A knife if nothing else.]
Do you need me to stay for a while? Want me to? I have some time.
Action!
Date: 2014-07-03 12:00 am (UTC)But she also wants to be brave.]
It's okay. I bet you have a lot of important stuff to do.
Action!
Date: 2014-07-03 12:36 am (UTC)[He shrugged, putting his backpack on and idly stepping backwards toward the door.]
My only plan is to be back in my building by nightfall. Which is at least three hours from now. Maybe four.

Date: 2014-07-08 03:26 am (UTC)[He jumped over the back of the couch so he could sit on it, his legs folded up under him and his body leaning forward toward her with a grin.]
What are we doing?
Action!
Date: 2014-07-10 03:02 pm (UTC)[When she was stuck inside at home, she'd read, or go to Carol's school if it was being held.]
I wish there were books here.

Do you know about Huck Finn?
