When Abril was gone, the two began a quiet yet heated conversation. "Stani." Sergey said, calling the other by his nickname, "What has gotten into you? We're not supposed to get attached to this place!" He frowned and crossed his arms as he chastised his brother. Stanislav looked up to Sergey and said, "But she was a pixie, too. We have to be p-polite, we're obligated!" He had a pleading expression on his face as he prayed that Sergey would understand. However, it was clear that he didn't. Sergey sighed in exasperation and said, "We can't start making friends, or else we might get sucked into other people's problems. You never know what these students are like, Stani. I don't know what they want, but it can't be good. It's not a good world we're in. Everyone only cares about themselves- you've already learned that the hard way in the old country! Look, she might be one of us, but she isn't one of us. Things don't work like that anymore, okay?" He was getting stirred emotionally, and ice began to creep up on the table. It was half way covered by the time he'd finished his small rant, but Stanislav hardly noticed it.

When i came back to the table it was nearly frozen solid. "so i realised you were nearly out of food so i got you some more i said handing Sergey the container. I concentrated and the ice started to melt "Wow you must be very good with ice this stuff is powerful i said after the rest of the table was out of ice.

"....Thanks." Sergey said as he took the food, confused as to why she was being nice when he had been such a jerk to her earlier. He concluded that he wasn't trying hard enough. He averted his gaze, refusing to make eye contact with her. When it became apparent that Sergey wasn't going to elaborate, Stanislav decided to explain. "Ah.. We're f-from a small elemental t-tribe along the Pripyat.. In Russia. Or Ukraine, h-however you see it. All the abilities any of our h-heritage can really p-possess is related to one e-element. Sergey's is ice, a-as you can probably t-tell."

"so whats yours" i asked i was really curious to know i didn't know many pixies and i wanted to know all i could

Stanislav smiled, glad that she asked. He lifted one hand and the sunlight from several windows bent, their rays converging to make one orb of light a few inches above Stanislav's palm. The orb grew until it was roughly a foot in diameter before the beams broke off and returned to their positions. That left the orb floating above the boys hand, which he outreached to Abril. "Here, have your own ball of sunlight." He said happily. It was bright and warm, and was probably the physical manifestation of a warm fuzzy. It just kind of induced happiness. Sergey continued to try to ignore what was going on, knowing that he would have to have another stern talk with his brother. He might even forbid him from talking to Abril, if that was what it took.

"Wow, you two must be very powerful! Thank you so much it's so beautiful, here I know what" I said, I unfairness my silver chain necklace and fastened the light orb "so I don't loose it!" I said smiling

[>>Moved.]

Stanislav kept his smile, controlling the orb once again so that it shrank and formed a type of pennant on her necklace. "P-Powerful, maybe. But all we can d-do is light and ice, r-respectively." He said, wondering what it would be like to have the freedom to control other elements as well, but to a lesser degree. That would be strange... But then again, their clan was strange compared to other pixies. Sergey shrugged and merely threw his backpack onto his shoulder. It was almost time for lunch to end.

"So what's your next class"I asked

[>>Moved.]

"Science.." Stanislav answered. He looked up at Sergey expectantly. Sergey had been planning to ignore her question all together, but reluctantly answered, "English."

"Well that's great I also have English" I said happily "want to go together?" I asked
