[seems like she's found a nice, spacious track to practice running in. with a loose shirt and knee-length shorts, she's surprisingly quick on her feet, considering she's barefoot. and yes, her feet are normal-sized. shocking, huh. she stops after a while, leaning down with her hands on her knees, breathing. one hand comes to feel the pulse in her neck--and ... she keeps forgetting her place.]

50, 51, 52--uh... shoot.

[He stands eventually, and starts hopping down the bleachers until he's reached the ground. He's not interrupting her yet.]

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[--she finally has her count! doesn't seem too bad, so she's about to start running before she notices him.]

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[Hmmmm. He'll just wander onto the track and watch her.]

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[she blinks.]

Hey. ... you're...

[an Axel. but tiny.]

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[He pulls down the hood, staring up at her.]

I'm what?

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

... tiny.

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[Hello my name is YOU GET AN UNIMPRESSED LOOK.]

And you're a girl. What's your point?

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

You're usually...

[she brings her hand up, above her head quite a few inches.]

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[Just. Stares at her blankly.]

I'm eight.

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

--oh, so it's not a spell?

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

No, I'm always this size.

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

... well, it's kind of cute, th--

[wait you're an Axel.]

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[WHAT NO makes a face.]

I'm not cute.

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[kind of laughs.]

Okay.

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[And he crosses his arms, pouting scowling.]

I'm not!

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

I said okay!

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[Hmph. He was just making sure she knew!]

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[well, she knows! ... she takes a look at the bleachers, before down at him.]

How long were you watching?

['cause she took a few falls back there...]

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

A while.

[He's not going to specify.]

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[... well, that's like her.]

Hey, do you have all the powers the other Axels have?

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

[His face scrunches up in annoyance and he shakes his head.]

Only kind of.

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

Kinda? Just some of 'em?

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

I can't really control anything yet.

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[she makes a face and sighs, sitting to take a break.]

That sucks.

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

I can do this though.

[He pulls a lighter from his pocket and flicks it open. The flame promptly jumps up about a foot.]

[girlkey.livejournal.com]

[she flinches, eyes widening.]

... pretty cool, though!

[kidfire.livejournal.com]

I guess, but all the grownup Axels can make fire outta nowhere. I can only use my lighter, and it sucks anyway.
