Faust -
"And you want to go on with your business, and keep your nose out of mine." My voice was low and hollow, the pit of my stomach burning as my skin grew goosebumps. It was normal, of course: for this to happen when I was using my 'Power'.
I felt cold as ice, even though the crowd of people bustling by were shoulder to shoulder.
My fingers clenched tightly around my cup of water, so I set in on the table beside me as I maintained eye contact with the young girl I was speaking sternly to, "I want to go on with my business." she mimicked dully, her eyes oddly vacant.
"No one will hear of this. What you saw was a trick of the light. I. Stole. Nothing. Do I have your word?" I kept my voice calm. I was but an older brother, berating my sister. That's what the public would see.
"Yes, yes sir, I promise." She looked at me earnestly, and my gut twisted with guilt.
"Good. I'm proud of you." It was all I could do not to look away as she beamed at me, glowing with pride. She wanted to please me. To make me proud.
Damn it all.
I gritted my teeth. I was about to walk away before I heard her gasp, "Sir, sir, your drink, it's--"
I took a single, nonchalant glance backwards before understanding immediately. My water was levitating. Oh, my. Snapping my head forward again, meeting her gaze, "No." I growled out. "You didn't see that. You are very, very busy. You ought to be on your way."
She jumped at my tone, her eyes vacant again, "I am very busy, sir. I must be going...are you upset with me?" She asked quietly, looking down at her feet.
I was scum. I wanted to hit myself. I shook it off, "Yes. Very. Now go." I snarled again, turning around in time to hear a scream.
Great Thor, what now?!
