THE HARGREEVES:

Comments

[obediences]

What, like-- hoodlums?

[ It's an oddly antiquated word, but coming from an oddly antiquated man. ]

[codeofiron]

Yeah.

It was normal, in that part of town.

[obediences]

If you were a thief, you know I probably would've had to capture you if we'd met as teens?

[ It's... kind of a joke? Maybe? An attempt at lightening the mood, at least. ]

[codeofiron]

[Behind the safety of the screen, Brandon winces slightly. If he hadn't known that before the City, he can certainly imagine it now.

(What would Luther think of Brandon's actual profession back in his world? He doubts it would be as simple as Rex's "oh, I see.")

Still, he can tell what the intent behind the comment must have been. An attempt to ease any tension, not add to it.]

I wasn't easy to catch.

[obediences]

Man, tell me about it.

[ The wryly long-suffering sound of someone who had tried to catch Brandon, and failed. ]



Can you do that here? In this world. Turn into... whatever you turned into.

[codeofiron]

[He hesitates, again. But he's talking to this Luther, not the other one. It's not something he's shared, but when someone already knows about it, and they're trustworthy...]

Yes.

It's a new power.

[obediences]

I got a new one last year, too. It turns elevators into teleporters. [ An offering; an attempt at saying You're not alone. ]

What is yours, exactly?
