Nox laid back against the rubberized mat and stared at the ceiling trying to figure out how to make Jay see what he was. He knew only one way but it was dangerous - it was always dangerous. First times....
Memories flooded into his vision and Nox only caught part of what Jay had said. It wasn't complete memories, only a rush of feelings, snippets of words said. Hands on his body, a breath on his neck.
Nox sat up shaking the memories from his head what the fuck did that have to do with his thoughts? He had to remember where he was going with it - first time the gift manifested was usually out of a pure emotional response. Nox sighed and rolled back gracefully into a standing position and smiled at Jay. The man was not going to believe him no matter what he said, but he'd try that first before resorting to the one true method.
Nox wove a wall of air around him, separating him from the rest of the room - safety precaution. The power coursed through his body and Nox started speaking. "But it is true. There is no doubt in my mind it was you. This could be you first time touching the power inside you which is why your wizard friend didn't tell you."
Nox wove a ball of fire between his hands and held it there as he started a Tai Chi kata. The ball of fire forever held between his hands or resting above his right as he moved from the first position into the second. It was a show of control, but more importantly something for Jay to watch and see the patterns of fire and air before him.
Nox continued. "When we were back in the bar, and you remembered whatever horrible thing that I won't make you speak about. I don't even need or want you to think about it. But in that moment - the world became clearer. You could see better in the dim lit bar. You could smell the perfume of our waitress. The ever lingering scent of smoke and alcohol on the air. It was all there, the details were clearer than they ever had been before. But then you calmed your fears, your reaction to that memory and the world lost some of its color. The smells faded to tolerable levels and the world was dull and boring."
Nox quirked a grin as he spoke, even his own colorful personality would have dimmed when the power fled. He didn't say out to Jay, but it made him smile.
Nox moved from form to form as he spoke. The ball of fire perfectly safe between his hands. He'd ask for permission, this time.
"What if I could prove it to you? Can you trust me that much?"
