advanced anger (open)

[clementinegrey]

It became obvious that Jon didn't want to talk about himself. As soon as she asked him about his abilities, his body tensed and his face went hard. Guarded. "Oh, cool." She smiled while she secretly tried to associate which god he was associated with.

Jon was very quick to change to subject... back on her. "So what do you do with the whole fire thing then?" Her face went blank and her eyes got wide. "I'm sorry?" What the fuck? "Ever burn anyone before?" He was walking closer to her and it made her really uncomfortable, especially do to his body language. It was threatening. She started to move down the counter and around it to distance herself from him again. "I-I-" She struggled unter the pressure. "Not on purpose!" Trauma. It was settling in. The memory was deep in her mind and when it was brought up, trauma would set it. A steady stream of tears fell down her cheeks. What had she done to Jon? Why was he doing this to her?!

(she'll get upset if you press her more. lol)

[jwb]

He stared her down as she stiffened, looking shocked. The girl slid away from him, and he tipped his head back, chin jutting in a challenge for her answer. He stopped moving toward her, unconsciously giving her space as a response to her obvious discomfort.

"Not on purpose!"

It was Jon's turn to look shocked, brows shooting up as his mouth opened slightly. He hadn't actually expected to get anything from this; he was just too worked up to let it go without some reassurance that she wasn't using her powers to hurt people. Who those people were, he didn't care, but the mere idea held some sort of link to Scarlet, and he felt that if he could only scare some sense into someone with this sort of potential, he might somehow make up for the tragedy that had befallen his girlfriend.

Now though, he had an actual reason to be concerned. His jaw tightened, and he crossed his arms, leaning back slightly.
"Like who?" He demanded, voice cold. His eyes narrowed, again impatient.

"What did you do?" He seemed to get a little taller as his voice grew louder, looming, but not making a move toward her.

Although he had stopped approaching her, she was still slowly backing away from him and her cheeks were wet with tears. What the hell posessed him to do this? She hadn't said anything wrong to him. As far as she knew they were having a pleasant and friendly conversation. "Like who?" Like poor little Amelia... "You wouldn't know her! Nobody knows her!"

"What did you do?"

"That's none of your business!" Cleo yelled at him. Nobody knew about her dark secret and she wasn't going to start by telling Jon. She was furious. "Leave me alone!" She yelled again, grabbing at her hair in frustration and looking at the ground. Then. Fire.

A sort of ripping sound came from behind Jon as the two canvases and curtains caught fire. Oh no. Oh no! Damn. These fires caught very fast and spread... well like wild fire.

(bad sorry)
