Leighton tentatively reached out to touch Rowan’s arm when he let her do so. The feeling of the bones made her flinch, as did his description of the feeling. She could see how much hurt was in his expression and it made her feel like fixing everything for him, even though she couldn’t.
“That’s...awful!” She said quietly as she lowered her hand from his arm. Who on earth would do that to a person on purpose? At least her own power only existed because of a genetic mutation.
“I can’t imagine how much pain you must be in all the time.”
The nightingale chirped forlornly, mimicking Leighton’s thought pattern with it’s sad chirps. It hoped onto Rowan’s shoulder and stayed there.
“I knew this girl, Kitty once. She could pass through any solid object, but if she wanted to remain solid she had to force herself not to breathe. It took so much concentration for her just to go through a normal day without passing through a floor or a door or basically anything. One time she fell asleep and got caught right between her bed frame and mattress. She was stuck there for an hour until she stopped panicking.” She sighed at the memory.
“People think having powers is awesome...if only they knew.”
